When it comes to bathroom design, small doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style or storage.
According to bathroom specialists Roper Rhodes, interest in compact bathrooms has seen a major surge recently – with Pinterest searches for ‘modern small bathrooms’ jumping by 200% in the past month alone.
But as the average UK bathroom clocks in at just 2.4m by 1.8m – about the same size as a king-sized bed – homeowners need to get creative to make every centimetre count.
Zoe Jones, Interior Designer for Roper Rhodes, said: “There’s a common misconception that fitted furniture is just for big family bathrooms – but it’s actually the best solution for compact spaces.
“Fitted units are designed to work with the exact dimensions of your bathroom. They slot into every awkward corner, recess, and alcove – which means no wasted space and a beautifully cohesive finish.”
Roper Rhodes offers three fitted furniture collections tailored for small but stylish bathrooms: Burford, Aruba, and Elan.
Burford blends traditional details with a modern edge – all clean lines and understated character.
Aruba is sleek, industrial, and space-savvy, with a minimalist slab-front style and a slimline depth perfect for smaller settings.
Elan brings timeless Shaker style to the table, with a crisp, framed design and endless layout options to maximise storage.
Zoe added: “Whether you’re working with a tiny ensuite or a petite cloakroom, choosing the right furniture layout can totally transform your bathroom.
“Our fitted furniture collections combine sharp looks with practical design – giving homeowners that sought-after sense of calm, order, and function in even the smallest of spaces.”
