boydens.co.uk Home 40 “When it comes to the actual style of your vanity unit, it really comes down to personal taste,” comments James Stevenson, Creative Director at Imperial Bathrooms (imperialbathroom.com). “Perhaps you prefer a model with design flourishes and features such as glass legs or period handles, or maybe you’re more inclined towards a simple, more pared-back aesthetic with a classic look and clean lines. Whatever your preference, bear in mind that your vanity unit can play an all-important role in maximising your bathroom storage.” Maximise your space with fitted furniture that makes the most of tight corners and awkward spaces, adds Helen Clark, Head of Marketing at bathroom expert Utopia (utopiagroup.com). “In terms of interior storage, look for deep drawers and adjustable shelving to allow for those taller bottles. Compartmentalised drawer spaces are also excellent for organising make-up and personal grooming items.” Organise makeup and toiletries in drawers in transparent containers to make it easy and quick to grab and go – especially at peak times like the school run. Freestanding wall storage can be used to create a focal point, while in smaller bathrooms, wall-hung cupboards provide the ideal solution, creating the illusion of more space by maximising the visible area of the floor. A towel rail on a wall-hung unit or utilising the unused space on the back of a door for hanging towels and bath robes also incorporate practicality in a smaller setting. If your bathroom is really bijou, consider running a shelf above the bathroom door or utilising the wall space above the toilet for a storage unit. Orthex at homebase.com imperialbathroom.com
