Cloakrooms are often under the stairs or in an old outhouse turned into part of the house, so headroom and the waste run usually decide the layout. The one pictured uses a backlit mirror, a compact basin unit and a towel rail to make a tight space feel finished.
What works well in a cloakroom
- Short projection basins and slim vanity units
- Back-to-wall or wall-hung toilets
- Backlit or LED mirrors
- Half height tiling to keep it bright
- A compact towel rail for warmth
