Designing a small bathroom measuring 4 m²
Opinions vary on just how large a small bathroom can be. Depending on the region and construction standards, 4 square metres can generally be considered a small bathroom. A modern mini bathroom with all essential components can be designed here without any problems. This includes a toilet, washplace, shower or alternatively a bathtub.
Beautiful design is also possible with 4 m²
If it works on a large scale, it will work on a small scale too. High-quality materials and colours for tiles and walls also carry out their function when designing a small bathroom.
When choosing the colour for a small room measuring just 4 square metres, bright colours give a sense of freshness while dark colours are more cosy.
A minimalist style is recommended for anyone wanting to get the most from their 4 m² bathroom – this results in added tidiness, makes cleaning easier and also ensures peace of mind.
Challenges when designing a small 4 m² bathroom
When designing a small bathroom, the optimal use of the limited space available is of primary importance. If the bathroom door opens inwards, for example, additional usable space is lost.
The arrangement of the toilet, washplace and shower is thus critical. These should be arranged so they can easily be negotiated. A sliding door is an alternative for creating more space. If the small bathroom has a rectangular floor plan, a bathtub should be positioned at the end of the room.
