A cloakroom is a unique room within a home. It offers the convenience of a downstairs toilet, a place for guests to freshen up and the opportunity for one last mirror check before you leave the house.
While it may be small, there’s a lot that can be put into a cloakroom design to transform it into a beautiful, welcoming and modern space. From vibrant basins and stunning furniture to compact toilets and beautiful accessories, there are many ways to make the most of the space while bringing personality and style into your design.
Whether you’re looking for a calming, neutral design or a bold, creative interior, discover how to make the most of your cloakroom…
One of the main features of a cloakroom is the basin. Offering excellent hygiene or a quick place to freshen up, the basin will be one of, if not the, most used feature in the room. When planning your cloakroom design, you have two options: a furniture unit with an integrated basin or a stand-alone basin, each coming with its own benefits.
Cloakroom Furniture
Cloakroom furniture offers a space-saving solution that tucks away nicely in compact rooms. Knowing that it’s easy for smaller rooms to become easily cluttered, our cloakroom furniture features optimised storage space to keep all your essentials neatly hidden away. Our cloakroom furniture ranges, Alo and Limit, bring beautiful design, texture and colour into your space. These compact units make the most of the space and offer both wall-hung and floorstanding solutions. Presenting a range of colours spanning from natural woods to bold hues and various texture options, our cloakroom furniture units are ideal for any cloakroom design or style. |
Wall-Hung Basins
When space is limited or a furniture unit isn’t your cup of tea, a wall-hung basin is the way to go. Our cloakroom basins are designed with small spaces in mind, featuring a compact design with a reduced projection. Offering style as well as practicality, our Beck and Popolo basins achieve a highly modern cloakroom design with creative colour options also available for those who prefer a bold or maximalist style. |
Aside from the basin, the toilet is the other primary fixture of a cloakroom. Toilets come in a wide range of shapes, styles and sizes, so how do you find the right one for your cloakroom? A good place to start is by looking at the type of toilet you need. Wall-hung and back-to-wall styles save space by concealing the cistern within the wall. This means that only the pan extends out into the room, taking up less space than a close-coupled toilet.
Achieve a highly modern look with the curved designs of our Glide II and Kai toilet ranges. With soft-close seats and rimless options available, find the perfect design for your cloakroom interior. For a truly contemporary design, complete the look with a stylish flush plate offering water-saving dual flush controls.
Once you have the cloakroom essentials in place, complete the space with modern finishing touches. The first thing to consider is a mirror and lighting. The cloakroom is a space that will be frequently used, whether it be guests looking to freshen up or a last check before you leave the house, so including a mirror space with excellent lighting is a must. Our range of mirrors includes a wide range of shapes, sizes and styles, helping you to find the perfect look for your design. Complete the space with our Tranquil lighting range, featuring a unique, modern aesthetic.
It's also a good idea to consider accessories around the basin and toilet to turn your design into a functional space. From toilet roll holders to soap dispensers and towel rails, our accessory ranges have everything you need to complete your design. With a range of finishes, styles and aesthetics available, find your perfect look with our selection of accessories.
