In our eyes, an en-suite bathroom is a luxury, mainly because you can get up out of bed, walk a couple of steps without needing to leave your bedroom, and jump straight into the shower or bathtub. If you’ve lived in a house with just one bathroom, you’ll know just how much of a luxury it is.

But en-suites are not known as the most spacious bathrooms. Of course, they can be, depending on the size of the house, but many en-duties can be quite cramped, meaning its important to make good use of space.

To help you get a bit more space for your buck, take down any bulky cupboards, shelving can take up less room, and it will likely hold the same amount of products. Inside the shower, there should be a wall amounted shelf, allowing you to place your shower gels, shampoos and conditioners, without having to exit the bathroom, and without taking up space elsewhere.

The sink section should have a shelf, a mirror and a sink, not much else. The toilet should only contain a toilet and a mat, while the enclosed shower should have shelving in side and nothing else. Without the additional extras that can make their way into a bathroom, it can be clutter free and actually feel a lot more spacious.
