How to design a modern cloakroom suite

If you have space under the stairs to create a small cloakroom suite and the rest of your interior design is a contemporary theme you’ll probably want to design a cloakroom which matches this style. Using modern bathroom products and accessories you can easily achieve a stylish and modern looking cloakroom.

Cloakroom Tiles:

Designing a cloakroom suite with tiles if you’re wanting to create a modern theme is a very good idea. Whereas painting the cloakroom with bold colors may add a touch of vibrancy, designing with modern cloakroom tiles is sure to give the room a contemporary feel. Use dark colors like grey and cobalt to create a mens cloakroom design, ideal for bachelor pads.

Basins and Toilets:

Choose wall-hung basins and toilets for a modern effect. Such items are more compact than traditional sanitaryware and their minimalist designs make them perfect for the modern cloakroom. Use modern single lever basin mixers to continue that minimal theme.

Flooring:

If you’re using wall tiles in the cloakroom why not go the whole way and have matching floor tiles? Other modern solutions which can be more economical is wooden flooring, laminate flooring and swiftlock flooring.

Accessories:

Finish the design off with eye-catching accessories – towels and flannels to match the rest of the design. Toilet roll holders, toilet brush and soap dishes in chrome are a great addition to any modern bathroom or cloakroom.

Tips on how to design a cloakroom suite

Traditionally a cloakroom suite is a small downstairs room, comprising only of a toilet and wash basin. These days, however, many people are being more imaginative when designing a cloakroom. This is mainly due to the popularity of furniture in cloakroom sets.

Vanity units with built in basins are a great option for small cloakrooms because of the number of different sizes they are available in. Also, back-to-wall toilet units are a more modern choice for the contemporary bathroom, and the same applies with cloakrooms.

Cloakroom basins offer a great space-saving solution. Choosing a cloakroom corner basin will free up a lot of space and give the room a stylish minimalist look. Wall-hung cloakroom sinks are another good choice for keeping a minimal design and saving on space.

Cloakroom toilets are available in a number of slimline and inconspicuous designs. Choose either a small back-to-wall toilet or a wall-hung toilet to create a compact cloakroom suite.

Choosing the right cloakroom basin

When shopping for a new cloakroom basin the first thing to consider is the space in the cloakroom. If you are limited for room you may want to consider a corner basin, as this will free up a great deal of floor space, especially if you opt for a wall-hung corner cloakroom basin.

Cloakroom basins without a pedestal are becoming the most popular option these days for modern cloakroom designs . A wall-mounted basin, of course, can be adjusted to hang where you please, whereas with a cloakroom pedestal you are limited with where you can arrange it.

Corner cloakroom sinks are often in a set with a matching corner toilet, another great space-saving solution which pushes the cloakroom sanitary area to one side of the room. Choosing a cloakroom basin is usually about utilizing the space you have with a design and look which appeals to you.

Also consider choosing cloakroom taps which will match the design of your new basin. If modern, how about a wall-mounted basin filler? If going for a more traditional look choose Victorian or Georgian style faucets.
