A good option that is popular when working with cloakrooms and wash basins is to place the wash basin in the corner. This will maximize the space, and allow for the use of a great corner unit, which will be home to a wide range of storage options. It will also leave the wall left vacant by the corner wash basin open for another shelf or piece of furniture, opposite the toilet. If the corner wash basin is not something that interests the homeowner, perhaps a corner storage unit will better suit their tastes, while still taking advantage of all the space the cloakroom to offer.

With limited space and options, another great place to look is the toilet. By adding a custom piece of furniture to wrap around the sides of the toilet and sit on top, one can add a great deal of storage and shelving to an otherwise featureless cloakroom. Not only is it completely functional, but it also serves as a way to hide all the visible plumbing that accompanies a toilet, making it rather aesthetically pleasing as well. Do not forget the different wall-mounted shelves and storage compartments that are widely available. But with that, also remember not to over-use such items, resulting in a cluttered, difficult to maneuver in a cloakroom.

Cloakrooms, because of their relatively small size, do not allow for much in the way of deviation from one another. Aside from the wash basin and the toilet, room for anything else can be somewhat nonexistent. But with the right mindset and design, implementing a few pieces of cloakroom furnitureinto the design should be a breeze, and much needed.
