The HBD flats in Singapore provide affordable housing and are favoured by millions of Singaporeans interested in the benefits offered by this housing project. Unfortunately, the average size of the bathroom in some of the public housing facilities are less than 3sqm.

In the following article, Trine Bretteville discusses ways to enhance your small bathroom, while leaving it clutter-free.

Undoubtedly, it is much easier to get accessories for a big bathroom because you can use several items that complement one another. Smaller bathrooms are a little more complicated because you don’t want to use too many accessories. Sometimes three fixtures may even be too much. The trick with small bathrooms is to go with the minimalist approach, and at the same time, use accessories that give the perception that the room is larger than it is. For example, you can use wall mirrors to reflect more lighting, wall-mounted toilets to create more space, and opt for a shower instead of the bathtub.

The author of the following article in home-designing.com discusses some of the ways you can accessorize a bathroom if you are looking for a modern style.

“We all spend a lot of time in our bathrooms, so it’s only right that we should make them into a simply gorgeous place to be. Unique bathtubs, sleek vanity units and modern toilet designs come in all shapes and sizes, to suit spaces and budgets both large and small. Aside from the essential facilities, bathrooms can be accessorised with chic dispensers and storage.

The amount of natural light coming through your bathroom is critical for your bathroom’s aesthetic appeal in modern bathrooms. Wide windows and wall mirrors are commonly used in the design of modern bathrooms. A glass medicine cabinet placed on the wall, whether vertically or horizontally, is a great addition. If possible, including a sliding door to the outdoors to increase ventilation and to introduce the concept of nature into the design. If you love greenery, you can create a garden in the bathroom, by having potted plants or if you have space, create a green area in your bathroom.
