2. Yes, the vanity can be tucked into a niche too. Here, the curved vanity not only softens the decor but also avoids hazards due to sharp protruding corners. The shower area is accessible through a sliding door, one that does not demand extra floor space for opening or closing.
3. Built-in shallow niches provide bonus storage to this chic vanity area. Mirrors on opposite walls multiply the size of the room, creating the illusion of a large space.

4. This one aptly utilises the space available on the narrower wall. The tap, fixed on the side of the basin, allows for a narrower counter area. Open shelves at various heights pack ample surface for storage and display.
5. This area works on similar lines to the previous one. A wall-mounted tap allows the use of a smaller vanity, freeing up space in the bathroom. Simultaneously, the vessel sink saves under-counter space for more storage.

6. Here, the otherwise wasted area above the WC is put to work by arranging multiple narrow open shelves. This unit comes handy in storing and accessing frequently-used toiletries that usually crowd the basin counter.
7. In another bathroom of the same residence, the washbasin counter is extended over the water closet on the adjacent wall. This scheme yields additional storage without compromising on the layout of the bathroom.
8. Sleek, minimalist fixtures favour small bathrooms. They take up less floor and wall space, and reduce the weight of the room visually. The trough basin, wall-mounted water closet and hanging vanity form an easy-going contemporary bathroom here. In this type of setting, the unobstructed floor is much easier to clean.
9. To keep the look breezy and modest, the shower area is separated by a clear glass partition in this tiny bathroom. Further, glass shelves add to the storage area without cluttering the decor.

11. Here, closed mirror cabinets, open wall-mounted shelves and a niche work together to employ the wall as much as possible. White subway tiles give a subtle, fresh look to this close-packed bathroom.

12. Talking of white, it can be a go-to colour in small spaces. Here, large white tiles and fittings visually maximise the little space by reflecting light all around. A pop of yellow and red give character to the bathroom, without over-clouding the lightness.
13. Adding to the all-white setup, the picture on the wall and the patterned floor establish varied focal points in this bathroom. These points draw the eye away from the narrowness of the space.
14. This quirky bathroom uses a wall with open overhead shelves to store items. Such slabs can be repeated on the area above the door and vanity mirror too. It is a great trick to keep the bathroom visually clean and organised at the eye level.
15. This one-of-a-kind bathroom features an integrated shower and bathtub where the spray is located directly over the tub. This single unit makes up for two separate areas – the shower and the bathtub – saving a lot of precious space.
