Quick answers
I have a very narrow WC or tiny bathroom. What renovation choices make it comfortable and practical?
In a narrow WC or small bathroom you gain valuable space by replacing an old tub with a shower, fitting a concealed cistern with a wall-hung toilet, and using light tiles or smooth white walls.
In many Athens flats the guest WC is a very narrow room, and even the main bathroom is often cramped by an old bathtub that leaves minimal standing room.
In this narrow WC, once stripped back to the bricks, a concealed cistern frame was built into the wall so the toilet sits further back and leaves the floor clear. The walls were plastered and finished smooth white, with new grey tiles laid on the floor.
In a small bathroom, ripping out the old tub, running new plumbing and building a corner shower alongside a compact vanity unit opens up the room for everyday use.
