The elongated bathroom is an interior that allows for creative use of space. However, we can often get the impression that it can be an arrangement challenge. Nothing could be further from the truth! An elongated bathroom offers the opportunity to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing space. In this material, we outline the advantages of this layout and how it can be used in practice.

Advantages of an elongated bathroom

By properly planning the design of the bathroom furnishings, the bathroom meets the expectations of all its users. An elongated interior for the bathroom has many positive sides:

• optimum use of the available floor space - an elongated bathroom is the perfect layout to create a unique bathing area - whether in the bath or shower - and to set out other areas without which the bathroom would not be fully functional;
• flexible layout - the longitudinal shape of the interior provides flexibility in planning the furnishings; each part of the bathroom can be assigned a different function, allowing it to be tailored to the needs of its users;
• impression of space - a well-designed elongated bathroom creates the impression of more space; by appropriately positioning the furnishings, the bathroom room appears larger and more spacious.

An elongated bathroom - how to arrange it?

An elongated bathroom offers the possibility of creating a unique bathing and relaxing interior. Here are a few tips on how to make it fit for purpose:

• create a shower area - use a walk-in shower enclosure and shower tray or divide the area by installing a shower door with a shower tray across the width of the bathroom - these solutions maximise the use of space;
• Install a bathtub - if you are a fan of bathing, adjust the size of the bathtub to the width of the bathroom to create a separate area not only for bathing but also for relaxing. Installing a bathtub is a compact solution that saves space and at the same time becomes the centre of the bathroom; installing a bathtub screen on top of the bathtub increases the functionality of the area by combining bathing and showering;
• light up the room - with the right and varied lighting, you can create a pleasant atmosphere in every area of the bathroom, while at the same time making it optically larger;
• Match colours and materials - opt for solutions that reflect light, which make the interior seem more spacious; bright colours, large mirrors and glossy surfaces - when combined, the effect is stunning;
• Plan storage space - in an elongated bathroom it is advisable to install hanging cabinets and shelves with space for bath accessories, towels and such; in such an interior it is important to keep things tidy.

Arranging an elongated bathroom will be a real pleasure if we choose products that suit our tastes and needs.  Here is an example of a well-designed interior in terms of both function and design. The reference to nature is immediately noticeable in this elongated bathroom: the floor is laid in smooth stone tiles. The walls are finished with imitation wood tiles. This gives the bathroom a cosy feel. The spacious walk-in shower enclosure from the Altus II series is a great convenience. The surface of the large, square shower tray of the Space Mineral S series is exactly at floor level. This eliminates an architectural obstacle to using the shower.
