Granite tenements have high ceilings and plenty of character, but their bathrooms can be small or awkward around windows and pipes.

Make the most of a tall room

A tall room can suit a large mirror, upright wall panels and well-placed lights. Keep some walls clear so the window and room height stand out.

Keep the main pipe in mind

Moving the toilet or main waste pipe can cost more, especially in a flat. A smaller basin unit, shower-bath or different door opening may improve the room without moving the main pipe.

Help the room dry

Older homes still need a good extractor fan, heating and waterproof walls. These choices help the room dry after a bath or shower.

  • Use fitted storage to keep shelves clear
  • Choose privacy solutions that protect natural light
  • Check floors and walls before fixing new finishes
  • Consider easy-clean panels in tight shower areas
