Cloakroom refers to an era when over-cloaks were common. The cloakroom was located near the main entrance to the house and other public buildings. These were the places where you could leave your outer clothes when you entered the property.
The Victorian or Edwardian cloak rooms have been demolished over time. These rooms have been converted into a small toilet area and hand basin room. The term "cloakroom" is still used in new constructions.
Large hotels, venues, and conference centers still have cloakrooms. These have cloakrooms for guests to store their bags, coats and other items that they don't wish to bring into the main building.
What makes a good cloakroom?
A cloakroom may be located under the stairs, or right next to the front door. The design of the cloakroom should be considered.
You will need space to store your toiletries, towels, and toiletries.
You might find a space in the larger cloakrooms to hang coats or a shoe rack, which could help reduce the clutter in the hallway.
The Cloakroom Corner is a great place to use
Make the corner space functional and maximize the space.
Many small corner-mounted or wall-hung basins are available on the market that make use of an area often overlooked. The pictured one has a towel rail built-in and space for the soap base, making it multifunctional.
You can also have a corner bathroom or corner storage cabinet, instead of the basin being in the corner.
Storage with a Narrow Basin Wall Unit
Wall-hung vanity units are usually smaller than floor-mounted vanities.
If space is limited, this can be a great advantage.
These can be fitted in narrow spaces and allow you to fully utilize the areas of your cloakroom that you might not have thought of before.
Place a Basin above the Cistern
The cistern shelf can be used as a cloakroom sink. The water from the sink can be used to save water by flowing directly into the cistern.
Cloakroom basins for the narrowest of needs
The smallest wash basins are approximately 200 - 250mm in width. However, they can fit in narrow spaces with clever space planning.
These are some tips to make the most of a small space.
Place the tap to the side
There is plenty of room to put soap in the basin
How do I attach a cloakroom basin on the Countertop?
Do I have to install a cloakroom basin myself?
Although it is not rocket science, you will need to have basic DIY skills in order to install a cloakroom basin.
A professional is usually a better choice if you are not confident or inclined to do it yourself. This will often guarantee a more beautiful finish.
How can I fix the basin to the countertop?
It is necessary to drill a drain hole into the counter, and to do basic plumbing. Also, it is important to inspect the basin for any special mounting instructions. Most basins follow the same process. How does the basin hold its place on the work surface? The answer is the waste plug
The image below shows that the waste has a long shaft that fits through the basin, then the counter. It is then secured under the counter using the large fixing nuts to keep the basin in place.
Once the silicone has been secured, you can apply it all around the basin's edge to stop water from seeping under the basin or sitting stagnant on top.
What is the relationship between a Wall Hung Basin and the Wall?
The wall-hung cloakroom basin has holes in its back to accommodate the two fixing bolts included with the basin. These are intended to fix the basin to the wall. They can be used to attach the basin to an external wall or to an internal wall with the corresponding nogging.
