As the space most often used to store all the unnecessary household clutter, the cloakroom is usually one of the most neglected areas of the house, despite the fact it offers great potential.

For those looking to upgrade their downstairs space to a fully fitted, downstairs washroom to be proud of, Dolphin has a number of stylish options to choose from:
Under stairs cloakroom (In our picture.)

• Stunning in its simplicity, the understairs cloakroom makes the most of a limited space. It features the gorgeous Esta wash station, complete with an integrated basin, which offers fantastic storage to hide away those everyday essentials.

• With its stylish solar mirror, this cleverly designed room manages to look classic yet contemporary; the mirror has a high-tech infra-red switch fitted, as well as a demister pad to prevent the mirror from steaming up.

• This understairs solution is also fitted with an attractive 300×800 heated towel rail, which adds a practical yet stylish touch.

• Combined with the gorgeous Dados blanco tiles to give the illusion of space, this design will give neglected cloakrooms an instant wow factor.

Cloakroom

• This polished cloakroom features chic, casino wall-hung furniture, and a slightly more contemporary look – perfect for urban living.

• A glossy splash basin adds a sleek look to the room, while the soft-line back-to-wall WC, which is backed on to the Envy WC unit, completes the look.

• With two internal shelves, the mirrored Modena cabinet adds further storage space, which is ideal for maximizing space in this typically small room.

• The effortlessly stylish Young stone scored tiles and add the illusion of extra space.

Geoff Wells, bathroom planning expert for Dolphin Bathrooms, comments:
“Both of these new designs from Dolphin make the most of what’s usually a neglected room.

Each gorgeous cloakroom solution makes the most of a small space, and the stylish and contemporary details add a touch of glamour to any home.

Having a second washroom is ideal for busy households and with Dolphin, it is possible to make the most of this extra space in the home.”

Wet rooms are the ultimate style statement and Manhattan has created a beautiful series of Wet rooms that portray a delicate yet luxurious flavour combining classic design and precision craftsmanship.

Manhattan understands that homes and bathrooms come in many different shapes and sizes, therefore its latest wet room products encompass a plethora of design solutions.
