To remodel a small bathroom is to pick up the gauntlet of challenge and say, Yes, I can do it. Ideally, your goal in remodeling a small bathroom is to update the fixtures and make the most of the space you have available. There are certain decisions you can make to help your small bathroom “look” and “feel” bigger.
Showers And Sinks
What can you do to make the most of the space you have available? Well, for starters, you can replace a bath tub with a large shower. If you really want to keep a tub, choose a smaller but deeper type of bath tub. You can also install a pedestal sink as they tend to take up less room. A wall-mounted sink is another good space-saving idea.
Lighting Choices
The type of lighting you choose can help tremendously with the perception that a space looks bigger than it actually is. Light wall and floor colors can help a room seem bigger as well. Use a large lighted mirror with cabinet that fits into a recess in the wall. The large mirror will help reflect light to make the room look bigger.
Perception Of Space
Contrast colored tile in a diagonal pattern to help give the room a sense of depth. Use pale or soft, muted colors to give the room a perceived openness and lightness. Accent the softer colors of the wall with bright, colorful towels and accessories. Don’t use wallpaper on the walls unless it’s a really light color with a light pattern.
If there is not a window in your bathroom, you might consider adding one, or adding a skylight. If you add a window, use glass block so you won’t have the need for a window blind or shade.
Storage Space
Storing things neatly in a resourceful storage area is another good idea to efficiently utilize a small bathroom. You need storage space; there are just no two ways about it. In a small bathroom space, you may need to get creative to find different ways to arrange for that storage space. You’ll be surprised at the ideas you can come up with once you look the situation over and start thinking through all the possibilities. You can use wall cabinets, corner shelves, or recessed cabinets instead of vanities or regular cabinets that take up more floor space. Install wall-mounted glass shelves; the clear glass gives the appearance of more space. Keep the bathroom free from clutter to avail yourself of the assets of the room.
