Small bathrooms are convenient and help to make ideal use of the space you have, providing an additional bathroom for guests or your family. However, remodeling a small bathroom can present a significant challenge in creating the right balance of style, convenience and functionality, in a limited space. Here we look at seven tips that will help you make the most of even the smallest space when remodeling your bathroom.
Use A Floating Vanity
A floating vanity is not only an attractive and stylish choice, it also helps to make the room appear bigger. A floating vanity frees up space underneath the vanity for other bathroom features or storage.
Leave Storage and Shelves Open
Shutting in storage space and shelves with doors or curtains can close down your space, making it seem smaller and more stuffy. Leave storage areas and shelves open where possible, and use compact and lean towel racks to store linens,.
Add Natural Light
Natural light adds illumination and brightness to your space, helping it to appear bigger than it is. Be sure your remodel contractor leaves windows in your small bathroom open, and try to maximize available natural light by using skylights or light tubes if necessary.
Go Big On the Mirror
Even in the smallest spaces, a large mirror can help to expand the appearance of the space you have, and a bigger mirror means more space for an extra person to use if necessary. Mirrors amplify light and reflect your space to open it out, so the bigger the mirror, the better.
Know Where To Pattern and Where To Paint
Excess patterning on the walls, particularly of a small size, can close down your space, making it appear overly busy and crowded. Your remodel contractor should save patterns for the floor, and keep the walls simple, in order to make your small bathroom look bigger. Alternatively, if you do want patterns on the walls, use larger size patterns to trick the eye into seeing a larger space.
Skip The Shower Door
While glass shower doors are very popular additions in bathroom remodel projects, they don’t always work in small bathrooms where there is insufficient space for a swinging door. Try a stationary glass shower screen, glass half wall, frameless sliding shower door, or even an attractive shower curtain when remodeling your small bathroom.
Round The Edges
In very compact powder rooms, there is often not much room to move around once toilet positioning, vanity placement and towel racks have been taken into account. Your remodel contractor can suggest the ideal rounded fixtures and design for your small bathroom, which helps to smooth sharp corners and provides a little more space to help you move around comfortably.
While the idea of pulling off a stunning bathroom remodel in a small space can seem daunting, with the right tricks and techniques and the expert assistance of an outstanding remodel contractor, you can make even the smallest bathroom look and feel comfortable, stylish and functional.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
