GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR SMALL BATHROOM WITH THESE TIPS
Blend Together The Wall And Bathroom Tile Color
When you first get started on your bathroom remodel, you’re going to want to pick a color scheme. First, figure out what type of space you want to create. Do you want something refreshing, airy, and light? If so, you’ll want to opt for lighter and brighter neutrals. If you want something with more texture, you’ll want to go with darker neutrals. Either way, pick a color scheme and stick to it. Don’t mix dark and light colors. You’ll then be creating contrast, which adds depth and makes the space look and feel smaller and more cramped. Once you select a color scheme for paint, find bathroom tiles that are of the same tone, color, or value. If you want to contrast the tiles from the paint, do so by selecting a unique pattern or material, rather than a darker color. Adhering to a color scheme throughout the entire bathroom will make it feel more blended and less chopped up, allowing for a more visually open space.
Tile Up To The Ceiling In Your Shower
Bathroom tile is an important aspect in any bathroom renovation, and it’s one that you don’t want to forgo. Whether you use bathroom tiles as a backdrop or you do it only in your shower, you’re going to want to include tile somewhere. Not only can tiling be aesthetically pleasing, but it can provide some texture and contrast throughout the space. If you want to maximize the space in your bathroom, a good trick is to tile your shower up to the ceiling. Rather than partially tiling up the wall, use your bathroom tiles all the way to the ceiling. This expands the wall, making it feel more expansive and spacious than before.
Utilize Natural Light As Much As Possible
There is nothing better than natural light in a bathroom. Not only is this an excellent solution for opening up and expanding the limited space, but a little light from the sun is wondrous to wake up to and get reading in during your morning routine. If you are capitalize on any natural light flooding into your bathroom, change your dark window coverings to a translucent window shade. You’ll still be ensuring your privacy without blocking out any of the light. However, not every bathroom has windows. If you are unable to usher in any natural light, consider installing a skylight. Any type of natural light will do wonders for a small bathroom.
Get A Big Mirror
When you’re designing your bathroom in a way that maximizes the limited space, a good place to pay attention to is the mirrors. A big mirror can do wonders to a small bathroom, creating a more expansive, spacious, and light environment. If you can, install a mirror that extends to the ceiling, and then place lighting at the top. This simple trick will make your small bathroom grow. Plus, a large mirror is regal and oh-so-much fun.
Take Advantage Of Recessed Cabinets And Shower Walls
Many bathrooms have cabinets that are mounted on the wall. If you’re dealing with a small bathroom, the protrusion of a cabinet can take up valuable space. A good solution for this problem is to recess the cabinetry into the walls. During the renovation, carve out a space in the wall, create some shelves, and use it as storage. Not only will you be saving yourself space, you’ll be opening up the entire bathroom, while also adding a unique design element. You can even add in a recessed shelf to your shower to place shampoo and soap bottles, if you would like a more open space in there too.
