Having a bigger space makes your personal time more comfy
With all these considered, it would be realised how sickly sweet it would be to have such a small space for a bathroom. But most bathrooms, however conventional the size used to be become crowded with essential stuff not only for a person but for a size of a family. That is why it is important to be innovative in terms of making small bathroom space bigger, by simply using simple and practical hacks.
If one considers doing a renovation for the purpose of extending or maximising the space of a bathroom can do easy steps to do so. This includes some simple replacement of old stuff inside the bathroom that used to take up a lot of space, and instead allocate it to smaller yet more efficient tools to serve the same purpose.
Some tips on this include for example replacing a traditional vanity cabinet with a console. It will help make a small bathroom appear larger, and owner can even choose the design of his liking and can estimate the perfect size for his space.
Another step is the attachment of multiple towel racks inside the bathroom, specifically to the inside of a bathroom door. It will essentially save space that may be allotted for other things inside the bathroom.
There can also be a choice of changing how things are organised inside the bathroom. Since being organised is a big must in a small bathroom, one can choose to add storage totes that may come as a tote basket and can accommodate one’s body essentials like shampoo and soap bottles, oral wash, toothbrush, brushes, scrubs and a lot more; very practical and beautiful indeed. It is also advisable to change the lighting of a bathroom as it can essentially make a big difference on it, like those lights that provide soft, even and adjustable illumination.
Instead of using opaque jars to hold things, it can be replaced with glass bath jars as it just looks light and airy in a small bathroom. More importantly, it can help in keeping contents free from moisture and dust. It is highly convenient to replace a bigger vanity with a smaller one as it can open the space in a small bathroom. Also, opt for one with mirror that has slim bezel so it can create a wide illusion inside the bathroom making the space look wider.
One can also decide on adding decorative lighting inside the bathroom to improve the illumination of some fixture. It is also important to use space-saving shelves like those that can hold much stuff inside, but avoid those that come in a wide size, or might as well a unit shelf that are dedicated for corners of the bathroom and will only occupy small space. It can also be a compact wall cabinet or other floating shelves as to occupy the free hanging spaces in the wall, but go with those which have glass fronts to give light effect in the bathroom.
Replacing a shower curtain with a sliding glass doors will help make a small bathroom look bigger, go with something that is frame-less and has a smooth system for quiet sliding action.
One important thing that shouldn't be forgotten is coating the walls and ceiling with fresh paint. Be careful in choosing a colour as it is essential in transforming a room, go with light neutral colour especially if the bathroom lacks sunlight.
Another hack is using stripes to create illusion in the space. Going with wide-striped wallpapers can give illusion to a wider space. Avoid these of thin stripes or busy patterns as these can make a room look and feel smaller.
From a decorating viewpoint, the bathroom provides a face up to. Ceiling, wall and floor materials and coverings should be resistant to water and can be easily cleaned. That is why the use of ceramic or glass as well as smooth plastic materials is frequent in bathrooms because of the ease it provides in cleaning.
