Bathrooms are the most remodeled spaces among homes, even more so than kitchens. Bathrooms are smaller than kitchens, so you might do the process faster. Additionally, because there is less paint, countertop, and carpeting in this smaller room, expenses are reduced.
By using these pointers, you can ensure that your bathroom redesign goes easily, swiftly, and economically, all while adding appeal.
When space is limited, build inside rather than outside.
Built-ins, such as toilet paper holders, medicine cabinets, and recessed soap dishes, make the most of the available space in tiny bathrooms. Better still, you can flatten your ceiling light by turning it into a recessed light. Include more storage space in the wall construction.
Every bathroom is required by law to have some sort of ventilation, such as a bathroom exhaust fan or a window of certain size.
Take into account both the exhaust capacity (or the amount of cubic feet of air that the fan can move per minute) and noise levels when assessing bathroom fans. Because of its small size, even a moderately noisy bathroom fan could be excessively loud in a restroom.
Bathroom plants are not something you should put off. Plants provide the much-needed color that toilets are lacking.
Consider adding a floating shelf to provide your trailing plants with a cozy place to live.
Solid wood floors give bathrooms a lot of character, but practically speaking, they are not the best type of flooring for bathrooms.
Instead, go for resilient bathroom flooring that can handle frequent use. Vinyl tiles, luxury vinyl planks, and ceramic and porcelain tiles are popular choices for bathroom flooring.
If you want to create the impression that a small bathroom is larger, make sure your color scheme stays in the white or light color range.
Dark colors make a space appear smaller and more constrained. Make use of white or light-colored fixtures (such as the bathtub and toilet). Any color other than white or off-white should never be painted on the ceiling of your bathroom since this tends to make the area appear even smaller.
A room where people have to use their eyes to look at their faces and hair usually has very low lighting from a single ceiling fixture.
Consider adding sconce lighting around the bathroom mirror, at the very least. But bright light isn't necessarily what you want.
If there is room, many interior designers suggest having one stand-alone piece in your home, like a chic chair or cabinet.
To make up for the lost space, you can move the hamper to a different location or stash other helpful objects like laundry hampers. Naturally, this decorative item can also be utilized in a functional sense as a place to store little objects like soaps, towels, and other items.
Hooks are the easiest way to add more surface area to a bathroom without having to construct a countertop. Hanging clothes, bathrobes, and towels from hooks is an option. Install hooks on bare walls, the side of cupboards, or the interior of doors.
When most people think of bathrooms, they usually just think about using the mirrors for hair or makeup.
Mirrors in bathrooms, however, should also be viewed as decorative embellishments that visually extend and brighten the area. Many homeowners prefer to use mirrors other than the large mirror that is situated above the bathroom sink.
In small bathrooms, use wall-length, large-format mirrors.
