How Do I Upgrade A Small Bathroom
Small spaces can be a hard task for remodeling and redesigning, the same goes for the bathroom. But if you want to add a little bit of something to your small and cramped bathroom, here are some bathroom remodeling ideas.
Avoid Dark Colors
Dark colors are great, but they are not a good choice of color for small spaces, especially bathrooms where there is already a cramped feeling. If you are going to select new fixtures for your bathroom, like sinks, bathtubs, shower faucets, and more, then you need to select lighter colors that will make the space look larger and give the illusion of a bigger bathroom. Light colors like beige, off-white and neutral gray will not only look very appealing in the bathroom and increase the illusion but will also match with the rest of your things.
Use Towels To Your Advantage
Since you can’t really go for darker-colored bathroom fixtures, what you can do is choose darker-colored towels and cleaning cloths for your bathroom. You can choose dark and bright colored towels because they will add a nice pop of color to the bathroom and the space will not look washed out.
You can also play around with patterns and designs and choose something which speaks with your personality. Things like towels and robes will not make your bathroom look cramped and they will add a nice touch to the entire space. You will love the end result.
Have A Cubicle
As far as showers are concerned, you can’t have a bathtub in a small and confined bathroom. It will be a huge waste of space and you will only ever use the bathtub on special occasions. Rather than wasting space on a bathtub which you will use only so much, try to get a shower cubicle installed in the bathroom.
It will keep the shower confined and it will also keep the water drained and out of the rest of the bathroom floors. You don’t have to worry about wet floors, because the space of the shower is closed off.
Smart Storage
If your space is small, then you can go for versatile and smart storage options. Use your bathroom mirror as a cabinet to store things like your soap, face wash, toothbrush, and other necessities, which are usually cluttered all over the sink. You can also make use of the drawers and storage bins under your sink to stock towels and extra things for guests. You don’t need a whole lot of space to be able to fill up everything, you need to work smartly with the available space that you have. This will make your life a lot easier.
Tall Ceilings Will Make A Difference
If you are remodeling your bathroom, then having tall ceilings will make the space look bigger. Although it will not do much with increasing the floor space, it will make the bathroom look less cramped and you can also install skylights on the ceilings so that you don’t have to worry about having windows elsewhere.
Having windows is great because you do want natural lighting in the bathroom. This will make the bathroom naturally brighter and you don’t need to fix up too many lights in the space either. So, tall ceilings with skylights are a great option to go for.
Sliding Doors
The last thing you want to do is cramp up your small bathroom with normal push and pull doors. If you have a small space and your bathroom has a shower cubicle in it, then you can easily make it more spacious by having sliding doors on the shower, rather than normal doors. This might seem over the top, but it will save you a lot of space and you will have easy access to opening and closing the shower without the fear of bumping the door into something, or worse, breaking it.
Conclusion
There you have it! You can design and remodel a small bathroom too. All you need is a little bit of creativity and you are good to go. However, getting the right bathroom remodeling contractor for your small bathroom upgrade is vital. Have a meeting/call with multiple companies before selecting any.
