Many home owners want to renovate their bathrooms to make them larger or to give them a more comfortable feel. It’s not just for huge bathrooms anymore. It is entirely possible to remodel a smaller bathroom, without tearing out all the plumbing and fixtures. Read on to find a few simple and easy tips on bathroom design.
Most people have small bathrooms, and what they use them for is very specific. Smaller baths are more intimate by nature, but most don’t use them as a place to unwind. Most baths are strictly utilitarian, designed with a minimum of “fluff” and a maximum of efficiency.
Most design principles that work in the rest of the home will work here, too. Reduce clutter and add style by replacing your vanity with a smaller, more stylish countertop and a pedestal sink.
Try getting rid of the larger things like vanities and open countertops, and replace them with smaller stuff like a pedestal sink. Some don’t have the means to expand their bathrooms, but for those there are various design options and tricks to make that normally cramped space feel more airy.
Use vertical lines to add height. Maybe use bathroom tiles that go from ceiling to floor, or pick striped wallpaper.Create visual depth by adding some type of border at the top of your walls, closest to the ceiling. Mirrors can add the illusion of size because of their reflective properties. Use lighting in conjunction with the mirrors- perhaps put a fixture or two above your bathroom mirror.
Painting walls in a neutral shade like gray or white will make the room seem more open. Also, you can add the illusion of height by choosing wallpaper that’s vertically striped or you can arrange tiles from ceiling to floor. Adding a border at the top of the walls will draw the eye upward and make the room seem taller.
As we said, bathroom restyling doesn’t have to be tedious and expensive. Using the few simple tips and tricks provided here, you can update the look of your bathrooms and make them a more welcoming, inviting place to be.
