Nice Ideas For Your Small Bathroom*

There are numerous things that can go wrong with your bathroom. Problem becomes even bigger if you have limited space at your disposal. Unlike other rooms, where we can improvise in case of an accident or emergency, there is no way we can adapt to having a broken toilet bowl or a non-working bathtub.

However, small bathrooms do not pose a problem only in terms of functionality. They can also feel very stuffed, disabling passage to a user. If that wasn’t enough, there is also question of interior design. Unlike other spacious rooms, where you can experiment as much as you want, tinny bathroom are really hard to decorate.

So I’ve put together some top tips to help you make the most of your small bathroom;

Planning is everything

Like with anything else in life, planning is something that you mustn’t do wrong. Otherwise, everything else after that would be in vain. In case of small bathrooms, you have to start planning from the get go: from construction or renovation phase. Here, you have to decide what kind of items you wish to install in your bathroom and how much space they will take. Always remember that you have to be realistic; you have to adjust your plans to actual space and not the other way around. Another thing to have in mind is the way your drawers and doors would open. Make sure there is enough space to move around. In the end, you will have to use this bathroom and not just watch it.

Picking the right colours

Using the right colours is every bit as important as choosing the right hardware. While dark colours may seem very elegant, they don’t do any favours to a small bathroom. Instead of picking darker nuances, choose lighter ones. They are much better as they allow bathroom light to reflect better creating a feeling of space. Another trick which you can do is installing a window. Besides the fact that it makes your bathroom look more spacious, it is a great way to ventilate the room and prevent creation of mould.

Removing all the items that are not necessary

Most of us have a certain vision as to how our bathroom should look like and what kind of items we should store inside. If you have small space at your disposal, it is better to neglect all these preconceptions and start from scratch. First of all, have in mind that bathroom and storeroom are not the same thing. Any additional items should be put somewhere else. This also goes for towels and paper rolls, things which you prefer having nearby no matter what. If your home is based in Europe, you might have a washing machine. Unlike US, where people keep washing machines in their kitchen as well as other rooms, bathroom is default for Europeans. If you have a tinny bathroom, this is nothing more than a luxury. Lastly, you can remove all your make-up and drugs and put them some place else. Bedroom seems like a logical choice.

Try with vertical instead of horizontal solutions

There is good reason why some people prefer wearing vertical stripes. They make us look taller and slimmer. In terms of bathroom, vertical shower and vertical cupboard make the room look more spacious. So why not look into luxury shower cabins? Similarly to any other space in your house, upper regions are mostly unused. By choosing tall items, you make sure that this, previously underutilized space, becomes much more useful. Also, if you opt for solutions that have small basis, you will have much more space on the floor. This is very important because having too many things on ground level can restrict movement forcing your guests to notice lack of space.
