How To Make The Most Of A Small Bathroom

 How To Make The Most Of A Small Bathroom

When you have a small bathroom it can sometimes be a challenge to fit everything in. However, when it comes to designing a small bathroom, there are a number of clever little tricks which can be employed which can make the space feel larger and be more usable.

You don’t have to add any more square footage, just use these simple design techniques to make your small bathroom look and feel a lot larger than it really is.

  Choose the Right Colours

When you are designing a small bathroom, look for pale, bright, soft colour schemes which will reflect light and give the impression of more space. Dark colours in a small bathroom can make it feel even more like a closet.

The walls should be white or a neutral tone and brighter and more vibrant colours can be used for towels, accessories and design accents. As well, the floor should also be done in a light colour as this will also make the room look larger.

Of course, just because your bathroom is designed in neutral colours this doesn’t mean that it has to be dull and boring. You can use an interesting blend of colours and add some vibrant details to really show off your sense of style.

  Lighten Things Up

Having the right lighting can really make a big difference in your small bathroom. Make sure that all corners of the room are lit up and perhaps consider adding lights around the mirror as well. The brighter the bathroom is, the bigger it will look and feel.

  Up on a Pedestal

One of the best solutions for a bathroom renovation on a small bathroom is to install a pedestal sink rather than a large vanity cabinet. The pedestal sink takes up far less space and will make the bathroom feel much bigger. You can install a small shelf underneath as storage space, or add storage somewhere else.

  Reflect on Things

Another great idea for your small bathroom renovation is to install a large mirror above your bathroom sink. Rather than choosing a small mirror for your small bathroom, choose the largest mirror you can possibly fit into the space, as it will reflect the room and give the impression that it is bigger. It will also help the bathroom to be lighter as it will reflect light throughout the space.

  Get Rid of the Junk

If your bathroom is cluttered with stuff that you don’t use, the already small space will feel even smaller. Go through all of your bathroom items and get rid of anything that you don’t use. Make it a priority to use up all those bath products which only have a few drops left in them and get rid of any unnecessary knick knacks and decorations.
