Tips on small bathroom design

posted by crossteam

The fixtures you use for your bathroom design can determine how small or big the room will look. Sophisticated designs tend to take up a lot of space, so you should go for something simpler, preferably in a light colour.

The more light there is in the bathroom, the roomier it will appear. With that in mind, installing extra lighting can make a small bathroom look a whole lot larger. Adding light fixtures or making use of higher wattage bulbs can achieve this quite simply and cheaply. Adding natural light will achieve a similar result and this can be done by putting in a new window or skylight. This will, of course, involve some reconstruction work, but depending on the location of the room, it may not be too expensive.

The installation of bathroom mirrors will also add to the apparent size of the room, as they reflect artificial and natural light. Having several mirrors in a small bathroom can also add depth, since their reflective qualities make the walls look as though they are further away than they really are.

Another obvious way in which you can make extra space in your small bathroom is by cutting down on the number of items that are in there. Bathroom furniture, like storage shelves, can take a lot of space and should be removed, if possible. A good alternative home for the items that the shelves contained might be a small storage cabinet located in the hallway outside the bathroom. There are also items that can be relocated to the bedroom.

    My friend only has a little bathroom and has kept it very minimalistic, which has worked very well
