Small Bathroom Design Ideas

While designing your small bathroom make sure you do not compromise the functionality of the bathroom against the bathroom decor. The bathroom should have an elegant and splendid look and it should serve all the purposes of a bathroom. Thus, small bathrooms should contain all the necessary elements of a large bathroom, but in a lesser space. A smart use of accessories, colors, tiles, etc., is the key for a successful small bathroom design at low budget. Given below are some easy implementations that can be used for making the small bathroom look bigger.

Light Colors: Colors play an important role in any home decor. For small bathrooms you should use colors that will add space. Light colors are the best colors you can have for your small bathroom. They reflect light in large amounts and hence make the bathroom look bigger. Use light colors, not just for walls but also for other bathroom accessories and flooring.

Simple Design: To avoid a cluttered look of the small bathroom, make sure you use simple bathroom design. The wallpaper patterns used for walls should have a simple design. Even the tile pattern used for flooring should have uncomplicated designs.

Tiles: To add extra space in your small bathroom, you must make use of large tiles. Large tiles require less grout and hence create a seamless look. You can use the same tiles for flooring and walls, to give an enlarged look and add extra height to the bathroom.

Bathroom Accessories: Placing the bathroom accessories at exact places is one of the most important factors that determines the space in a bathroom. For a small bathroom, one must avoid the use of unnecessary accessories. Storage facilities like vanities should be hung on walls to utilize maximum space. You can have storage cabinets under the sink to save space. Try to use closed cabinets, to give an uncluttered look to the bathroom.

Small Bathroom Design Tips

Avoid dark colors, since they shrink the size of the bathroom to a great extent. Always go for soft colors to add that extra space in your small bathroom. Good bathroom lighting always gives the impression of a larger space in a small bathroom. You can install large lighting sources over the ceiling or corners of the bathroom. You can even allow the natural light to enter into the bathroom with the help of windows. Hanging a large mirror over the sink is an excellent method to make a small bathroom look bigger. A large mirror in the bathroom will also reflect the light in all the directions, aiding the larger look. Make use of a hung toilet to save the space in the bathroom. If you want to have both shower and tub in your bathroom, then go for a unit that works for both these bathroom accessories. Avoid use of towel rods and install hooks behind the bathroom door.
