We might all like to have a large bathroom, but that is not usually possible, so what are the choices?
1. Extend into some other existing space such as a wardrobe or utilize space through another room that we really feel we can sacrifice.
2. Change the space that we have to allow it to be more functional and sense more spacious.
3. Stay with what we have, and re-think how we use the existing area.
In my case, I used the first two of these alternatives. I bought a vintage house along with two bathrooms, both small, and because I thought it had "possibilities". One bath was small and served only like a powder room. The other had been small and narrow and became among my worst nightmares.
The answer was to both expand as well as rearrange. Fortunately, I had a few spaces behind this shower that was an extension of the kitchen area that did little more compared to serve as an unsightly catchall.
This particular bath was not only smaller than average but narrow. The counter and shower were positioned opposite of one another within the longer walls, leaving sufficient space to walk with regards to. My solution after thumping out the wall at the end of your kitchen was to move the bath to the short wall by the end so that when the vanity was at use there was more than just the narrow walk through. This specific small addition and different set up made all the difference.
Sometimes, relocating fixtures even in the same room can bring a much more workable agreement, just as moving furniture in your family room can make a more pleasing and also functional situation. If you have a little bathroom space, and no wish of enlarging it, acquire a floor plan, Basin Design and attempt different arrangements to see if you will get a more functional and satisfying situation by rearranging the actual fixtures.
If this doesn't work there is certainly plan #3 which is remodeling what you have.
1. Utilize light colors and strengthen on tone to make your own bath seem roomier.
2. Determine what are should have in your bathroom every day. Store items that are less commonly used in other space like a linen closet. Use storage containers and arrange these items to allow them to be neatly stored and simply accessed when they are needed.
3. A tub/Shower Panels combination can perform double duty when the place is at a premium.
4. Set up sliding glass doors rather than using a shower curtain. This can spread more light and provide a more spacious feel. Tub areas with hinged doors get too much space in a small bathtub. If you just have to have some additional warmth, use a valance over a top of the door. This will be higher and draw the eye up rather than have them place the lack of floor space.
5. Only use a valance over any kind of windows or something easy like a bamboo shade that needs less visual space.
six. Light colored cabinetry can help just as other light areas. Cabinetry, walls, and flooring in lighter tones will certainly add visual space.
seven. Try to avoid open storage. Racks and cabinetry that are protected present a more unified living space and will help the eye in order to glide over the room.
eight. Avoid small displays associated with decorative items. A small bathroom is not the place for that valued collection of fancy little fragrance bottles. If you have open shelves, store larger like products on them. For example, Stack folded the same color towels with an open shelf. The sight will just travel throughout them and see them as you think.
9. Use hand towel rings for hanging bath towels rather than large towel pubs.
10. Expose as a couple of items as possible on your countertop, to give a less messy feel in a small bath. A few medicine cabinets are heavy enough to house curling irons, strike dryers etc.
And finally. Don't hang towels or even robes on the back of the toilet door. Bulky items that protrude can eat up a lot of visible space.
