The bathroom is usually the busiest room in any home, and one that is frequently the target of a homeowner’s remodeling plans. Kitchens outstrip bathrooms slightly when it comes to remodeling popularity, but not by much. Undertaking a bathroom remodel is always a challenge, but that challenge doubles if the bathroom you are reworking is a little on the small side. There are however some bathroom remodeling tips that can both improve a bathroom aesthetically and functionally.
Bathroom Remodeling Tips - Maximize Your Space
Flooring
The floor in the bathroom has to be as practical as possible, but you still want it to look attractive as well. Ceramic tile is a great choice for any bathroom floor, and if you choose a light or neutral shade of tiling for a smaller bathroom, it will make space appear quite a bit larger than it really is. For those who want to create a very coordinated bathroom look, ceramic tile is as practical on the walls as it is on the floor, as well as super easy to clean.
Showers
The shower and/or bath takes up a good amount of the available square footage in a small bathroom. Clear-glass shower doors stretch space visually and free you of those rather nasty shower curtains that often end up moldy after just a few months use. Glass shower doors also give you far more design freedom, no need to match other accessories in the room to the shower curtain.
Storage
Efficient storage is essential in any bathroom, but even more so in a small bathroom where space is at a premium in the first place. These days there are some great bathroom cabinetry options available that are designed to make the most of the space in which they are installed while still looking great. Many small bathrooms actually have unused space that can be regained with the clever use of smaller cabinets.
Counter and Sink
Pedestal sinks are great but can waste precious space in a smaller bathroom. If you still want a sink that is on display rather than one built into the bathroom countertop and essentially hidden away, there are some very attractive above counter bathroom sink options available that are practically works of art in their own right.
To Summarize
Lastly, you need to have a well-set budget for your bathroom remodel project. There are many bathroom accessories to choose from without going over budget. When it comes to bathroom remodeling tips, you should consider functionality, as it will become overwhelming if you choose an extravagant design. Lastly, consider the size of your bathroom, as there are features that can help a small bathroom appear larger.
