Tips For Small Bathroom Design

When it comes to designing a small bathroom, it is important to ensure that all the elements work well together and do not take up too much space (especially if it’s your main bathroom). Often, however, small space only leads homeowners to avoid a new bathroom design, opting instead to follow the existing layout. This doesn’t have to be the case, however, well as these small bathroom design tips:

• Use minimal mirrors
  Whilst it is true that mirrors create the illusion of space, adding too many will in fact do the opposite (by showing how small the bathroom actually is). Avoid installing mirrors opposite of each other and instead opt for clear walls. Try placing mirrors along one wall or only in the centre of one wall to see what kind of effect it creates.
• Floating furniture
  In order to save your much needed floor space, use your bathroom design to look into installing a wall mounted sink and floating cupboards. This will open up more floor space for additional useful and decorative items, such as a bin or even a plant.
• Don’t forget the door
  Homeowners with small bathroom designs tend to put way too much focus on the walls and not enough on the door. Would you believe that your bathroom door can be used for much more then entering and exiting the room? Install clothes or towel racks on the back to further conserve wall space.
• Collapsible shower screens
  Showers are prone to taking up a lot of space so, by installing a collapsible shower screen (that is foldable, sliding or even curtained) you can really open up your bathroom when the shower is not in use. In a small bathroom, it is often recommended to only have a shower and forgo the bathtub.
  
• Use light
  If you did not previously have a window included in your bathroom design, you should certainly have one added now. The addition of natural light will help to make the room feel more spacious. If your bathroom is located in the centre of your home, however, look into having a skylight installed – artificial light will not achieve the same things that natural will.

By utilizing the above tips in your small bathroom design, you can really work towards making the space feel much bigger and work much more functionally. Choose an appropriate colour scheme of neutral colours and go easy on the accessories and you will have a small bathroom design that is the envy of all who visit your home.
