Most of the time, the space for a bathroom is very small, which makes a simple room design, a very difficult mission. How do you optimize the space in your bathroom so that it becomes a pleasant, airy and functional room? If you deal with a small bathroom and want to start the design or renovation process, we have prepared some ideas and tricks for inspiration.
Opt for light colors
Choose light colors to visually enlarge the room, preferably a combination of two neutral and bright shades (pastel yellow, green, light blue, gray). Even if it seems monotonous to have a maximum of two colors, you can enhance the space by bringing vibrant color to the bathroom through decorations – bath mat, colorful towels.
You can also opt for the same color on the walls, floor and ceiling, and for this situation white is the best choice. If you choose wall and floor tiles in the same shade, you’ll create a sense of continuity, making the space appear larger.
Play with textures
Remember: it is better to play with textures than with shades. For example, choose plain white tiles for the shower or bath area, and for the adjacent wall, opt for brick-effect tiles.
Another option is to choose mosaic instead of classic tiles. In addition to the fact that visually, the space will seem much more generous, mosaic can be installed in more difficult areas. Of course, there are other options – microcement – for a seamless bathroom, resistant over time and easy to maintain; fiberglass wallpaper.
Sanitary ware and furniture
Choose sanitary ware that suits the space – instead of a large bathtub that will take up half of your bathroom space, opt for a glass shower cabin – it will add elegance to the bathroom and visually enlarge it. Choose a corner washbasin specially designed for small bathrooms or a washbasin with a built-in cabinet.
Furniture should be chosen in the last phase of the arrangement because sanitary ware can reduce its size. Opt for suspended furniture to free up as much of the floor space as possible, a mirror cabinet and a few shelves above the toilet.
Make the most of all the available space – for example, the shower wall and the bathroom door remain unused so you can take advantage of that. All you need is an organizer with pockets or baskets that you can mount on the door or a support bar on the wall next to the shower where you can hang various baskets.
Light
A very important aspect is the bathroom’s lighting, especially if there is no window. In addition to the central lighting system, it is good to use enough spotlights near the mirror.
Choose the tips that suit your needs, adapt them to your preferences and enjoy a functional and optimized bathroom.
