Bathrooms are very important in the home and their status has grown in recent times. They are amongst the most renovated rooms in the house. This is because you can instantly increase the value of our home by carrying out a simple renovation project. Even if your intentions are not to sell your house you can benefit from renovating your bathroom. In the tough economic environment we are all living in, many contractors are finding that bathroom renovations are in fact on the increase instead of declining.
If you are not lucky enough to have a master bathroom, you can still work with your small bathroom. You might think an effective small bathroom renovation project requires you to knock down walls and move plumbing, but you can achieve a lot and make your small bathroom look bigger by being creative.
Colour is a useful tool in giving the illusion of a bigger bathroom. Therefore, you should choose light paint for painting your small bathroom's walls. You can also go for patterns but make sure they are also light. Your flooring also needs to be in a light colour.
Mirrors and lighting also play an important role in making a bathroom seem bigger. Recessed lighting over the vanity mirror will have an impressive effect and illuminate the workspace. Natural light from a skylight is also essential in making the room inviting and roomy.
Also try to limit the amount of storage you have in the bathroom. Maybe only have one cabinet and nothing else. There should be nothing extra on the walls as these take up space and make the room feel packed and crowded.
Renovating a small bathroom doesn't have to mean physically making it bigger by adding extensions as you can easily create the illusion of space by being a little creative with your colour choices and lighting.
