subject: Small Bathroom Remodeling Tips [print this page] 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 only just. 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 design tricks that can make even the tiniest bathroom appear (and even feel bigger) while increasing their functionality as well.
Flooring Choices - Any bathroom floor needs to be as functional and practical as it is good looking. To this end ceramic tile is often the logical choice for any bathroom however big or small it is.However by installing light, neutral colored tile on the floor of a smaller bathroom you can make even the samllest of spaces appaer bigger and brighter than they really are.
Glass Shower Doors - Quite apart from the fact that they look wonderful using glass shower doors instead of a shower curtain in a smaller bathroom can literally stretch the space, at least as far as the observing eye perceives. Installing glass doors also means that you do not have to match the accessories in the bathroom to an overwhelming shower curtain pattern,freeing up new interior design possibilities.
Storage Space - Everyone has quite a lot of bathroom "stuff" and storing it effectively is crucial, especially in a smaller bathroom. There are a number of very attractive bathroom cabinet options available though these days that make storing everything a breeze while adding to the aesthetic appeal of the whole room. It is even possible to make use of previously unused space in a small bathroom with the clever addition of smaller cabinets.
Sink Options - Some people prefer to have a "display"sink in their bathroom rather than one that is hidden away in a deep counter.A pedestal sink takes up a lot of space and may not be the best choice for a bathroom with limited space but one of the many attractive counter top bathroom sinks available today provides the perfect balance between form and function.
