subject: 15 Big Ideas For Small Bathroom Remodeling For Australians [print this page] Carrying out a remodeling or design for a small bathroom is quite often a bit of a headache due to the space considerations involved. The lack of space means that you more often than not have to omit certain aspects of your design. However there is a solution, follow the below set out ideas and your bathroom remodeling will be much improved despite the small size.
1.Color Scheme: Lighter colors create the illusion of space, therefore choose very light colors for your bathroom and even lighter colors for the ceiling
2.Natural Light: As much as possible allow natural light into the bathroom, this also serves to give the illusion e.g. space. It is especially effective if the bathroom has a glass ceiling such that the sun shines into the shower.
3.Think Depth Rather Than Length: When lateral space is at a premium, vertical space is a good resort, e.g. when choosing a bathtub consider getting one that's not very wide but is quite deep
4.Corner Utilization: Placement of items around corners is a very delicate operation with varying space ramifications, e.g. a tub placed in a corner will consume more space than one not in a corner
5.Avoid Clutter: Remove any unnecessary items from the bathroom, an untidy bathroom looks messy and hence smaller
6.Sliding Doors: Sliding doors eliminate the swing area required by conventional doors. Sliding doors can especially be seen to be effective in the case of door which open inwards into the bathroom
7.Center Piece: Have a focal piece in the bathroom, preferably the sink, having a single focal point draws people's attention to it thereby creating the illusion of space
8.Clever Surfaces: Light colored and cleverly placed surfaces make a room appear larger than it actually is, when combined with clever lighting, the effect created can be simply astounding
9.Built In Storage: Standing separate shelves can increase the clutter in a room and make it shrink, consider going for in built storage which though more expensive more than makes up for it in aesthetic value
10.Eliminate Protrusions: Protrusions tend to stick out and appear as though they are crowding a person in the bathroom, as such any jutting out shelves, protruding racks should be minimized or removed altogether
11.Mirrors: Mirrors can be an excellent optical illusion especially when placed opposite each other, the reflection creates an appearance of infinite space
12.Organizing Accessories: Necessary items in the bathroom must be organized systematically and where possible symmetrically to avoid that cluttered look and feel
13.Bath Mats: Bath mats where applicable must be brightly colored; their placement also matters since it has to align with the general layout of the room.
14.Reflective Surfaces: Reflective counter tops, racks, faucets and the like function in the same way as mirrors. By reflecting light they aid in the creation of a spacious look and feel
15.Be Smart: Use your common sense, make considerations as to the overall room when making purchases, ensure that the coordination matches and that they all work together toward the greater aim of creating an optical illusion.
