subject: Here Are Some Handy Bath Redecorating Strategies For The Next Project [print this page] In the average American home the bathroom is usually the busiest room in the house. It is also one of the most frequent targets of a remodel. In fact only kitchens get more makeovers than bathrooms in the US each year. Remodeling any bathroom can be quite challenging but this especially true of a smaller bathroom. However there a few aspects of basic bathroom design that if done correctly can make even the most cramped of bathroom spaces look and feel bigger as well as function more efficiently.
Floors - A bathroom floor should be as practical as it is attractive. Ceramic tile flooring is a great choice for any bathroom but choosing a lighter or neutral color to have installed in a smaller bathroom can make the space feel larger than it really is. Ceramic tile is also a great way to create a very coordinated look since it can of course be installed on the wall as easily as it can on the floor.
Shower Doors - Any shower, or bath and shower combination occupies quite a lot of the available space in a small bathroom. Replacing that grungy old shower curtain with clear glass shower doors serves to "visually stretch" the space. Glass shower doors also free up a whole new realm of bathroom design possibilities since there is no need to match the rest of the bathroom's accessories with the pattern of the shower curtain.
Efficient Storage - With the amount of bathroom "stuff" the average person has it is very important that everyone in the house has a place to store it all without cluttering up an already small bathroom. Fortunately there are a number of clever and attractive bathroom cabinetry options available that can be used to make the most of every spare inch of small bathroom storage space.
Sinks - Pedestal sinks are great but can waste precious space in a smaller bathroom. If you still want a sink that is on display rather than one built into the bathroom counter top and essentially hidden away there are some very attractive above counter bathroom sink options available that are practically works of art in their own right.
