subject: How To Make A Small Master Bathroom Remodel [print this page] A small master bathroom remodel can be problematic because you obviously only have a limited amount of space to work with. People who are looking to purchase a new home are often put off by cramped master bathrooms, and this is especially true for those who love to take baths or spend hours getting ready. Therefore if you are going to plan a small master bathroom remodel it is a good idea to make efficient use of the space so that you can make it appear larger than it really is.
Storage Areas
Storage areas are a very important consideration for a small master bathroom remodel. Obviously the more cabinets you have the smaller the bathroom will feel. If you could find a way of stacking your cabinets vertically this would create more space in your master bathroom. You should also consider using shelves or creating alcoves in the wall to make more storage room without decreasing the amount of space. With a small master bathroom remodel cabinets are made of a shiny reflective material such as glass are best, since they will make the room feel brighter.
Paint Colors
When completing a small master bathroom remodel you should avoid dark colors and big bold patterns. Light colors such as magnolia, delicate yellow, beige or pastel blue will open the room out, as will subtle patterns. Dark colors and bold patterns should only ever be used in a very large bathroom, because they tend to draw our focus and if the room is small this can create a very claustrophobic feeling.
Let There Be Light
With a small master bathroom remodel you need as much light as you can possibly get. There are three ways you can brighten a room. You should invest in good quality lighting and place it in strategic areas to illuminate dark spaces. If you can afford to do so, you could add a window or a sky light. Many people with smaller bathrooms find it also helps to hang a vertical wall mirror or two. Remember that the brighter and more reflective your room is, the larger it will seem.
Other Considerations
When planning a small master bathroom remodel it might be a good idea to have a shower as opposed to a tub. Shower units take up less space then bathtubs, and they are just as efficient. You should also make sure your shower, toilet and sink are fitted at the sides and corners of the room, leaving the space in the middle free for traffic.
Bathroom decorating for a larger room is always more fun because you have plenty of space to add plants, ornaments and other pretty items.
However, when choosing art and accent pieces for your small master bathroom remodel, remember that less is often more. If you have too many effects in a small space it can easily make the room seem excessively cluttered. A decorative mirror, some plush bath towels and one or two scented candles are all it takes to make a smaller bathroom look decorative.
