The bathroom in the house is a special place. It's nice to relax in the jacuzzi, and after a serving of bubbles lie on the couch. But for many, luxury apartments for taking water procedures will remain a dream - in urban apartments, as a rule, the bathroom is small. What to do? It’s definitely not worth it to grieve over the lack of meters. It is better to direct efforts to ensure that your small bathroom becomes beautiful and as comfortable as possible.
Global change
If possible, you can combine the toilet and the bathroom by removing the partition. This way you get a little more coveted space. You can replace the standard bathtub with a modern shower. This will not only allow you to win extra meters, but also save money on subsequent water bills. And hydromassage will be another nice bonus.
If you don’t want to tear down the walls, and the booth is not an option for those who like to splash, take advantage of some tricks that make the small bathroom bigger, at least visually.
Light and color
It is known that light colors reflect light and are able to "push" the space. Light paint or tile, and it is better to choose a tile of large sizes, will visually increase the room. Good airy, smoky, matte shades. The effect will increase if the floor is light, and the doors and cabinets are matched to the tone, or their color is slightly lighter (darker) than the walls. Tiling on the floor laid diagonally is another secret to visually increasing space. So that a small bathroom, decorated in a single color, does not look boring, diversify it with bright stylish accessories. And remember: the more light in the room, the more it seems. Several additional light sources above the washbasin, near the mirror or above the bathroom itself will visually enlarge the room. It is important that the fixtures fit the overall style.
Mirror and glass surfaces will help to more effectively use the properties of light. A large mirror, as you know, is able to "push" any wall. And if you hang mirrors opposite each other, you can even get the illusion of infinite space. Use, as an option, several narrow mirrors in a row. The best place is above the bathtub or sink.
Compact furniture
Use small plumbing and the right furniture, the choice is huge now. Angular washbasin, built-in cupboards of individual sizes, L-shaped rack - a great solution if you have a small bathroom. For useful little things, build an open shelf, placing it almost under the ceiling, so as not to “eat” the right space. It is better if furniture and plumbing are from the same collection - this will bring additional harmony.
The room should be in order, especially if it is a small bathroom. The design and placement of furniture can be thought out to the smallest detail, but scattered shampoos, combs and crumpled towels will spoil the look and nullify all your efforts. Leave the necessary minimum in sight, everything else is better to remove.
As you can see, there are many ways to make the bathroom a place where it is nice to wash and relax in a comfortable environment. Due attention and love for your home will help to hide its shortcomings and emphasize the merits.
