Renovating A Small Bathroom
When it comes to making a wise investment in your home, there is no doubt that renovating the bathroom should be at the top of the list.
From a purely functional viewpoint, bathrooms are one of the hardest-working rooms in any house – essential for personal hygiene and even providing moments of calm respite during hectic days.
However, by updating key elements you can enhance both its comfort and visual appeal. When exploring bathroom renovation possibilities, there is plenty to consider before taking action on your project!
It’s often the smallest room in a home and frequently shared by multiple people. Renovating a bathroom doesn’t necessarily mean adding more space, but instead, using built-in elements smartly to make it feel more spacious.
Here are some critical things to consider when creating your small bathroom oasis.
Storage and Space Planning
Maximize every centimeter in your small bathroom with purposeful planning. Thin towers and clever cupboards can utilize tight spaces to store small items such as face cream, deodorant cans, extra soap, and razors. Also, consider floating shelves above the basin for additional storage. For modern open-feel showers, build a shower shelf inside the shower wall to store shampoo bottles and plants.
Ventilation
Good ventilation is crucial when renovating a small bathroom. Steam from hot showers can cause moldy ceilings over time. Consider easy access to a window, or install an extractor fan for proper ventilation. Additionally, mold-preventative paint is an excellent option.
Lighting
Lighting is a key factor when considering bathroom renovations. Small windows in bathrooms can limit natural light. Installing a skylight can instantly open up the space and provide an intimate view of the stars while taking an evening bath. Another option is LED lights behind floating shelves to brighten up the area.
Style
Regardless of your style, a small bathroom needs to feel spacious, welcoming, and uncluttered. Find a designated spot for every item to ensure the space remains tidy and organized.
