Small Bathroom Design

Compact bathrooms will present us with some layout problems, including the way to install and fit everything needed into the space available. With the rise of condo living specially in our big towns and cities, very small bathrooms are becoming more common. Space has grown to be limited and with home and property costs as much as they are it looks like compact bathroom design is really a skill in considerable demand into the future. Ultimately the space available is the space available, we cannot change that. However by applying a few design principles we can make the most of the room we have. A particular strategy to tackle the limited space available is to use small sized fittings. So simple yet it is often overlooked as a solution. A messy, dirty bathroom looks bad anyways, but the dirt and misplaced items especially stand out in a small bathroom. If you walk in the small room when its messy, your eyes are immediately drawn to the dirt, dust, and clothes all over the floor. Not only that, but it will look even smaller. Keeping your bathroom as clean as possible, will help with create both a visually appealling and a larger appearance.
The first thing is to source small compact fittings starting with the major elements that make up your room - toilet, bathtub, sink and shower. Go with compact and streamlined WCs. In today's market it is extremely easy to buy pretty sleek and stream-lined fittings that can help inside smallish spaces. This style of wc is not only useful in regard to the area saved but is normally more eco-friendly and due to the dimension of the cistern, uses much less water than the usual conventional sized WC. You may also buy types that fit right into a corner. These can look tidy and contemporary and are a good addition to the small sized bathroom. Stacks of books and papers, too many toiletries, such as deodorants, razors, toothpaste, soaps and perfumes strung out on each countertop creates a chaotic and cramped space. Try to keep these things in a cabinet, drawer, closet or other hidden area. Have a small bar or dispenser of soap or a candle out on display.
Small sink and / or vanity units are yet another good method to assist with space difficulties. Yet again neat and streamlined will be the way to go for maximum effect. Now there are modern-day options just like rice bowl basins that will add a contemporary look and at the same time be space efficient. Picking out a properly designed and sleek wall attached vanity unit could also save space or perhaps create that illusion. Part of this approach involves creating a look that is not crowded and so appears more spacious. When choosing paint, tile and wallpaper, its best to choose smaller patterns if you decide not to go with a solid color. Whether choosing a pattern or texture or a solid color, lighter colors are always better when you want to make the room look bigger. To create the illusion of a taller ceiling, paint it a lighter color than the walls.
