Small Bathroom Makeovers

Small bathroom makeovers can include replacement of dated bathroom fixtures. It is recommended that you replace your old fixtures with new ones that take up as little space as possible. For instance, your combination sink and cabinet fixture could be replaced by a single pedestal sink. Your bathtub could be replaced with a simple shower stall that is much smaller and does the same job. When you choose smaller replacements, you make your bathroom more spacious. The small bathroom makeover creates a bigger impact and better accomplishes the remodel goals, such as making the bathroom more useful.

Another makeover item in your small bathroom is your bathroom flooring. As a rule of thumb, when doing small bathrooms, you should always pick the light-colored and natural tinted floor tiles to keep the room looking spacious. You should also pick the matte or vitrified floor tiles over the smooth and glossy ones, so as to avoid the incidence of slippage inside the bathroom.

The next thing to consider is choosing the appropriate colors to beautify your small bathroom. While light colors give a larger effect in a small bathroom, you can choose practically any color to suit your taste. You can even maintain light and cool colors for your flooring and ceiling and play around with other matching colors for your walls and woodworks. As an alternate, painting in a single neutral wall color one can accessorize in color. As the seasons change or as your tastes change over time you can introduce new accessory items and colors to fit new design trends or changes in you personal color preferences.

Part of any small bathroom makeovers is planning for storage spaces. There are of course different choices in creating storage spaces in your bathroom, such as wall hung shelves and partitions, cabinets, baskets and hampers. It is important to know where exactly where you will position your storage accessories to keep them within easy reach while at the same time conserving much needed space.

Finally do include accessorizing as part of your small bathroom makeover. Installing a vanity mirror perhaps would enhance and enlarge the space. Making use of an accent rug, a picture frame, a piece of artwork, new window blind or a decorative plant or fern, would all serve as accessories and lighten up your small bathroom.
