THINKING BIG WHEN YOU HAVE A SMALL BATHROOM

Do you have little spaces and BIG ideas? You’re
not alone. Here’s how to maximize every inch of space
in a small bathroom—turning it into an oasis all its own.

If you’re not quite ready for a wrecking crew but want to make
your small bathroom appear bigger, try these tips and tricks for upsizing your space:

1.    Use light, airy colors to open it up. Save dark colors for larger rooms.

2.    Paint the door the same color as the walls, and add mirrors to create the illusion of depth.

3.    Consider a slim shower stall to replace a bulky tub.

4.    New tile can enhance the aesthetics of any room. Talk to your home center professional or trusted contractor to see the wide variety of beautiful textures and colors available today.

5.    Clear out the clutter! A small space is no place for knickknacks and trinkets. One or two small, warm additions will pop much more than a menagerie of dust collectors.

6.    Replace oversized cabinetry or outdated furniture with simple, sleek designs that provide needed storage without overwhelming your space.

7.    Crown molding painted the same color as the ceiling adds size and depth to your ceiling.

8.    Consider a pedestal sink to replace a bulky, outdated one. You will immediately open up much-coveted floor space.

9.    Speaking of flooring, light colors work best here, too. Cool tiles, a light, natural wood or even a neutral vinyl will add a fresh look to an old room.

10.  Light the way with new fixtures. If you choose a light, neutral color palette for the rest of the bathroom, this might be just the key to adding a splash of accent color and bright light. Many older homes and small bathrooms have limited lighting, which can add to that cramped feeling. Let the light in with beautiful new fixtures!
