4 Tips To Increase The Space Of Your Small Bathroom
Increase The Storage Space
Most people think that the best way to increase storage in their bathroom is to use a large cabinet. However, instead of stuffing your towels or toilet paper in a cabinet, have an open shelf. An open shelf will give warmth to the space and reduce the unwanted big pieces that would end up taking more space than you may have to spare. Other options include:
- Stack floating shelves offer a fashionable storage option
- Colorful storage ladders present the space some personality
- Sink skirts help add some flair to the room while also hiding your cleaning products
- Wooden crates allow for accessible storage, whether they are put on the ground, drilled into the wall or be stacked
Offer Functionality
When it comes to small bathrooms, you want to have some functionality to it. Small rooms often have unwanted clutter. Whatever design element you add, you want to be sure it’s functional and not adding to the clutter. Avoid items that don’t have a purpose in the room – knick-knacks, etc.
- Put cotton balls and swabs in glass jars
- Place a hamper underneath the sink
- Reduce the counter space by putting your personal products up – don’t leave them out for display
- Use stackable baskets under the cabinets and above washer/dryer appliances
Come Up With Neutral Colors
When you’re ready to paint your bathroom, you need to plan out the color palette. This can take a little time. However, you want colors that make the bathroom your sanctuary and looks good. Go for neutral colors to ensure this happens.
