Many people dream of having a relaxing, beautiful, and luxurious bathroom. I am here to tell you that this dream can be possible, even in a small space! You don’t have to have a large bathroom for it to be a luxurious room that you love spending time in. Follow these three simple tips to help transform your small, mandate bathroom into the bathroom you have been dreaming about!
When remodeling a small bathroom, it is important to use materials that will last, maximize space, and choose a light and bright color palette.
This is especially true for countertops, which may be the main attraction in your humble space, so choose wisely.
Let’s take a deeper dive into the three tips for remodeling a small bathroom:
1. Use Materials that will Last
2. Maximize Space
3. Choose a Light & Bright Color Palette
1. Use Materials that Will Last
When investing in a remodel, it is important to consider all material options for your countertops. However, the most important thing to consider is if your materials will last! You don’t want to spend money on a remodel that requires repairs and replacements in the next year!
In recent years, quartz has become the most popular material for bathroom countertops because of all the advantages it can offer homeowners. Quartz is extremely durable, easy to maintain and clean, and won’t harbor moisture in your bathroom which could lead to mold and bacteria build ups. Because of all these benefits, quartz does not require maintenance or additional costs and will last you for years!
Remodels are expensive, so finding value in the materials you are using are critical! If quartz isn’t for you, granite is a fantastic alternative that you should consider. Alluring colors and fluid patterns as well as durability and longevity are just a few reasons to consider solutions such as granite.
2. Maximize Space
When it comes to making the most of a small room, maximizing the space is a crucial step. It is important to consider every square foot for storage and functionality. A vanity with cabinets and drawers is a great way to increase storage and using wall space for shelving and other racks is also beneficial to maximize space.
Even considering the type of door you have in the bathroom can help maximize space! Pocket doors or barn style sliding doors can free up the corner of the room for additional shelving or other storage. Unlike a standard door, which may swing into the bathroom, taking up much needed space behind it!
3. Choosing a Light & Bright Color Palette
Creating the illusion of a larger room can be done using the right colors! For both the walls, floors and furnishings keeping a light and neutral color palette will give the appearance of a larger room. It is best to steer clear of dark colors as that may make the room appear smaller and more closed in, which you want to avoid.
But don’t worry, if you still love color, using a pop of color can still be done in a small bathroom. But keeping the pop of color to the accents in the room like candles, towels or other décor can help you maintain the light and bright color palette.
Another way to create the illusion of a larger room is using mirrors and glass. Consider a large mirror over your vanity as the statement piece. The reflective surface of a mirror can give the illusion of a larger room through the reflected light. Using the same concept, consider a glass door for the shower instead of a curtain. Which can also reflect light, making the room seem much larger!
Light colored countertops in quartz or granite will complement any cabinet or wall color as well as bring your bathroom a most pleasing overall look.
Summary:
Don’t let the size of your bathroom prevent you from transforming the space into the luxurious and high-end bathroom of your dreams! By using materials that will last for years, like quartz for your countertops, maximizing your space with functional storage, and choosing a light and neutral color palette to give the illusion of a larger room – you will be able to transform your small bathroom into an oasis!
