Hello World! Welcome Friends! Having a big bathroom with a fancy corner bath and shower, double sinks (one for her and one for him), fluffy huge rug in the center and a chair just because you can. Is all well and good, but in most households we have a small to medium bathroom that is crying out for a bit of elegance and beauty.
If you are wondering how to make your small bathroom look that extra bit elegant, then fear not, as no matter the size of your compact bathroom it can be made to look enviable with a few tricks and bathroom TLC know-how.
Making Use of the Space you Have
If you don’t have a space tall enough for a shower in your bathroom opt for a freestanding bathtub for two with a bath shower mixer tap. It not only looks elegant having a fancy freestanding bathtub, but it also creates space above for in-built shelves to place your toiletries and towels.
Sinks and toilets can also be a bit bulky and take up a big portion of your small bathroom. Using a sink basin rather than a bulky vanity and a wall hung toilet pan can really add that modern luxury washroom feeling.
Most bathrooms come with doors opening inwards or outwards and can interrupt certain features if your bathroom is small. For not much extra cost you can install a sliding door which will give you more space and accessibility while accompanying the bathrooms elegant style.
Giving your Bathroom a Contemporary Lift
- Forget the usual tiles and paint. Try adding wood into your bathroom as it will give it that homely yet elegant feeling. Using a wooden countertop and/or wooden bathroom tiles on the wall.
- Living plants make bathrooms more pleasant whilst improving the decor and air quality. The bathroom environment is not perfect all the time, and not all plants are well suited for the conditions found in a bathroom. Consider using Ferns, orchids and spider plants amongst others that are suited for bathrooms.
- Mirrors, they come in all shapes and sizes. The right mirror can contribute a sense of spaciousness, enhance natural light and say a lot about the style of your bathroom. Consider framed mirrors or illuminated ones if you are looking for a stylish look. The size of the mirror should not exceed the size of the sink basin by a lot otherwise it could overpower the room.
- If your bathroom has small windows and has the option for a skylight, adding extra natural light is key for making a small space look bigger when windows are not enough.
Inexpensive Ideas for your Bathroom Accessories
Adding all those bathroom accessories into your tiny bathroom such as hair dryers, hair straighteners, shavers, towels, beauty products and even the odd washing machine can seem impossible.
Using above the shoulder shelves or racks for your towels is a great trick to make extra room. If you’re putting a washing machine in your bathroom and want to make use of the space above, try fitting long shelves above the washing machine to keep all your beauty products and hair dryers together. You can also use the shelves above for your plants and even a small wash basket for your dirty clothes.
There are many ways to make a small bathroom more elegant and spacious. Even the slightest amount of creativity and imagination can help to change a usually bare, cold space into a luxurious personal retreat. Elegance and luxury are not hard to achieve with all the products available online for today’s new bathrooms.
The key points for creating an elegant but small bathroom are choosing the right colors that will make it light and clean (use soft, neutral colors), being creative in the way you store things so that your toiletries are not insightful and looking cluttered, flowers add warmth and improve the air.
For a really elegant look, have the mirrors in your bathroom framed in gold or silver leaf frames. Both artificial light and natural light will be reflected and the room will be brighter.
