We’re back with another post on small bathrooms, because we’ve got some big on how to make them the best they can be. Small secondary baths can be a big boon to your home’s retail value, but only when they’re handled well – no buyer wants to walk into a musty, unkempt bathroom under the stairs. Make the most of its minimal space by making each detail count. Let’s check out these ideas for improving bathroom decor.
Minimize the Sink
The sink is one spot that’s easy to minimize, so consider downgrading to save precious space. One bonus of going small is that your sink will be cuter than any large sink!
Don’t Compromise – Compact
Just because your bathroom’s small doesn’t mean you have to give up your shower/bath combo. With careful planning towards compactness, you just might be able to include everything you want.
Model After Airplanes
If your bathroom is literally a converted closet, consider taking a lesson from airplane bathrooms in compactness. This bathroom manages to incorporate a lot of storage space despite a minuscule area – you can too!
Maintain A Decor
Above all, the secret to a great-looking small bathroom is a consistent, attentive decor. This bathroom may even be cuter for its small size – the map wall makes for a great look!
Double-Up on Space
Design your bathroom the proper way to double up on functions in a small space. In the bathroom above, a subway tile pattern was established all around in order to allow for a shower right next to the toilet. This ingenious use of space shows that you can get what you want out of your small bathroom as long as you think and plan the right way.
Do Under-the-Stairs Bathrooms Right
Under-the-stairs bathrooms don’t have to be musty, ugly places – this bathroom stands as a glowing counterexample. Notice how it uses the sloping stairs above it to its advantage through the use of ambient and task lighting. Also, the bright decor produces the illusion of a larger space, or least doesn’t make it confining the way a dark space does.
Whatever You Do, Keep the Tub!
Whatever you do, don’t get rid of the bathtub if you don’t have to! A tub is crucial for you and your guests’ enjoyment – keep it in if you can!
We wish you luck in making the most of your small bathroom – happy remodeling to you!
