When it comes to bathrooms, planning is everything. If you think about remodeling a bathroom, you should not only consider which tiles to use. It is also necessary to think about possible increase or decrease of the room and tearing down the walls.
There are a lot of different combinations. You can opt for a basic approach or for a full-scale redesign. It is all up to you and we hope these 5 ideas will help with your choice.
- Planning the space
Sometimes, you simply have to make the necessary adjustment. Tearing down the walls and moving them is a common thing if you have a small bathroom. In fact, it is a necessary improvement. Although some people may say that this will impact other rooms, bathroom is without question one of the most important rooms in the house. It provides us necessary comfort and relaxation in our time of need and this is why we need to make it as comfortable as possible. Another thing that needs to be considered is adding windows (if you have none) or adding more of them. They are the necessary element for ventilation and reduction of mold.
- Think about the doors
Most people do not consider this but like every other door in your home, bathroom doors are opened inwards. If you have a small bathroom, this can further limit the available space. As an option, you might consider sliding doors. They are much more chic and also, they provide the necessary solution to your problem.
- Using the tiles and colors
Let’s be honest, tiles can be really expensive especially if you wish to buy high quality ones. Due to this fact, most homeowners opt to combine tiles with paint. They might run tiles up to a certain height and then, paint the rest of the room. No matter what you choose, make sure to have a nice combination of colors and designs. If there is one thing you need to ask an architect, this is the one. A lot of people think that they have a great idea only to be disappointed with the final product. Additionally, you should think about the light/dark factor. Smaller bathrooms work well with lighter colors. On the other hand, you can make any type of combination if you have a large space at your disposal.
- Use mirror as the focal point
Mirrors are commonly used as the centerpiece of any bathroom. This is only to be expected as most of the people use them to check their face as soon as they enter the room. That being said, they require special attention. Although you can skim on some other things, you definitely shouldn’t save on a mirror. Make sure to get something classy that will at the same time work well with the rest of your interior design.
- Adding your own style
As a final tip, I recommend that you try something new. Some of us prefer experimenting and giving the bathroom their own stamp. This is a great approach. By listening to your inner voice, you can create something specific. We are generally taught that bathrooms should be a finished product, similarly to kitchens, where you do not have to change anything. But, these changes are precisely the thing that makes it our own.
Generally, speaking, bathrooms allow you mix things up. There is no correct or wrong way to decorate them. If you wish, you can even add pictures, shelves, jars hanging from the walls. No matter what you choose, make sure you like it because it should create a feeling of comfort and relaxation.
