Sometimes bathrooms do not look how they should look like. Home owners do not give them full attention when it’s remodeling time. Avoid this mistake if you are planning a renovation in your home. Although it is supposed that small bathrooms ‘kill’ creativity, there’s hope for small bathroom owners.

Bathroom remodeling in Marin County can be an inspiring opportunity for people that want to develop or discover new remodeling skills. You can do some of the work by yourself or hire a reliable contractor that is interested to get your ideas to life – as much as possible – depending on the possibilities.

Select and install sanitary ware

Selecting the right size for sanitary ware is vital. In a small bathroom you cannot have an enormous whirlpool tub no matter how hard you try it. It just won’t work. Choosing the right place to install them to save space is also very important.

For small bathroom, the best solution is to set the shower cabin or the bathtub in a corner. Choose a toilet that has an ergonomic design. You can do the same with the sink if space is a big problem. To get more space you can purchase one piece toilet. This way you can install a small sized cabinet just above it.

Mirrors and cabinets

Choose cabinets that have mirrors. Mirrors are never enough in a small bathroom, because they tend to fool the eye and make the room seem larger. If you do not accustom to deposit many things in your bathroom you can decorate your bathroom with small glass shelves that look great.

Out with the old radiator

If you have an old radiator that just ‘steals’ space, replace it with a modern one or with a towel warmer. New radiators have an ergonomic design to fit in your bathroom without taking too much space.

Good lightning and a sliding door make miracles

Shiny surfaces that reflect light maximize space. That is why lightning is highly important in a bathroom – no matter the size. You always need a good lightning system in your bathroom to allow you to make up or shave. If your budget allows, change the door with a sliding one. This change will ultimately have a positive impact for your bathroom.

Design for small spaces

A small bathroom can be depressing. To avoid this, pick wisely the colors when you do a bathroom remodeling in Marin County. Light colors are the best choice no matter how sunny or cloudy it is outside. Dark colors always ‘shrink’ one room. They are a no-no for small bathroom no matter what are your favorite colors. Bathrooms are about relaxation and not getting depressed. Pastel colors are joyful and you can consider them an ally for small bathrooms.

Mirror, mirror on the… ceiling

It may sound strange, but a huge mirror on the ceiling will give the impression of an endless space if you choose a shiny surface on the floor (ceramic tiles). Although you may avoid shiny floors because of the accidents, this option is pretty attractive. You can take this idea into account if kids or older people do not use the bathroom. If you want to create the endless space trick, but you don’t want mirrors on the ceiling, place two mirrors on opposite walls and you get the same effect.

Do not overwhelm your bathroom with a lot of furniture. Less is more if you are remodeling a small bathroom in Marin County. When you do the remodeling, eliminate objects that give a claustrophobic sensation. Good luck!
