Having a huge spacious bathroom that we can relax and recharge in is a dream for most Perth residents, but in most cases, the typical city flat space is quite limited, and there go your dreams, run over by reality and the real square footage you have to play with in your tiny bathroom.
Does this dilemma sound familiar to you? Do not worry, here are some good news: just following a couple of simple tips and selecting items and solutions that were made specifically for small areas, you will be able to create your personal “oasis”, even if your bathroom is tiny.
Renovating your bathroom will increase the overall value of your house as well as your comfort. It will be functional and practical while being relaxing with a touch of style.
Take a look at some of the tips for small bathroom renovations below:
1. Make use of natural light
Take advantage of natural light where possible since it is the best kind of light to make the bathroom look bigger and feel more relaxing. Because of this don’t cover the windows or shutters with Venetian blinds or heavy curtains. If you use Venetian blinds, go with ones that are pale colours either white or cream that lets natural light in while screening out the outside. Choose white artificial lighting instead of yellow since yellow lighting makes the area feel smaller.
2. Pick the best-suited wash basin and sanitary fittings
Selecting the correct sanitary fittings will save you precious inches. Choose compact models that are wall mounted to minimize their total size whenever possible. Wall mounted wash basins give you more space underneath to install a cabinet or shelves. Our new Mia collection of wash basins includes storage shelves inside those same areas as the wash basin. This area can be practically used for storing extra toiletries.
3. Carefully choose the colours and bathroom tiles
For the wall and floor tiles, go with pastel colours and pale hues. It is important to keep uniform colour shades where possible, namely between the walls and floor and also between the ceiling and walls. Don’t overuse contrast. By using this tip, you will expand the area visibly, getting rid of intersecting planes, which otherwise will make it look smaller.
