decorology: Inspiration for small bathrooms

to all of us with a little bathroom, having less space may have lots of drawbacks. These can vary from insufficient space for storage to the feeling of being in too enclose a space to be able to relax properly in the bathtub. Those problems may not matter for some, but to others they certainly matter.

There are a variety of ways to make best use of available space in your bathrooms. One of the best small bathroom ideas, so far as storage can be involved, is to use over toilet safe-keeping. The space on the toilet is often neglected as far as either storage space or decor is concerned, and there's a wide choice of over toilet racks, cabinetry, etageres and space savers available on the market. These can be produced of wood or metal, and vary in cost, design and quality to such an extent that a lot of people will see something to their tastes and budget.

Making full use of the bathroom corners is another good small bathroom idea, although it also pertains to large bathrooms. A corner sink vanity will not only provide valuable storage space, but enhance the look of the bathroom by improving its contours. A similar visual benefit comes from the use of nook bathtubs. Other spot storage ideas include a corner bathtub caddy and place bathroom storage units.

Apart from storage area, most of us prefer to spend long periods of rest soaking in the bathtub. A feeling of spaciousness is conducive of such leisure, so feeling shut down in by a small bathroom has a poor influence on us.

There are ways of creating an illusion of space. Using a light color theme helps, especially white. You can offer relief with border tiles in another color, so that the room will not seem too frosty and clinical. Bathroom area rugs are one other way of providing comfort without adding to the feeling of enclosure.

Clever use of mirrors is another way of fabricating an illusion of extra space. This is not easy to achieve to best effect, and it will help to have expert advice upon this and also on lamps. After dark, the wrong type of lamps may make things worse, but with the right choice of lighting the area can "feel" larger than it really is. Being able to dim your lamps is also a good option to include. In the end, if the lights are very dim, you will not even observe that the bathroom is small, and then for total relaxation that is ideal.
