Is your small bathroom’s layout accessible and convenient? Check how much available floor space you have and determine if it is adequate enough for you to do typical bathroom activities. There may be some furniture, fixtures and items that stick out on pathways reducing functionality. Determine how much more floor space you can save by adding counter space and how much more counter space you can save by adding storage space.
What problems need to be fixed? Look for signs of deterioration or damage in fixtures, the floor, walls and other items. Cracks, peeled paint, chips, grout deterioration, broken tiles and dimming lights need to be replaced or retouched to improve the overall appearance of your bathroom. Remember that the bathroom is usually moister and humid compared to other parts of the house so it is ideal to consider how these elements can make materials more susceptible to damage.
Are there possible cosmetic changes to be made to expand the small size of the bathroom? Look for items and features that seem to dwarf your small bathroom. You can get rid of clutter by taking them out or storing in cabinets and shelves when not in use. Some fixtures and decorations may be too large which make the room seem smaller. The color of the room may also be affecting how the eyes perceive its size and might need to be changed.
What Works for You?
There is no universal method or layout that applies to all small bathrooms. You should know how to renovate according to your bathrooms needs as well as considering the structures and features already existing. It may cost you more to tear down walls, rip up tile flooring and break down walls to increase window size. There may be alternate cheaper ways such as replacing or rearranging. Your renovation may simply involve replacing the small sink with a big pedestal model. You can add mirrors and lights into the room to make it look bigger. You may also take out fixtures to free up more space such as the bathtub and large decorative plants. All changes to be made should depend on what you have and what works best for you and your budget.
If you have extra cash, you might want to hire an expert for consultation or a professional to do the heavy work for you. Try to do most of the smaller tasks yourself since this can save costs allowing you to afford other aesthetic additions and features in the small bathroom. Before you start renovating, make sure that you have an approved layout as well as a set budget. It is advised to provide some extra amount for emergency purposes as the renovation is going on. Prioritize the changes to be made as well so that if you suddenly run out of funds, at least the big tasks are already done and you can put off the minor details for another day.
