New Kitchens and Bathrooms

Posted on: 2 October 2017

Having a spacious master bathroom is one of the main features home buyers look for when purchasing a new residence. Nevertheless, you may find yourself having to compromise and settle for a small bathroom to make sure that your new home fit within your budget. However, this does not mean that the tiny space does not have to be attractive. A few minor renovations may not necessarily add floor space to your bathroom, but they could significantly increase the appeal of the room and make it your little haven. The following are some design tips that you could utilise to make the most of a small master bathroom.

Steer clear from cheap materials

When it comes to remodelling, some homeowners may opt for inexpensive materials in an attempt to keep their renovation costs low. This approach is the most logical if you are remodelling a large space. However, when you have a tiny master bathroom, you also get the flexibility to invest in premium materials without burning a hole in your wallet! Since there are no expansive spaces in the room, you can purchase premium materials such as marble and granite to add a touch of elegance to this room. Moreover, the high-end materials will also create visual appeal in the chamber, which would detract from the limited space. Lastly, opt for materials that will glisten when hit by light, as these will boost the amount of illumination that is in your master bathroom.

Eliminate sharp edges

Sharp corners and edges in a small bathroom is not an ideal design element. Firstly, the sharp edges will make the space appear more boxed in than it is, which would inadvertently make the room to look small. Secondly, sharp corners in a small space increase the chance of injury as you can easily bump into these edges, particularly if you are sharing the bathroom with someone else. When making bathroom renovations, opt to have all the edges curved. The rounded shape of the corners and edges would add a softer touch to your bathroom, creating the illusion of increased space. Moreover, the curved edges would also be a great safety feature in your bathroom, minimising the occurrence of accidents.

Get rid of closed shelving

Closed shelves and cabinetry are a design element in most bathrooms to ensure clean lines in a space. Nonetheless, although this may work for larger rooms, protruding closed shelving in a tiny bathroom will vastly reduce the available space. Instead, you should consider unclosed shelves or floating storage solutions. These types of storage allow you to display your bath products for easier identification. Secondly, the open shelving takes up less room as you will not have doors that swing open and shut whenever you need to take something out of storage.
