Making The Most Of A Small (or basement) Bathroom

In bathroom terms at least, bigger doesn't have to be better � It�s all just a case of making the most of the modest proportions you�re presented with! And what's more, designing a bathroom that�s small on space usage, but big on style and functionality, should be a lot more fun.

The Click Bathrooms guide to maximizing a modest bathroom follows three simple principles�

1 - Make it seem bigger

A great way of tackling a bathroom with limited dimensions is by creating the illusion of space. First and foremost, aim to colour your walls in lighter shades such as whites, creams and pastels, thereby avoiding the darker colors that dramatically reduce the sense of space inside a small room.

Good lighting is also a vital tool in expanding the look of your bathroom. By illuminating areas that are prone to shadows with strong directional lights you�ll find that the room opens up even further.

Finally, attempt to generate a feeling of space through the clever use of mirrors, which positioned correctly can literally make a room appear to double in size. For maximum effect, adorn the back wall of the room with one or more large mirrors, or a number of smaller mirrored tiles.

2 - Utilise hidden or difficult spaces

Time to get creative and think outside the box; can you utilize space that isn�t immediately visible? Start at the bottom by identifying any available low-level spaces - under bath storage is a great way to keep towels and toiletries out of sight for a start. If you�re struggling to free up low-level space, wall hung ceramic ware can provide vital extra ground room.

Then it�s time to target the high-level spaces � stylish hooks and hangers can effectively replace the need for bulky closets, whilst a large ladder style heated towel rail can happily accommodate all necessary towels and dressing gowns.

Don�t just give up on the difficult or unusual spaces your bathroom may present to you. Corner fitting WCs and basins can squeeze in to the tightest of spots, whilst short projection bathroom furniture and ceramic ware options should also prove equally economic with space.

3 - Get multifunctional

If space is really at a premium, try selecting bathroom fittings and fixtures that serve more than one purpose. Choosing a combined shower bath will allow you the option of relaxed bathing or rapid and refreshing showering without occupying the amount of space otherwise needed. Then there�s the dual functionality of the heated towel rail, working as both a radiator and a storage feature, or bathroom cabinets that provide shelf space, lighting and mirrors.

Finally, look to combine individual bathroom items to create harmonious multifunctional bathroom features. An inset ceramic basin can be housed on top of a short projection vanity unit to create a stylish washstand with ample low-level storage.

How to install a Basement toilet
  How to install a Basement toilet...

  Product review: Below-grade shower showers from Saniflo
  Used with the company's Sanipack for toilets, the Sanishower make possible an entire bathroom in the basement.

 

From buying my first home, to building my first home, I've had questions about things like doors, siding, windows, lumber, Air Conditioning, Duct work, Furnaces, and more.  I've also found myself looking at remodeling - kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling in particular.  I have also had lots of questions about landscaping, sprinklers, and roofing.
So, this section of the site is designed to help you with your construction and home questions, no matter what they may be.
