Bathroom Decorating Ideas - 7 Tips To Inexpensively Improve Your Bathroom

Ideas as we know are subjective. My ideal bathroom is large. I like the design that incorporates a walk in shower and sunken bath.

Once again I like lots of space. In the case where you maybe buying a new home, or just looking to spice things up a little in your own home, you maybe looking for ways to make improvements without breaking the bank.

Inspiration is close at hand due to the fact that there are many publications out there that can get your creative juices flowing.

For the purpose of this article I am going to go through some tips to help you improve your bathroom on a shoe string budget.

As I mentioned I like a roomy bathroom. With that said to knock out the walls and extend it can be expensive. So how can you make the feel of your bathroom larger without hitting up the bank manager especially considering today's market.

Number 1 - The first thing you ought to consider is the floor. Just like the walls you need to have lighter colors on the floor. Light col1C5Fors help to make small spaces look larger.

Number 2 - From the floor you can go to the walls with the same notion. Take out darker colors and replace them with lighter colors. Colors that are softer in tone are better for bathrooms. You do not want dramatic colors that scream at you the minute you walk in the door.

Number 3 - Storage is another factor that can be overlooked. When your bathroom is neat and tidy you get the feeling of space. So organize your bathroom properly, this will prevent clutter.

Number 4 - The size of your tiles can also play a role in size perception. Smaller tiles can make the room look like it is shrinking whereas larger tiles have the opposite effect. Also do not cut your tiles off halfway up the wall - if you can extend them to the ceiling.

Number 5 - In a small bathroom you may want to avoid a pedestal sink. This limits your room. A wall hanging sink again allows for more space.

Number 6 - Glass shower doors that are clear give the perception of space. Couple this with just one mirror and locate it in a way that it can receive the most light. In terms of the shower door try and make sure it is a sliding door

Number 7 - The bathroom door itself if possible ought to be a pocket door that slides into the wall. Doors that hinge open can curtail on your space.
