Everyone generally wishes that their bathrooms were a bit roomier, with more storage space, and so on. Unfortunately, this is wishful thinking, and wishful thinking doesn't really increase the size of the bathroom. So, what do most people do to deal with making bathrooms both look and feel a lot larger without doing anything to actually physically increase the space? Here are some excellent home bathroom remodeling tips.

1. Paint the walls in a light color. Pale, cool and soft colors are best for rooms that have small ceilings or tight walls. Do not opt for bright or loud colors, as these tend to make rooms look even smaller than they are. Whites, neutrals and pale pastel tones are ideal, especially for bathrooms.

2. The color of the bathroom floor should also be light. If you have dark floor and it cannot be replaced, consider covering the dark color with a lighter colored floor mat.

3. Bathroom tiles look best when they are large, because this creates a feeling of space. Your wall tiles should extend to the ceiling, and then a border should separate them from the ceiling.

4. Provide adequate storage space, because clutter makes small bathrooms appear even smaller.

5. Install sliding doors in place of hinged doors to create the feeling of more space in the room.

6. Avoid pedestal sinks because they do not offer any form of storage space. They may look cool, but in small bathrooms they are simply unsuitable.

7. Use only a single large mirror in the bathroom. It will add depth by reflecting light. One mirror is sufficient, and going overboard is simply a waste of precious space.

8. Use counter-top lamps or wall sconce lighting, skylights or large windows to light the bathroom. These lighting options add the appearance of more space and do not require much space of their own.

9. Your shower screens should be clear rather than an opaque color, because the clear screen gives a feeling of additional space. Fully frameless shower screens are preferable because they do not create any visual barriers in an already tight space.

10. Keep your bathroom as neat and clean as you can, because dirty and cluttered bathrooms tend to look even smaller than they are and this is the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish!

The joy of home ownership is realized when the realtor’s keys first open the front door and you step inside your new house with the realization that it is yours, to have and to hold, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, during hail or sunshine, flood or earthquake, and so forth.  Of course, on the heels of this high feeling comes the sudden realization that the buck stops with you: if the toilet is plugged up it is up to you to fix it, and if the roof leaks there is no landlord to... (Read More)
