How to Better Utilize Your Bathroom Space

The bathroom is usually the smallest room in the home, but you use this small room many times every day. Everyone in your home performs dozens of tasks in the bathroom. That’s why it’s important to create a bathroom that feels larger by utilizing every square inch of space including the bathroom vanity. Here are four tips for turning your bathroom into a room everyone will love.

Choose Smaller Bathroom Fixtures

Bathtubs, showers, toilets, bathroom vanities and sinks come in many different sizes. If you have a small bathroom, you can find many options to make your space feel larger. By replacing your larger fixtures with smaller ones, you give yourself more space to maneuver around in your bathroom. For your tiny, half-bathroom, there have one piece toilets that look great and take up very little space.

Use Modern Bathroom Fixtures

With the right bathroom fixtures, your small bathroom can look much larger than it is. Modern bathroom vanities and sinks and other bathroom fixtures give your home a higher resale value, telling buyers that you invest in updating your home regularly. Fixtures like single handle chrome faucets and brushed nickel faucets are very fashionable. They’re also smaller than traditional faucets, making them just right for updating smaller bathrooms.

Use Mirrors to Make Spaces Look Larger

Mirrors reflect light, which helps to make any small space look larger. Large vanity mirrors can be arranged as decorative frames that can resemble beautiful artwork. They can also be hung to cover an entire wall of your bathroom. Choosing a wall opposite a bathroom window will allow light from the window to be reflected through the mirror. Vanity mirrors create an interesting focal point to compliment bathroom vanities.

Use Open Storage Cabinetry

Bathroom cabinets with open storage are multi-functional. You can store towels and baskets that enhance your bathroom decor. Open storage cabinetry takes up less space than closed cabinets because storage and decorations are all in one place. Also mindful of clutter when placing things on your shelves and bathroom vanities, because before you realize it things add up and can make your vanity very disorganized.
