Designing and Renovating Small Bathrooms with Big Personality
Just because you’re working with a smaller space doesn’t mean you cannot transform your bathroom with some serious personality. Bathroom renovations come in all shapes and sizes, and our team at Coco Design and Build Co. can help outline the best uses of space, dimensions, lighting, and other aspects to increase the utility of your home’s bathroom.
Everything begins by planning and outlining the space you do have available. Measuring everything from the width of your baseboard to the footprint of your toilet fixture ensures that our professional team can design and renovate to maximize your bathroom.
For example, utilizing vertical space in bathroom renovations is an innovative solution. Focusing on wall-mounted shelves, tall cabinets, or in-wall mirrors ensures your floor isn’t as crowded, so you have plenty of space to move around.
Creating the illusion of more space is another effective bathroom renovation strategy. We love finding unique pieces that extend space into reflective surfaces like large mirrors, transparent glass shower doors, and other strategic lighting. These add much-needed depth to the overall feeling of the space.
While we’re at it, our team will look closely at your bathroom’s various materials and colors. Items like ceramic tiles or metal hardware blend the durability of features you want to last for a long time while also enhancing the overall appearance.
When you mix color into the space, you immediately allow the bathroom’s personality to shine. Why not try a bold accent wall or pastel accessories to breathe new life into the smaller space? This adds visual interest throughout the bathroom, allowing you to richly layer the look you want.
A “must have” for your smaller bathroom renovations is to inject some custom storage. The more storage you can squirrel away into built-in niches, under-sink innovations, or over-the-toilet shelving gives you more room to hide away objects for a refined and sleek finishing look.
You always want a smaller bathroom to feel manageable. The better you can emphasize an inviting space, the more open people will feel inside. That is why we always suggest balancing desirable style and aesthetics with function and layout.
Finally, take a closer look at your available lighting. Small bathroom renovations can be much easier to achieve by combining ambient, task, focus, and accent lighting. This can enhance the dramatic effect you are shooting for while also boosting energy efficiency and light bulb longevity.
Even when you add in those custom accessories and keepsakes that infuse the space with character, you can leverage custom lighting to focus on framed artwork or other items that take the focus away from the smaller space.
