There is little that can be done about the size of a room without major renovation; this is especially true with a bathroom due to the maze of plumbing that would be involved. Saying that, there ways that a small bathroom can be remodeled so as to make it look bigger and be more functional as well. The entire process starts where most home renovation projects start; by deciding which areas are going to be attacked so that a budget can be prepared. Just because the bathroom is small does not mean that it can remodeled for very little, all bathroom remodeling in Muscatine, IA can be expensive.
The objective when modernizing a small bathroom is to take best advantage of what space there is, creating an illusion of spaciousness. Simply selecting a warm light shade for the walls and a light color floor as well as the areas around the shower stall or tub can accomplish this goal. Save the dark colors for accessory items but generally speaking, a soft, neutral color will help you accomplish your goals.
When you consider lighting, do not use recessed lights on either side of the mirror, there will never be enough light for shaving or applying makeup. Lights should be mounted above the sink or recessed into the ceiling. With lights located in these positions it makes the room appear brighter and larger and takes up no space that can be used for other things. A small bathroom can stand a large mirror, the larger the mirror the more light that is reflected, once again giving the room a look of spaciousness.
