A small bathroomA small bathroom doesn`t mean giving up comfort or luxury. First of all, well chosen bathroom appliances and their arrangement influence our feeling of comfort. A bath tub, a wash basin and a toilet- they are the standard bathroom furnishings.
Extending a small bathroomBefore furnishing our bathroom we should consider the most important bathroom functions, and eliminate those we can do without. For example, we can have a shower cabin instead of a bath tub. This way we will gain more space for putting other appliances which are important for us as well, such as a bidet or a large wash basin. It is an interesting solution to use multifunctional appliances in a small bathroom i.e. a shower with a hydro massage function. It is a good idea to use transparent shelves and a transparent shower cabin door in a small interior.Glass and inside lit bathroom cabinets give us the illusion of being less bulky and taking less space. White streamlined bathroom ceramics give the feel of space, cleanness and neatness. Installing a corner compact appliance is a good way to gain more floor space.
Light works miraclesIf there is no window in a bathroom, it is good to introduce some extra outside light ( from the hall or bedroom) by putting a glass brick wall, which will visually enlarge the space. We will achieve the same thing by using proper artificial light, which is extremely important in a small bathroom. A few spot lights with changeable current intensity will give us an illusion of depth and space.Strong lighting should be put by the wash basin and on both sides of the mirror or just above it.
