			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bathrooms are one of the most often used rooms in our home but when it comes to their design they are often most neglected. <a href="http://www.bathroomdesignsguide.com">designer bathrooms</a> are used as a private retreat for refreshing, relaxing, and having some private time to contemplate. If you consider your bathroom space as a place to relax and unwind you’ll be surprised with the design ideas you can come up with. Adding some mood or atmosphere to your bathroom doesn’t have to be expensive it just needs to be considered. </p>
<p>There are literally thousands of options when it comes to upgrading your “normal” bathroom into a small bathroom design getaway for you, your family members, or your guests to feel relaxed in.  With a bit of research and use of imagination you will quickly be able to transform your bathroom into another well designed room in your home or apartment. </p>
<p><strong>Choosing the right color schemes</strong><br />
One of the first and most simple steps you can take to spice up the look of your <strong>small bathroom</strong> is to consider its color scheme. Many people don’t even think about this and this can be one reason why your bathroom doesn’t seem well designed. Consider matching the colours of your decorative elements such as towels, cups, shower curtains, toilet seat covers and rugs. For example if you have a mostly white tiled bathroom, consider buying elements in one color that contrasts against the white setting. Some examples that would work well are blacks, oranges, and reds.  A quick tip is to spend some money on a nice towel set in one colour. This step alone will make a world of difference. </p>
<p><strong>Bring some nature into the mix</strong><br />
Humans are able to quickly relax when surrounded with a bit of nature. When we’re in the bathroom it’s no different. Adding plants to your small bathroom designs will really spice things up and give you that natural feeling that you are looking for. Remember when buying plants to consider which ones can survive in damp and indoor environments. Many bathrooms don’t have much natural light so focus on nice looking greens that don’t need too much sunlight. Cactuses are a great example of greenery that can do wonders to the appearance of your bathroom designs.</p>
<p>So get the thought out of your head that spicing up the look of your bathroom takes lots of time, money, and renovations. With a little bit of creativity you’d be surprised at what you can do with your existing small bathroom design.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With prices of real estate as high as they are most people are not able to afford spacious houses unless they move far into the suburbs or have deep pockets. With smaller places come smaller bathrooms. But just because you have a small bathroom doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider its design. There are a wide range of design ideas that you can apply to your small bathroom to add space, style, and character. Remember with <a href="http://www.bathroomdesignsguide.com">small bathroom design </a>the main goal you’re going after is giving the room a feeling of openness. Below are some of the elements to consider when designing your small bathroom.</p>
<p><strong>Using light colors</strong><br />
Consider using light colors for the tiling, paint, and counters – this will give the room an open feeling. Also by using light colors in your design the room will have feeling of warmth and happiness and which will add to it feeling less crowded.</p>
<p><strong>Windows and mirrors</strong><br />
If you are lucky enough to have a window or are able install one in your bathroom this will really give the room a spacious feeling through the natural light. Also with the creative use of mirrors you can give your room the illusion of more space but be careful no to overdo the use of mirrors or your design will really become tacky.</p>
<p><strong>Be creative with storage space</strong><br />
Consider using a cabinet under your sink. The space under your sink is often not being put to use and if you install a simple but stylish cabinet you will save space and also be able to store your bathroom amenities.</p>
<p><strong>Smaller bathtubs or toilets</strong><br />
These days there are many well designed space saving “slim” toilets out there so do your research. You also may want to consider only having an enclosed shower and get rid of your bathtub altogether – this will really start freeing up space. If you really feel you need a bathtub then find a tub that is deeper rather than longer. You will still be able to enjoy your bath time without taking up half the bathroom just because you have an extra long tub.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may already be happy with your <strong>small bathroom</strong> and left it the exact way it was when you bought your house years ago.

In any case, take time on choosing your design as this will be your basis, second to your budget, on what bathroom furniture, fixtures, and accessories you will be buying.</li>
<li>Decide if you will have a multi jet shower or are you a fan of long stress-relieving soaks? This is pivotal in your bathroom remodeling decision process.</li>
<li>Shop! Have your contractor or your interior designer with you if possible. If not, bring a friend.</li>
<li>Coordinate with your contractor, your plumbers and electricians on when you will be doing the remodeling so you can create a very fluid schedule.</li>
</ol>
<p>These are just some quick tips in small bathroom remodeling and design. What you need to realize most of all is you are taking time and putting effort into all of this because you should be enjoying every single minute of your bath time it&#8217;s also a fun way to express yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The problem with <a title="Small Bathroom Renovation" href="http://www.bathroomdesignsguide.com">small bathroom renovation</a> is that people are usually too scared to actually renovate or at least design them as they fear they will end up using too much space and that the accessories used will make the bathroom design feel too crowded. In some cases because the bathroom is so small people give up on it completely and don’t put any design or renovation effort into it at all!</p>
<p>Not to worry though! There are a number of <strong>small bathroom design</strong> tactics that will work well even in this small room.</p>
<p>Here are some quick small bathroom renovation tips and tricks to help you glam up this mini room.</p>
<ul>
<li>Small bathroom plans have to start with the proper tiling. White or light colors essentially give the effect that you have a wider space than you have. So stay away from dark hued tiles.</li>
<li>Instead of having a dresser, have a hanging cabinet where you can stash your towels and your wash cloths. You can use the wall above the toilet as this can really save you some much needed space.</li>
<li>Mirrors give the illusion that you have a wide space so have a big one to cover a wall’s length but do not have two mirrors facing each other as this may be too much and you’ll end up having a dance studio looking bathroom.</li>
<li>This design tip is a bit hard to control but make sure that you are using as much natural light as possible. This will really give some energy to the room and give it an open feeling.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just some quick tips for small bathroom design, decoration, and renovation but of course you should use your imagination to do up your miniature bathroom. These tips can give you the illusion that you have more space than you actually do so try and apply them to your bathroom and see how you feel – trust me they work well!</p>
