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.

Choosing the right color schemes
One of the first and most simple steps you can take to spice up the look of your small bathroom 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.

Bring some nature into the mix
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.

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.

Using light colors
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.

Windows and mirrors
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.

Be creative with storage space
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.

Smaller bathtubs or toilets
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.

1. First off, set a budget. We all have fantastic and grand ideas after this initial step so it is best to keep our sights realistic by setting a budget.
2. Gather as many small bathroom photos as you can for reference and design inspiration.
3. Think of a design that you want to apply. A good idea, if your budget can afford it, might be to have your own design, then have an interior designer to consult with so you’d have one fantastic bath as an outcome. 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.
4. 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.
5. Shop! Have your contractor or your interior designer with you if possible. If not, bring a friend.
6. Coordinate with your contractor, your plumbers and electricians on when you will be doing the remodeling so you can create a very fluid schedule.

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’s also a fun way to express yourself.
