The bathroom is supposed to be your personal sanctuary, a place where you can relax and be at ease. However, creating a relaxing environment can be tricky when you have limited floor space. Updating a few bathroom features can have a big impact on the look and feel of your bathroom.
Bathroom Tiles
If you’re aiming for a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere, stone tiles are a smart choice. For a bit of contrast, you can incorporate porcelain tiles, which add a sense of sophistication to any bathroom.
Cabinets & Shelves
Remember that cozy is different from cramped. You’ll have a hard time de-stressing in a bathroom filled with clutter. If your bathroom is looking a bit messy, you might want to consider adding bathroom shelves.
Open bathroom shelves have become more popular lately. They look great in large and small spaces, so they’re worth a try if you’re looking to freshen up your bathroom’s design. To increase storage functionality and add a homey feel to open shelves, you can display neatly rolled towels and washcloths.
If you prefer to hide your towels and other bathroom accessories, there’s nothing wrong with sticking with traditional cabinets. However, you might want to update their design or change the texture of the cabinet material through cabinet refinishing.
Lighting
Natural sunlight can give the illusion of a larger, airier floor space and brighten the mood in a room to create a warm, inviting space.
The Right Color Palette
Keep in mind that lighting can also affect how your bathroom’s color scheme is perceived. Remember: black is the absence of any color, while white is composed of the entire spectrum of colors. Warm colors give the illusion of a smaller, more intimate space while cool colors do the opposite: they make a small space look and feel larger.
Most designers recommend including cool colors and neutral tones in your bathroom’s color palette to soften warm colors and bridge shades and tones on opposite ends of the color spectrum. Balancing warm, cool and neutral colors can be tricky, so consult the bathroom remodeling contractors at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park.
