Some time ago our users asked us to share some small bathroom renovations. For this same reason, since Facades World We think it would be a good opportunity to answer your questions. So, if you are interested in today's topic, do not detach yourself from the screen because right now we are starting with this new article that comes in collaboration with our colleagues from Architecture Planet.
Small Bathroom Renovations - Difficult To Do?
It is something very common in current homes, the smallest space in the house is usually the bathroom and therefore the natural light that enters it is very scarce. It even tends to become a problem because its distribution is not the most suitable and it is difficult for us to store things within it. The bathroom should be one of the places in the house that transmits comfort and harmony. That is why today we will share some ideas of small bathrooms renovations without having to build them from scratch. They will only have to make some changes to it. Let's see…
Identify the drawbacks of small bathrooms
Before starting any renovation, what we must do and pay close attention is to identify those inconveniences that our bathroom has. An example may be that the toilets in our bathroom are too large for the space we have, in that case the ideal would be to replace them with a smaller one and thus add additional meters. Another error that we can find is having the toilet attached to the door, in these cases we could opt for a sliding door and thus optimize the dead space that a traditional door leaves us.
Small bathrooms with light tones
It will be tedious for our website subscribers to read it one more time, but we will repeat it until necessary. Let's avoid dark and strong colors, especially in environments where square meters are not abundant and we want to generate visual amplitude in it. The best option we have to choose colors is white because it will give us an aspect of luminosity and spaciousness. But if you want to go out of white because it is very traditional pastel colors can go very well to use small bathrooms.
Good lighting
The best we can do to reform our small bathroom is to take advantage of the natural light that our space has. If you have windows in the bathroom, avoid covering them with curtains or anything that makes the ventilation not correct. But many times it happens to us that the windows are not present in the bathroom, in that case what we must do is put lights in different strategic points so that the space looks more spacious and welcoming.
Recommendations to reform small bathrooms
We must pay close attention to two key elements when it comes to reform small bathrooms. One is the function of the elements and the other is their aesthetics. It is always convenient to respect the standard heights and measurements in order to achieve a more functional and comfortable bathroom. Here are the necessary measures for the bathroom:
- The sink should be at a height of approximately 80 to 90 cm.
- Mirrors should be positioned 10 to 20 inches above the sink level.
- When installing the toilet, it must be at a minimum distance of 45 cm from the nearest wall.
- If we also install a bidet in the bathroom, we must ensure that it has a minimum distance of 20 cm.
- The space that we have to allocate for a bathtub or shower is between 60 and 70 cm.
Small bathrooms without a bathtub
One of the easiest ways to gain additional meters in our bathroom is to change the bathtub for a shower tray. This solution is ideal because spaciousness is achieved at ground level. The best of all is that we should not make major reforms, since it is a simple and quick work to carry out with which we can already achieve access for the elderly.
Sliding doors to save space in small bathrooms
A great idea for reform small bathrooms and to gain additional space in it is to use sliding doors. These will give us more space and mobility within any space of the house and the bathroom is no exception. The best of sliding doors is that we should not give up space when opening or closing them and that gives us additional space to place other things such as furniture.
Using mirrors in the bathroom
One of the most used tricks in home decoration to provide a feeling of spaciousness is to use mirrors. These will make the space look larger and it is advisable to use a large one. You can even use those mirrors that occupy the entire wall as an option to make your bathroom look bigger than it really is.
