Small bathroom? Here are some tricks to enlarge it without demo.

Do you have big ideas for your small bathroom renovation? There is absolutely nothing wrong with that!

Here are some thoughts about making your small bathroom seem bigger without calling in the demolition crew. Instead of using the traditional style mirrors get custom mirrors that reach all the way to the ceiling. The color of your bathroom can play a big factor in how big or small it can look. Dark colors should only be used for larger rooms. Another trick is to paint the doors the same color as the walls.

The key factor is the less you have in a small area the bigger it will seem. In redesigning the small bathroom take time and make a conscious effort to de-clutter it will go a long way in opening up the bathroom. This is another great time to evaluate the size of any furniture you have in the bathroom. How many cabinets to you really need? is there to much storage? can the storage be moved to create more space? can the toilet be moved to enhance the bathrooms size?

During your small bathroom renovation, you"ll be looking for more creative and less bulky ways to store your bathroom items. Like space saver cabinets such as the ones that stand over the toilet make great storage areas for toiletries and towels. Shelving and hanging items will keep things out of the way as well. A blank wall is great for shelving and even small cabinets or bins.
There are other ways to get great results during a small bathroom renovation. If you do not use your bathtub consider removing it and adding a slim shower stall instead. Make your ceilings look larger by putting up crown molding and be sure to paint it the same color as your ceiling for the effect to work.
