Most homes in the Hackensack, New Jersey, area have at least one bathroom that’s smaller than homeowners would like. When it comes to small bathrooms, maximizing space is key. How you plan out your small bathroom can make a world of difference in how big it looks and feels. Here are some tips and tricks if you’re looking for ways to maximize space in a small bathroom in your home.
Focus on Storage Solutions
One thing that will make any space feel small is clutter. Decluttering a small bathroom is essential for helping to make the most of the space. While some things are essential in a small bathroom—a soap dispenser, toilet paper, a hand towel, etc.—it’s important to take a minimalistic approach to accessories and decorative elements that aren’t as necessary. Decluttering your bathroom can provide more “breathing room.”
To declutter a bathroom, the right storage solutions can help. Consider a bathroom vanity with cabinets that allow you to store items out of sight, promoting a clean and spacious bathroom environment. Recessed shelving and floating shelves can also be put to good use when placed in strategic locations in the bathroom.
Consider Your Color Scheme
Color theory is also important for maximizing space in your small bathroom design. To create the illusion of more space, opt for light colors like white, soft gray, or a pastel shade for the walls. You can then use pops of color in smaller elements in the bathroom to add your personal taste.
Add Light and Mirrors
Just as choosing a lighter color can create a sense of space, so is adding brightness to the bathroom. Make sure there’s ample lighting throughout the bathroom to allow the entire space to be brightly lit. Additionally, opt for mirrors. Mirrors help light bounce around the room to promote a brighter environment, and a larger mirror can help make the bathroom look twice as big by reflecting the entire room.
Choose a Walk-in Shower
If your small bathroom has a bathing enclosure, a walk-in shower may be a better option than a traditional bathtub. Whereas the walls of a bathtub cut off the space visually and segment the bathroom into even smaller areas, a walk-in shower or roll-in shower helps keep the space open and flowing.
