If your home includes even one small bathroom, how well it’s designed is critical for two reasons. You have less room to accommodate everyone who uses it… and…a small bathroom is where simple materials and fixtures have a chance to really stand out.
In previous articles, we’ve mentioned how your cabinetry has the most impact on a bathroom’s overall appearance. For example, bold colors or the hardware you choose for doors and drawers set the style and tone for the entire room.
Whether your cabinetry is beneath the vanity or stands alone, how well it’s designed often comes down to inches… and it’s where you want to make the most out of every inch you have.
In a small bathroom, a vanity with cabinets has some wasted area to make space for the sink. Customized vanities can have a small, shallow drawer for little items like makeup. Or go with an above the counter sink to make more room underneath.
Custom cabinets are also good for hiding plumbing that may not be movable.
Mounted cabinets, either beneath the vanity or on their own, make any bathroom more contemporary. To enhance the look, use a high-gloss car finish that can be waxed or buffed out if it gets scratched.
Since white and light colors are highly recommended for small spaces, be a little more daring with bold cabinet colors. This way you create contrast and make a statement.
When it comes to overall home design, small bathrooms tend to be overlooked. Yet depending on where they’re located, they are often one of the busiest rooms in the house.
