Bathroom Remodeling:
Enlarging Your Bathroom

By Ben Shabat

Enlarging a bathroom doesn't necessarily mean you have to break down the walls and enlarge the room. You can redesign and remodel your bathroom without breaking any walls and still create a larger space feeling.

Utilizing packing efficiency, virtual openness, and style, most remodeling companies can overcome the challenge and maximize floor area and at the same time accommodate plumbing necessities such as tub, shower, sink, and toilet.

Planning and Design

Even the first steps of a bathroom remodeling, whether it is a single project or a complete house remodeling project, are important for the outcome you expect. The basic technique to create a feeling of space is to blur the boundaries between major fixtures.

To achieve this effect, home improvement companies repeat color and texture schemes in order to visually unify a bathroom and make it seem larger. This technique makes all fixtures be distinguished and will they will look like a one consistent fixture rather than few separate ones.

Use White

The white color will serve your goal perfectly as white tends to brighten the space and serves as a neutral backdrop for color from other decorative items in your bathroom. In addition, white is a "safe" design approach.

Mirrors

Mirrors are great for providing a large space sensation. It sometimes creates the illusion that the space is twice as big. To maximize the effect, install frameless mirrors from countertop or backsplash to ceiling and connect them in corners.

Glass

Use transparent glass shower and bath doors. The see-through element makes it possible to see the real boundaries of the room instead of boundaries, determined by fixtures and that makes the room look smaller.

Sink

Choosing a Pedestal sink can help you achieve your space requirements. Home improvement companies often use them when required to create more space because they rise on slender columns that sit close to the wall and don't require an enclosed base.

The lack of an enclosed base leaves more room for visible floor and the more floor you see, the larger a space seems.
