New Bathroom Furniture and Accessories Makes a Small Bath More Functional
Evaluate Your Space
The first tip is to evaluate the total size of your current bathroom. Look at the current functionality. Sometimes you'll be able to free up space by moving fixtures, adding bathroom furniture and accessories and still use your current items. Combining a mini remodel with the purchase of a few well-chosen bathroom furniture and accessories pieces, you'll feel like you've done a total remodel at a fraction of the expense.
At this point, it is very helpful to do a rough drawing of the perimeter of the room including the measurements of all four exterior walls and any inside walls that may be present. Once you have this information on paper, you can begin to look for ways to maximize the space with newer more functional bathroom furniture and accessories.
Investigate Your Options
Before you begin to make any permanent changes such as moving showers, tubs, or commodes, browse bath furniture and accessories to find ways to improve the space without have to do too much remodeling. As you're browsing, remember all aspects of the space. For example, inside the shower you can use shower caddies to store necessary items like soaps, body wash, razors, buffers, sponges and other personal care items.
Don't forget wall space. If you have empty wall space in your bathroom, adding a bath cabinet with a towel rack can provide much needed space for storing towels and grooming essentials for everyday use. You can also use the wall space to add open shelving to store regularly used items or accent pieces. These are great ways to free up vanity and counter space in small bath.
If you're really in need of larger storage, you may want to consider a bath hutch. Made very much like armories, a durable, moisture resistant bathroom hutch can provide the storage space of a full size linen closet.
Another place to add storage is over the commode. A wooden bath etaere with two upper shelves inside glass doors for easy view, and an open shelf below for frequently used items can store a wealth of items.
Just taking a bit of time to plan, measure, and shop can create a wonderfully efficient bathroom, even in the smallest space.
