One good thing about a tiny bathroom is that the cost is more affordable than a larger one. We often think there is not much you can do to a bathroom without major renovations. But you can make a statement with a small bathroom with a few quick fixes.
Here are our Anne Winch Real Estate Team’s best ideas to update your small bathroom. These fixes will not cause you to take out a second mortgage or break the bank!
Update your tile
One decorating idea is to use tile to update the wall or shower. Subway tile can be inexpensive and still give an updated look. You can use a herringbone pattern or pick a tile with a different and unique flair! There are lots of colours and finishes to achieve a beautiful design. You can use the tile up to the ceiling to give more height to the room.
Flooring
Besides wall treatments, flooring is a way to go. It is always expensive to do flooring but if you pick a larger tile, it can cut down on costs and make your bathroom look larger. Some people may be afraid of using a larger tile in a smaller space, but it works well. If you pick a larger size tile it is less expensive including labour. If you pick a tile that resembles stone or marble it will add an element of luxury to your bathroom.
Paint
We can’t do a renovation and not talk about paint. With smaller bathrooms, it costs less for the paint, and you can finish in just a weekend. To make a cramped bathroom look light and airy, choose lighter blue or neutral colours. Select a durable paint that is made for bathroom moisture.
Paint your cabinets and vanity instead of replacing them for a quick décor saving.
Lighting
A bathroom needs lighting that is functional and gives an ambience to the room. When you start the day, you will want lighting, so you can see but at the end of the day, you want a dimmer look to relax.
Mirrors
Upgrade your mirror to a larger one to make your bathroom look grander and more expensive. Go for a mirror with a unique shape or frame. This will give more personality to a smaller room.
Little upgrades can make your bathroom go from builder-grade to luxurious. Splurge on a few items but also check vintage and thrift shops for some items too.
