Bathroom designs for small homes

Most homes in cities have small bathrooms. This does not mean that you cannot turn it into a lovely space. Light colours are ideal for small homes and it is better to avoid dark shades, which give the space a small look. Accessories and sanitary wares that you buy should also have a neat, compact and comfortable design.

Ensure that there is adequate ventilation, so that whenever you need fresh air, all you need to do is open up a window. This will also ensure plenty of natural light, which is good for your bathroom. A good bathroom design should allow for a window, even if it means that you may have to opt for small windows rather than large ones.

For fittings, opt for the best brands, if you can afford the same, as it will remain intact for a long time. After months of planning the bathroom design, you would not want to end up choosing low quality fixtures that may lose colour or break in no time.

Choose convenient designs for the bathroom. Suppose you have only one bathroom and two to three people with clashing routines. In this case, you can opt for two wash basin bowls.

Fixtures and fittings should not touch the ground. This will make it easier to clean the bathroom surface. Also ensure that there is space for everything, right from your bathroom slippers to your towel.
