If you find yourself in one of the older homes in the area, you probably have found yourself with a very tiny bathroom. Apparently, there was no desire to show off or spend extra time in the bathroom until recently, so you probably have one of those little 5 by 8 jobs.
Remodeling your bathroom doesn’t mean knocking down walls, and you really can do a lot with a little. Something as simple as a pedestal sink suddenly gives you much more room. The modern options really open up a bathroom, and give it a sleek look.
If you are painting, add some horizontal lines for accents. This creates a great visual appearance of more space. Extra mirrors can open up a tight area, and narrow storage options makes great use of vertical space that was going unused.
New, brighter lighting is an easy way to open up a bathroom. Simply eliminating shadows makes a bathroom much more user friendly.
Putting modern designs in an old house is easy, but some of these options may not be available from your local hardware store. They tend to carry the stock items that generically fit into any bathroom. Using a bathroom remodeling contractor with a skilled design background will introduce you to options you didn’t even know existed.
