Tips for Bathroom Renovations

1. Built in Accessories: built-ins such as recessed soap dishes, medicine cabinets and even toilet roll holders can save space and streamline the look of the bathroom.



2. Colour: To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose white-to-cream colour spectrum.



3. Fixtures and Colour: Use white or cream coloured fixtures (i.e. toilet and bathtub)



4. Dim Lighting for Mood: A dimmer switch can add mood to your bathroom



5. Lighting: Enhance overhead lighting by adding Sconces around the mirror.



6. Extra Pieces: If space permits, many home decorators recommend having one freestanding piece such as a decorative chair or cupboard as a design element. This "decorative" piece can serve a practical use as a place to store towels, soaps, or other small items.



7. Hooks: Hooks are the easiest way to add "surface area" to a bathroom without actually adding real countertop surface area. Hooks can be used for everything from clothes to bathrobes to towels.



8. Mirrors: Mirrors in bathrooms (not just above the sink) are a design element which expand the room visually and add light to the room.



9. Accessorize: Candles, colour coordinated towels and bath mat, a new shower curtain and towel holders and faucets can transform a bathroom makeover.



10. Declutter: Remove clutter from counters. Store in wicker baskets or install a shelf above the toilet.
