This is very true when it comes to bathroom remodeling in Bethesda, it not only will look bigger but it will be more functional due to the changes that can be made, making it considerably easier to move around in.

Before you even consider starting the project you have to determine that which you believe has to be changed or updated along with a detailed look at the budget available. Bathrooms are not inexpensive to remodel, even if they are small, a simple change like paint color costs very little but if your desire is to relocate fixtures, change the flooring, lighting and tiles, then you are looking at a somewhat expensive undertaking.

Small bathroom remodeling in Bethesda means that you will want to maximize on the space that is available and in the process create an illusion; an illusion of more space than there really is. Light colored walls as well as a pale floor tile do just this. If you want dark colors in the bathroom, consider using darker colored accessories such as towels. Generally speaking, light colors give the impression of space.

Also focus your attention on lighting when you are remodeling a small bathroom. A single ceiling mounted fixture does nothing for lighting, look into installing light fixtures above the sink or recessed into the ceiling above this area. You may also want to consider installing sconces along each side of the mirror, these tips make the room look brighter as well as larger and they consume no space. Using a large mirror is a great way to reflect light throughout the small room; there are some decorators who install a series of smaller mirrors to give the impression of space.

Years ago fixtures had the tendency to be quite large. Consider tearing out the tub and replacing it with a glass enclosed shower stall, replace the old toilet with a small, modern design. Vanity sinks took far more space than they should have, remove the vanity and replace it with a pedestal mount sink. Get rid of the clutter by storing items that are used infrequently and install hooks for your bathrobe and towels.
