Tiny Tubs: Space-Saving Bathing Solutions
In the world of bathroom remodels, small spaces can be challenging to work with. However, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. In fact, you can create a stylish bathtub even in the smallest of bathrooms by coordinating colors and other décor. One way to do this is by using a brightly colored tub. This can add an inviting and unique touch to the room. In addition, you can also tie in the tub’s color with other accessories and fixtures, such as shower curtain ties, soap dispensers, toothbrush holders and wastebaskets.
Another option is to choose a tub that is more narrow than the average bathtub. These tubs are ideal for a small space because they can fit in an alcove and still be able to hold water. In addition, they are usually easier to get in and out of. This type of tub can be used in smaller homes, cabins and apartments. Many of these types of tubs come with jets to provide a spa-like experience.
Floating Vanity: Modern Bathroom Elegance
Floating vanities make it easier to show off a show stopping tub, a modern tile design or anything else that might have been hidden by a large vanity. They’re also less bulky than traditional vanities, and they make the bathroom feel more open. They’re great for creating a
minimalist aesthetic, and they can be customized to hang at any height for taller or shorter people. They also offer more storage than standard vanities, allowing you to use a combination of drawers and cabinets for toiletries.
However, floating vanities aren’t the simplest to install. They require a steel or other strong support frame to keep them in place, which can be risky if you have kids or elderly people living in the home. And they can expose the floor underneath them, which may be a problem in homes with old or damaged floors. Also, if the floating cabinet isn’t secured correctly, it can fall, especially if someone leans on it.
Storage Solutions for Every Need
Storage is usually a top priority for homeowners and renters alike. Generic cabinetry can do a fine job, but customized options are even more efficient. A custom-designed tower can host as many shelves, drawers, and storage nooks as needed to hide clutter, and can match the vanity for an integrated look.
Organize your bathroom with decorative trays to hold items like makeup, skincare products, cotton balls, and more. Choose ones with a metallic finish to coordinate with your sconces, mirror, and hardware. Designers like Cameron Rupert and Commune Design often use them to add dimension, color, and pattern to their bathrooms.
Wall niches can hold towels, vases, or peculiar decor for an added pop of interest in the space. They can also double as an easy way to hang a shower curtain, as did interior designer Nicole Davis in this bathroom. This keeps the eye focused on a statement piece instead of the curtain's hem.
