Let’s be honest, most people probably wish they had a bigger bathroom. There are plenty of reasons for wanting more space, but how can you make it happen without adding on square footage? Tundraland offers plenty of beautiful bath remodel options and there are also plenty of things you can do on your own. Check out these creative ideas to making your bathroom look and feel a little bit more spacious:

Colors

Contrast is good, but not when you’re shooting for the illusion of extra space. According to many interior designers, contrasting colors can break up a room making it look smaller. Try to do the following to boost your visual square inches:

  • Paint your ceiling the same or a similar color as your walls
  • Blend your shower wall colors to your wall
  • If color transitions are needed, make it as smooth and clean as possible

Mirrors

Adding a large mirror will “grow” nearly any tight space. Try to find a mirror that climbs and meets the ceiling, or hang a decorative light in front to amplify its sparkle.

Clutter

Are your lotions, soaps and other toiletries sitting out in plain sight? Do cosmetics cover every surface? Cutting back on clutter can be a huge facelift, especially for a small bathroom space. Finding creative ways to organize and store things out of sight can help make your room appear cleaner and larger.

Vanity

Consider switching out your large vanity for something smaller. Replacing your larger vanity can open up the bathroom space, exposing more square footage without breaking the bank.

Natural Light

The more natural light, the better. Avoid sacrificing sunshine for privacy and don’t skip on big, illuminating windows. Try a translucent window shade, private stain glass pattern, or slight tint instead of shutters, thick blinds or opaque coverings. Skylights can be an excellent window alternative that brings plenty of light into the small space without sacrificing privacy.

Shower

Your shower counts as floor space, and removing the visual wall from your bathroom space and the shower is a helpful way to extend the appearance of the room. The clean, simplistic look of a glass shower door is a modern and attractive way to get the effect. Walk in showers are also a great style that offers both visual appeal and convenience.

Tub to Shower

A very popular project for homeowners, a tub to shower conversion is the removal of your standard bathtub and installation of a new shower in its place. Tub to shower conversions are common because they often fit in your existing tub space, and usually do not require complete surgery of your entire bathroom. According to the American Institute of Architects, 56% of homeowners preferred a shower without a tub. From accessibility considerations to living a more on-the-go lifestyle, there are plenty of reasons that homeowners are choosing to replace their bathtubs with showers. These conversions are also very affordable, beautiful, maintenance free, and can make your bathroom a whole lot safer, and bigger.

Today I’m sharing how to install tile flush with hardwood floors, like I did in my bathroom.  Can you believe the Jack and Jill bathroom finally has floors?  I’m making slow but steady progress.  The vanity area of the bathroom has a combination of hardwood and tile.  The room that contains the shower and toilet is all tile but it butts up to the wood in the other room.   Install Tile Flush with Hardwood Floors" /> I wanted the tile to be flush with the hardwood floors so I installed the tile on LATICRETE STRATA_MAT™ XT   .    It helps create an even transition between typical ¼” to 3/8″ thick tile and 3/4″thick hardwood flooring.  The STRATA_MAT XT replaces 1/4″ thick cement board — it’s much lighter, easier to cut and installs with just mortar (no screws required). install tile flush with hardwood floor" /> Installing STRATA_MAT XT I cut a piece of STRATA_MAT XT to fit in the powder room.  Then I test fit that piece and cut out the vent and toilet drain hole .  I

Ken “Bear” Iddins of Buffalo Hats reveals his unique eight-foot custom Six- Pac shell model with an extremely custom, tricked-out, and modified interior.  Are those really stained glass windows ? Many of us have dreamed of designing and building our own truck camper.  One moment you’re sitting in your dinette looking at the kitchen thinking, “Why didn’t they put another cabinet right there?” and the next you’re drawing a truck camper floor plan on a napkin.  We have certainly inked a few ideas this way over the years.  Then the reality the of cost and time involved in such an endeavor hit us.  If truck campers could be built in Photoshop, we would make the world’s greatest truck camper .  Until then, we’re probably just dreaming. Then again, what if we could buy a shell and then have it custom up-fitted to our exact specifications?  That eliminates the need to design and build the exterior structure and allows us to focus on the interior we’ve always wanted.
