Maximize Space & Light in your Bathroom

Here are a few easy tips from the DIYNetwork to help you maximize space and light in your bathroom. If you are thinking of putting your home on the market, maximizing space and light in all rooms, especially the bathrooms, is key to a successful showing.
White and Wood
·         White molding mixed with a richly finished cabinet help keep the room light. Corner windows and sconces up-turned help to reflect light off the ceiling, keeping the space bright.
Night Light
·         Place pebbles below a clear glass countertop with blue or white LED rope lighting illuminating below for fabulous lighting.
Sticks and Stones
·         When natural-stone sinks are paired with log-haw wood, a nature setting is inevitable! Place a rough cut piece of wood at the top of dual mirrors. A glass waterfall in between the mirrors tops the space off!
Mix and Match
·         Don’t be afraid to use a variety of materials. Place a brushed-nickel bathtub on stones making an amazing contrast when placed next to a textured glass sliding door lined with rough wood.
Enjoy the view from all sides
·         Enjoy the windows allotted to you. A tub/shower placed next to a window allows for a view of the outdoors regardless your preference of bath or shower.
Mood lighting
·         Placing tea lights behind the tub helps to set the mood for relaxation.
Practicality Counts
·         If you have several kids in tow, it’s a great idea to think about making the most of your space. Three bathroom sinks and mirrors saves time. Automatic hand dryer and toothbrush sanitizer, saves not only money  but space!
Vanity Nightlight
·         Placing rope lighting under the vanity illuminates on the floor not only makes those midnight visits easier for the little ones but looks great as well.
Go Into the Wall
·         Frame recessed cubbies using reclaimed wood.  These great cubbies can be used for bath towels saving space. Hanging a chandelier over a self standing tub help to add a classic style with a unique feel!

Sometimes it might be easier to hire a professional to help you with these decorating decisions. Keep in mind real estate agents and stagers are a perfect resource to help you get started!
