Bathroom Decorating Ideas

Bathrooms in traditionally built Portsmouth houses are generally quite compact, so good planning to make the most of the available space is crucial.

Lighting is an important consideration in smaller bathrooms, halogen spot lights are a good option instead of the traditional central light fitting. Keep the windows as uncluttered to allow the maximum amount of natural light into the room, light coloured roller blinds provide privacy and can allow diffused light into the bathroom.

The use of built in storage, keeping items out of sight, helps to create a clean clutter free space, this helps to make the room to feel larger.

Siting the bath taps in the centre of the bath, on the wall, improves access to the bath, increasing flexibility as the bath can be used from either end.

Tiles are the obvious answer for walls and floors, providing waterproof, wipe down surfaces, but in a smaller room try to select designs that use a clean, simple design and avoid over elaborate designs which can create a claustrophobic feel. The use of large sized tiles can help to make the room feel bigger.

Make sure that you consider ventilation when planning your bathroom.

High humidity levels experienced in bathrooms feeds mould, mildew, and even structural rot. A good source of ventilation to remove steam and humid air is essential, otherwise mildew and mould will form.
