			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-266" title="small-bathroom" src="http://www.roomdecoratingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/small-bathroom.jpg" alt="" width="118" height="175" />Small bathroom design is very challenging, especially if you&#8217;re starting from scratch and are given the option to choose everything from toilet to cabinet, sink, and shower/tub size. So designing a small bathroom can be divided into two parts: 1) determining the basic layout of the main items 2) working with color and accessories to maximize the remaining area and create a sense of style.</p>
<div id="attachment_265" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 165px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-265" title="small-toilet" src="http://www.roomdecoratingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/small-toilet.jpg" alt="Small toilet with shorter projection" width="155" height="158" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Small toilet with shorter projection</p></div>
<p>So let&#8217;s be realistic; if you have a tiny bathroom, the most practical move would be to invest in a toilet with a shorter projection, small sink (which can either be grounded on the floor or smalller and attached only to the wall), and probably a shower minus the bath tub. You can include a bathtub, but be prepared for the consequences in terms of losing extra space that could be very useful for storing items such as towels and other knicknacks.</p>
<div id="attachment_277" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 84px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-277" title="small-bathroom-storage" src="http://www.roomdecoratingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/small-bathroom-storage1.jpg" alt="vertical storage" width="74" height="120" /><p class="wp-caption-text">vertical storage</p></div>
<p>I would hold off on the traditional bathroom cabinets in favor of more modern storage, which tends to be highly compact and uses vertical space more effectively and creatively.Since these cabinets take up less space and are more flexible, I would begin with sorting out the location of the sink, toilet, and shower first in relation to eachother and the door. A word of advice; make sure that you take your measurements correctly so that entering and exiting the bathroom or even the shower is comfortable and not a challenge.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-269" title="small-bathroom-with-tub" src="http://www.roomdecoratingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/small-bathroom-with-tub.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="122" />Once you&#8217;ve sorted out the basic layout and measurements, we can begin to look at ways to enhance the bathroom design. A major element in creating an illusion of space is the use of lighter colors, so consider painting your bathroom in a light color scheme and also working with natural light. If you do choose to go with darker, warmer, colors, make sure you have enough lighter colors in the bathroom to contrast to keep the bathroom from becoming too suffocating.</p>
<div id="attachment_270" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 228px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-270" title="small-but-stylish-bathroom" src="http://www.roomdecoratingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/small-but-stylish-bathroom-300x300.jpg" alt="Stylish small bathroom" width="218" height="218" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Stylish small bathroom</p></div>
<p>Accessories such as colorful flowers, candles, and soap, in addition to creative shelving are very important in creating the actual style of the bathroom. Many stores sell sets of bathroom accessories so that there is a consistent feel in the design which helps reduce the impression of clutter.</p>
<div id="attachment_271" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-271" title="bathroom-accessories" src="http://www.roomdecoratingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/bathroom-accessories.jpg" alt="Set of bathroom accessories" width="150" height="137" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Set of bathroom accessories</p></div>
<p>You can find beautiful soap holders, toothbrush holders, trash cans, tissue holders, and much more. Themed towels (in various colors or white, depending on the color scheme you chose for the walls), perfumes, lotions, and even a well-chosen painting can also contribute immensly to the overall look of the small bathroom. And last but not least, choose a elegant, simple, mirror that will be noticable but not dominant.</p>
<p>By combining an effective layout with an attractive color scheme and the right accessories, you can be proud of yourself for creating and implementing a gorgeous small bathroom design.</p>
