A bathtub, no matter what size it is, will take up a lot of space, especially in a small bathroom. Therefore, when renovating, let’s consider that the shower is definitely a better option. The space we save by resigning from the bathtub can be used, for example, for additional cabinets. If you have a lot of money to spend, you will be able to get a lot of money for it.
If we want to enlarge our bathroom space, we should bet on reflective materials during the renovation. What kind of materials? These include lacquered furniture, metallic mosaics with glass motifs or shiny ceramic tiles. Large panes of mirrors without frames will also enlarge the bathroom.
Playing with lighting in the bathroom, it is easy to divide it into zones. Usually they are separated by the location of bathroom equipment, but equally well the division into zones can be marked by the color and method of bathroom lighting
The most important thing, however, is to decide on the location of devices in the bathroom before the installation in it, so that there is no situation in which, for example, the shower tray will be located too far from the sewer line, because then it will have to be placed on a rise.
