Jul 5th, 2008 by atlanta apartments
Although the Atlanta apartment renters’ choices for revamping the decor of their bathrooms is very limited, this does not mean that they cannot improve them without making any major renovation or changes. Given below are a few tips and tricks that will help you to accomplish your mission without getting the landlord mad:
1. Choosing the right color palette is of utmost importance. Though you may not have the permission to replace old tiles, you surely can coax your landlord into allowing you to paint the walls of the bathroom. Avoid using very bright and vibrant colors; instead stick to soft and cool hues as they give the illusion of more space and freedom. Rather use exciting shades for the accessories and linens in the bathroom. You can adopt a similar approach for the flooring as well. Use a rug in light colors to cover up any nasty sights on the bathroom.
2. Use mirrors elaborately since they also create the illusion of space. Instead of opting for a single and huge piece of mirror placed conventionally above the wash basin, you can experiment with a cluster of mirrors in different shapes and sizes to give a new and distinct look to your Atlanta apartment’s bathroom. Mirrors with built-in magnifiers are ideal for shaving.
3. Always keep your bathroom neat and organized. Linen closets and storage cabinets are a must for a clutter-free bathroom. Eliminate unnecessary items that you don’t use and keep infrequently used items out of sight. Since, Atlanta apartment bathrooms have very limited space; try to incorporate creative storage solutions. Racks and shelves offer easy visibility and accessibility for items of daily use. These not only enable you to keep essential items in place but also allow you to display them attractively.
4. Always keep the visual path clear and open. For instance, push the shower curtain to one side when not in use. This will give the impression of a larger Atlanta apartment space.
5. Furnishing the bathroom appropriately is essential. Pick sleek plumbing fixtures that will help in giving a contemporary look and feel. Explore countless options with smooth corners and streamlined symmetry that add a fluid element as well as provide for a cohesive décor. Choose clever designs like wall mounted storage units or inset sinks that offer you more floor space.
6. Modern countertops are durable and perfect for bathrooms. A cupboard built under the sink countertops can serve as a closet for storing linen or also be very useful in holding other necessary items. Choose fixtures that give a neat and compact look.
7. For shower doors, select plain and clear glass or a smoked and simple one. Shower curtains can be in cheerful colors or bright prints, dung with the help of a tension wire or a curtain rod.
8. For the window curtains of your Atlanta apartment bathroom, choose light colors in soft fabrics. However if you want privacy, opt for blinds in metal, wood or plastic.
9. Use discreet but effective sources of lightning. Halogen fixtures in low voltage or contemporary light fixtures at the right places can prove to be very effective maximizing the interiors space of your Atlanta apartment bathroom.
