Small or big, if you want to make your bathroom look good and feel good, then read on. Some individuals leave the bathroom to be done up last, or give it the least importance. But mind it you, it is here that you get hygienically clean, you spend your time at ease and of course get refreshed for the day. While setting up your bathroom there are some basic fixtures designs you have to adhere you. This will make your bathroom functional and safe. There are a few parameters that have to be followed. For instance a minimum space of 30 x 48 inches of uncluttered floor space is to be kept in front of the commode. From this 19 inches should serve as the knee area from under the seat. A minimum of 15 inches is required from the centre of the toilet to the walls and 30 inches from the centre of the toilet to any other sanitary fixture.

60 inches in length is the minimum tub size if you plan to keep one and 30 inches in width with flowing wide space on either sides. Where showers are concerned there should be at least 34 inches of space from wall to wall, but some people have even smaller.

If you have a small bathroom you can ascertain size by using optical illusion. If height is the concern then you can add height to bathroom by using vertical stripes. These can be in the form of paint or with wallpaper. Even tiles with vertical designs can be used right up to the ceiling. You can end it with a cornice to make the ceiling look higher. Mirrors help in increasing the look via width and depth; this is told by many Indian interior designers. But too many mirrors can spoil the look. Hence just use one mirror with strategic location, such that it can reflect the light from all angles.
