Because your bathroom is small, the materials you need will be minimal. For a large bathroom, the materials needed seem to go on forever. But even the cabinetry that you choose must be small in order not to cramp the space in your small bathroom.
When you make an error, it will be a small one. If the paint you choose does not look like you thought it would, you can start over without having lost much in the way of paint.
You can paint the walls or wallpaper them. If you choose wallpaper, you will need to smooth down all the bumps and rough surfaces on the wall before you apply the paper. Some paper already has glue on it, and it only needs warm water activation. Other papers will need to be glued to the wall with glue that you buy separately. For painting, you will need the right type of paint for bathrooms, some brushes of different sizes, maybe a roller and its pan, and some drop cloths or newspapers. A little spackle, and a screwdriver or two, and you are just about set to begin your project.
The toilet is heavy, so if you cannot lift it and maneuver it comfortably, you may need a plumber for this part of your remodel. It needs to set right on the floor, and the wax ring can be tricky, as well.
Cabinetry is always fun to choose, too. And you will want to match to it a sink that fits. Sinks can be porcelain or marble, or beautiful shades in glass. And it should be the main attraction in a small bathroom. If you do not purchase the cabinet and the sink together, you will want to take the exact measurements of the piece you bought first, so that when you return to a store to choose the matching sink or cabinet, it will fit when you get it home.
You will need to match your new bathroom curtain with your shower curtain, or at least have one compliment the other. The towels and rugs should also be of the same hues, perhaps a shade darker. You may need to replace your toilet paper roll with an upright standalone one, if your cabinetry takes up more space than you had planned.
So, what type of decor have you decided upon? Will it be Tuscan, with textured walls and wrought iron towel rods? Or will it be modern, with mirrors all around, and a clear shower curtain? You may like bold colors, or you may like pastels. You may want a small collection of little knick-knacks around, matching perfectly to the theme or style you have created. And flowers, or ornamental shrubs or plants, whether real or silk, always add to the warmth of a bathroom. Whatever you decide, whichever style you choose, you will be rewarded by the finished product of your new small bathroom decor.
