16 Brilliant Ideas to Create More Space

August 24, 2016 By miraclemethod

create space

Learn how to create more space and style in smaller rooms throughout your home. If you’re looking for space definition, you’ve come to the right place. Even the smallest rooms in your home can hold the greatest potential! A smaller space means you must carefully plan to fit your budget. Use our expert advice for these brilliant space saving solutions.

Bedroom:

CHOOSE LIGHT PAINT. Neutral paint colors make all the difference when it comes to creating an illusion of space. If darker colors fit into your decorating plans, try painting a single accent wall to prevent shrinking spaces.

RE-ARRANGE FURNITURE. Get creative when positioning furniture! Use shorter walls to perfectly center beds or dressers for that warm, cozy vibe.

MIX IT UP. Spice it up by decorating bedding, wall décor, and pillows in super fun textures. A mix of funky patterns paired with a simple print creates the right blend of balance without overcrowding your bedroom.

USE BRIGHT LIGHTING. As you may already know, dark spaces make a room appear smaller. Investing in good lighting options will open up a room and go a long ways in making the space feel bigger and brighter.

Kitchen:

INSTALL SHELVING. Wrap-around shelving is a brilliant fix to maximize storage space. When it comes to a lack of counter space, good shelving can provide all the storage you need to stay organized.

REFINISH COUNTERTOPS. Countertops are one of the first things you see when you enter a kitchen. Be mindful of outdated or damaged surfaces. Refinish countertops for a beautiful, new look that will draw attention to the beauty of the kitchen versus this size. The biggest advantage of countertop refinishing is a savings of 50% or more over the cost of replacement so you can achieve a high-end look without the high-end cost.

KEEP THE LIGHTS ON: We know dark colors tend to be a popular choice for kitchen walls. To keep your kitchen from looking smaller, install under-cabinet lights. Regardless of color, bright lighting is the trick to creating the ultimate illusion of space.

Bathroom:

HANG TOWEL RACKS IN RIGHT PLACE. A clever trick to save space is to hang towel racks above the bathtub. An easy-to-reach spot that utilizes space correctly, so you can have more wall space to decorate.

GO FOR THE BIGGEST MIRROR. When choosing what type of mirror style you want, select the larger option to create more space. The larger the mirror, the greater reflection of light will illuminate to make your bathroom appear larger.

FIND THE BEST STORAGE. Use tall cabinets with multiple drawers for storing towels, toiletries and other accessories. Taller pieces draw the eye upward into often unused space.  Eliminate large, bulky and unwanted furniture pieces and clutter.

REFINISH WITH NATURAL ACCENTS®. Brighten up your bathroom countertops with Natural Accents from Miracle Method, creating a beautiful transformation with a stone-like finish for vanities, countertops, showers, fiberglass shower units, and tile surrounds. A light, bright new color can transform your space.

Living Room:

MAKE SENSE OF YOUR COFFEE TABLES: Look for long skinny coffee tables or mirrored edged end tables that offer extra surface space for table lamps, picture frames, and decorative accents.

COLOR YOUR CEILING.
Visually expand your square footage by painting the ceiling a darker shade than the color of your walls. A simple trick to create more space.

CREATE OPEN SPACE. Find furniture that fits the style and design of the room without over doing it. It may work better to use a single large sitting sofa than two smaller ones that take up more space. Check out design ideas on Pinterest. Get inspiration on what might work for your space.

LET YOUR CURTAINS HANG HIGH. Add useful space with curtains that fall to the floor.  This will make the room and ceilings appear much taller.

A Better Alternative to Bathtub Liners

November 19, 2013 By miraclemethod

Simply put, bathtub liners are sheets of PVC plastic or acrylic which are molded to the shape of a tub, placed over your existing tub, and then glued down to cover it up.  Why trade the deep gloss of refinished porcelain tub for the look and feel of plastic.  By refinishing your bathtub you can avoid the various pitfalls associated with a meager bathtub liner. Choosing Miracle Method to handle your bathtub refinishing project is both affordable in the short-term as well as more beneficial over the long term.

Before

Before

Instead of numerous employees handling different stages of the bathtub liner installation process — something that could take weeks when all is said and done — a Miracle Method certified technician can complete the entire transformation in just two days.

More importantly, when utilizing an inferior solution like a bathtub liner, cracks or leaks are likely to develop over time. This can cause problems like mold, damaged plumbing, or a “squishy” texture in the entire tub. While certainly unpleasant, these consequences can also lead to serious health problems for you and your family.

After

Why take risks? Ensure both the safety of yourself and your family, as well as the future of your bathroom, by contacting Miracle Method. With over 34 years of proven experience as the nation’s largest surface refinisher, Miracle Method has successfully repaired and refinished tubs, tile, and countertops for over 1 million satisfied customers.

How does tile shower and shower pan refinishing work?

Before and after tile shower refinishing

Before and after tile shower refinishing from Miracle Method.

Shower pans can become stained for many reasons, including years and years of mineral build-up. If your shower pan is stained and it seems like you’ve tried everything you can to get it clean without success, don’t replace it, consider hiring Miracle Method to refinish it!

Refinishing a tile shower and shower pan is similar to refinishing a bathtub in that it includes multiple steps. The first step involves a  cleaning process to remove contaminants such as soap scum, body oil and dirt. The next step is to float the grout. This entails using a squeegee to evenly spread a small amount of grout over the surface to fill in gaps and even out grout lines. Then the tile is cleaned, a bonding agent is applied and several coats of hi-tech acrylic are used to finalize the refinishing.

You can go from an old, stained shower pan and outdated tile to a shower that not only looks like new, but is much easier to clean!  Another unique benefit of refinishing tile showers and tile shower pans is that once refinished, the tile grout lines are also refinished and permanently sealed so no more scrubbing stained and moldy grout lines!  To find the nearest Miracle Method location use our store locator, or call 855-212-7337.
