What word best describes your bathroom? If it’s somewhere in the vicinity of “small”, “tiny”, or “minuscule”, then you may feel very limited in your renovation options.
In fact, there are many ways to remodel your bathroom to make it feel bigger. Read on for 16 of our favorite tips.
1. Pocket Doors
To make the most of your small bathroom, start from the outside in. Rather than fret over allowing for your bathroom door to open, opt for a pocket door that recedes into the wall.
2. Sliding Shower Doors
Open doors can eat up precious space inside your bathroom too. Select a shower curtain or sliding glass door instead of one that opens wide.
3. Keep Things Light & Bright
In a bathroom, like in any room, keep your color palette light and bright, in order to supersize your small space.
4. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Using a large mirror to fool the eye is the oldest trick in the book… and extremely effective at making your minute bathroom feel airy.
5. Full-Length Mirrored Medicine Cabinet
Let your mirror perform double duty, as a full-length medicine cabinet.
6. Shelving Above the Toilet
In a tiny bathroom, look for charming ways to make use of space that is often overlooked, like the wall above the toilet.
7. Shelving Above the Door
Install a shelf above a door to stow items to which you need less frequent access.
8. Build In Extra Space
Built-in units are a good way to elegantly pack heavy duty storage into a small area.
9. Time for Recess
Recessed shelving in the wall or shower offers the perfect opportunity for more space-efficient storage.
10. U-Shaped Drawers
Use U-shaped drawers under the sink to maximize usable storage around the pipe.
11. Wall-Mounted Faucet & Vessel Sink
Consider the space-efficient combination of a wall-mounted faucet and vessel sink, which leaves room to hold additional items, and frees up an extra drawer that a traditional sink would have monopolized.
12. Trough Sink
Opt for a trough sink, which steals less real estate from a small bathroom, leaving you more room to move.
13. Cut Some Corners
Save yourself from bumping into hard corners in a confined space, by choosing a round vanity.
14. Make the Most of your Corners
Make maximum use of your corners, which are all too often wasted space, with a stunning corner shower like this one.
15. Be Off the Wall
Corner vanities also make optimal use of small corners. Choose a wall-mounted model to make your small bathroom feel less confined.
16. Claw-Foot Tub
Finally, opt for a claw-foot tub, which lends an airier feel to a small bathroom than its more modern counterpart.
