Tips for Maximizing Space in Your Bathroom

Tips for Maximizing Space in Your Bathroom

If you have a small bathroom, you know space is a luxury. With a few clever design tricks here and there along with some help from remodeling experts, you can make your small bathroom feel spacious, functional, and beautiful. Whether you're looking to add storage, create an open layout, or just make the most of what you have … here’s how you can get the most out of your small bathroom remodel.

Make the Most of Vertical Space

One of the easiest ways to make a small bathroom feel bigger is to maximize the use of your vertical space. Rather than taking up floor space with cabinets for storage, installing shelves, cabinets, or even hooks near the ceiling can make all the difference in creating a more open area. Not only will this provide more storage, but it will make it easier to access items you use less frequently, such as extra towels and toiletries.

Opt for Sleek and Minimalist Design

When it comes to a small bathroom remodel, less is usually more. Go for a sleek and minimalistic design to get rid of clutter and make the most of what you already have in your space. Choose a simple color palette using colors like white or light blue, and make use of clean lines and simple shapes in your decor. This makes your bathroom feel more open and gives it an airy feel.

Your choice of bathroom fixtures contributes to this as well - stay away from clunky light fixtures and outdated faucet handles. Opt for sleek, modern fixtures and mirrors that will make your space more contemporary while keeping your design in sync.

Change Up Your Doors

Whenever possible, take advantage of pocket doors or barn doors! Reducing the space of a traditional swinging door makes a great difference. A pocket door slides right into the wall - out of sight, out of mind! Barn doors are aesthetically pleasing and give your space a contemporary feel. Upgrading your shower doors makes a great difference as well. Sliding doors take up less space than your swinging doors would, and clear glass creates the illusion of a larger space.

Get Creative With Your Sink

Floating sinks, corner sinks, pedestal sinks, and wall-mounted sinks are all great options for saving space. Both floating sinks and wall-mounted sinks are, you guessed it - mounted straight to the wall! This can create an airy and open feel in your bathroom. Corner sinks fit snugly into the wall of your bathroom, making the most out of a space that often goes unused. Pedestal sinks are mounted on a single column, which allows you to make the most of your floor space. With a touch of creativity and the right design elements, you can build a bathroom that is small, functional, and beautiful.

Use Color to Your Advantage

Elevate your space by making intentional color choices. Just because your space is small doesn’t mean it can’t make a big impact! Color choices go both ways - keeping your color palette light makes a room feel larger. Light colored flooring like white tiles or a light vinyl floor with a wood look can open up the room - but don't be afraid to add a statement piece! A bright colored toilet or a bold piece of artwork can add personality to your bathroom. Not only will it be more exciting visually, but your bathroom will be more cozy and inviting.
