Transforming a small bathroom into a functional and appealing space requires creativity and precision. At Small Remodeling, we specialize in maximizing every square inch to create a bathroom that is not only beautiful but incredibly efficient. Here are ten creative remodeling ideas that we’ve implemented to help clients make the most of their compact bathrooms.
Opt for Sliding Doors
Traditional swinging doors consume valuable space. Installing a sliding door or a pocket door can free up floor space, making your bathroom look bigger and more accessible.
Install a Corner Sink
Sometimes a pedestal sink can disrupt the only available traffic lane in a bathroom. A corner sink across from the toilet works better than one across from the shower. The opening and closing of the shower door usually create an awkward walk-around condition.
Use Large-Scale Patterns
Large-scale patterns can trick the eye into seeing expansive spaces even in small areas. A wide stripe, for instance, can elongate a room, making it feel broader or taller than it actually is.
Choose a Vanity with Open Shelves
Cabinetry with closed doors can make small spaces feel crowded. Opt for a vanity with open shelves, which offers necessary storage without the visual bulk. It also encourages a more organized and clutter-free space.
Extend the Counter Over the Toilet
An extended counter creates just enough space for a few needed items. Toilet placement is not affected, and the look is minimalist and clean.
Use Large Mirrors
In small spaces, mirrors are more than just tools for reflection, they are style assets. A large mirror can visually double the space in your bathroom and add a luminous ambiance.
Mount the Towel Bar on a Door
When space is at a premium, mounting a towel bar on the shower door or the back of the main door keeps towels handy without taking up wall space. This tip can make a big difference in cramped quarters.
Select a Trough Sink
The narrow, clean styling of a trough sink is a visually appealing and practical choice for small spaces. Its slim profile can free up floor space as well, lending a more open feel to the bathroom.
Try a Wall-mounted Faucet
Mounting the faucet on the wall allows for a narrower sink or vanity, which in turn frees up square footage in the total bathroom. Don’t be afraid to try out this small change that can make a big difference.
Incorporate Plenty of Natural Light
If possible, increasing the amount of natural light can instantly make a small bathroom feel larger and more inviting. Consider a frosted window pane for privacy and a source of natural light.
