Remodeling a small bathroom presents unique challenges, particularly when maximizing space without sacrificing style. Making even the smallest bathrooms practical and attractive with careful planning and innovative solutions is possible. Here are some space-saving ideas to consider for your small bathroom remodel.
- Opt for a Corner Sink
Space is at a premium in a small restroom. Installing a corner sink can free up considerable space. Unlike a pedestal sink, which can disrupt the only available traffic lane in the bathroom, a corner sink maximizes functional space, making the area feel less cramped.
- Consider a Shower Curtain or Sliding Door
Shower doors that swing open require space. Consider installing a sliding glass door or a space-saving shower curtain to make the most of this otherwise wasted room. These options are space-efficient and offer a chance to add color and style to your bathroom.
- Extend the Counter Over the Toilet
This clever design trick involves extending a narrow counter over the toilet tank. It doesn’t affect the placement or function of the toilet but provides additional counter space for toiletries and decor, a premium in small bathrooms.
- Use Large-Scale Patterns
Wide stripes, another large pattern, may fool the eye into seeing a larger area than exists. Large-format tiles work similarly, creating the illusion of more open space. These patterns can be applied to walls or floors for a space-enhancing effect.
- Wall-Mounted Faucets
Wall-mounted faucets save counter space and allow for a narrower sink or vanity. This can free up valuable square footage in the overall bathroom layout. Plus, wall-mounted fixtures add a sleek, modern touch to the decor.
- Recessed Storage Cabinets
Utilize the space inside your walls for storage. Recessed cabinets save floor space and can be placed in shower walls or above the sink, keeping your essentials easily accessible without cluttering the room.
- Choose a Floating Vanity
A floating vanity gives the illusion of more space and frees up floor area for storage or foot traffic. This contemporary design element instantly makes a bathroom feel more open and less boxy.
- Optimize Lighting
A room with plenty of light may seem larger than it is. Think about using a mix of natural, overhead, and task lighting to open up a room and make it seem larger.
