Just because your bathroom is petit, doesn’t have to mean that it can’t be classy, stylish and downright luxurious!
While a large bathroom with tub, walk-in shower, ample storage and a show stopping vanity might be what you want in your home, for many homeowners, it simply isn’t what they’ve got. That said, there’s absolutely no reason why a small bathroom can’t be made to look spacious and luxurious, and have all the remodeling must-haves of the perfect bathroom.
Here are some top tips for making the most out of space in a small bathroom:
Say goodbye to the tub
For many faced with small bathrooms, tubs are a luxury they simply don’t have the space for, and if you want to make the most of your small bathroom, foregoing a tub could be the right decision, especially if you don’t use it very often.
If you’ve already got a tub, consider replacing it with a walk-in shower with glass doors, to allow the entire square footage of your bathroom to be visible, and make it appear bigger than it is.
Create a custom countertop
Ever feel like there simply isn’t enough counter space in your bathroom to put cosmetics or other essential items onto? If the dimensions of the space don’t allow for standard countertops to be put in, you could consider creating a custom countertop instead, to maximize space. There may be a possibility of extending a ledge across the back of your toilet if it’s positioned next to the vanity, too.
Invest in wall mounted faucets
With faucets that are mounted to the wall instead of your countertops, you can free up space on your vanity and help add a more contemporary look to the entire space.
Have pocket doors installed
For smaller bathrooms, the door is often the cause of a lot of space issues, and with most swinging inward, they make the space behind the door virtually unusable. For the ultimate space saving solution, try pocket doors; hung from the top and sliding along a track mounted inside the wall, these doors are fantastic for saving space and they add a unique look to a room.
Consider vertical cabinets and mirrors
Tricks of the eye can work wonders for creating a sense of space, and by choosing cabinets and mirrors that are tall instead of wide, you can help draw the eye upward and give the impression that your ceiling is higher than it actually is.
While you can’t magic a big, spacious bathroom out of a very small space, there are plenty of things you can do to embellish the room and create the impression that it’s bigger than it is. With the help of an experienced remodeling company, you can make the most out of your small bathroom and enjoy it in its fullest.
