The Perfect Layout To Maximize The Space In Your Small Bathroom

You don't have to be limited by space when remodeling your home. These small bathroom ideas will help you achieve the best outcome for your remodel.

Be Innovative with Your Fixture Options

• Shower - Recessed shelving is better than protruding walls shelves for a smaller shower area. A combination shower tub and free-standing shower are options to maximize space. A sliding door is an alternative to a swinging outdoor. A sliding door is also an option for a small bathroom closet.

  
  
  

• Sink - A sink design can be adapted to any bathroom layout. With its tiny footprint, a corner sink can free up space in your bathroom. A sink fixture that mounts to a wall can also be found. This will allow for smaller items to be stored on the floor. Floating vanities are a great way to open up your floor space and have the added benefit of storage. A vessel sink is a better choice than a pedestal or drop-in sink if you are looking for more counter space.

• Toilet - There are limited sizes and shapes available, so it is important to consider placing toilets in small bathrooms. Place your toilet next to the cabinet and door openings to avoid cramped spaces. To increase shelf and storage space for shorter toilets, you can extend the sink counter or shelves above the tank.

Bathroom Design

• Color scheme - Use large patterns or a simple, clean design. Bathrooms with much wallpaper can look smaller. Brighter or more subtle colors can make rooms seem more significant. However, it is possible to use the same color in adjoining rooms and hallways to unify the space.

• Decor - Small bathroom remodeling ideas should be limited to decorations and other knickknacks. They can make the space appear cluttered. To give the illusion of a larger area, you can use mid-sized statement pieces such as a painting or an elongated tree to create a taller, wider appearance. Vertical cabinetry can achieve the same effect.

• Mirror - Play around with the size and number of mirrors. Mirrors can make a space appear larger, depending on your goals. Tall mirrors, for example, can make your ceilings appear higher, while wall-length mirrors can increase depth.

  
  
  

• Lighting -- Recessed light is an excellent option for small bathrooms. The room's edges will be blurred by the softening light, while brighter fixtures can create a cluttered look. To let as much natural light into a space as possible, consider installing skylights and windows.

Bathrooms are a great addition to a home for resale, and they are also the rooms that your family uses daily. Any home can be improved by adding a bathroom, even a small one.
