Does Your Small Bathroom Make A Grand Impression
The bathroom is a sanctuary for most people. When moving into a new place, many people want to put their stamp on the room. Some become frustrated when dealing with minimal square footage, feeling this is not enough space to create a tranquil or peaceful vibe let alone have adequate function.
Fortunately, regardless of space, you can have efficiency, visual appeal, and relaxation. Consider the following tips when setting out to upgrade or renovate your small bathroom.
Use Wall Space
Take advantage of all the wall space available in the room. There are endless possibilities from the potential for storage to decorations and more. It’s all about looking at them creatively and considering a few of these suggestions. Hang shelving When remodeling, shelving is always a storage solution in any size bathroom but is particularly beneficial with a small bathroom that lacks space. One long shelf extend across the wall is a good addition or a few short one stacking one above the other can be visually appealing.
You can use them for essential and place a few decorative items on them. They free up floor space and give you more room on the vanity top for daily grooming items.
Install Cabinets
Some people want an enclosed area for their essentials to keep them out of sight for a clean looking bathroom space. You can install hanging cabinets above the toilet to hide miscellaneous clutter and keep the bathroom fresh and tidy.

Glass Shower
For a small bathroom, a stand-alone shower is better than having a showerbathtub combo. It saves a lot of square footage and makes a comfortable and efficient space. You want to choose a glass option with a frameless door to give the illusion of a bigger area.
The shower will be less noticeable with the see-through material. A bathroom that is incredibly cramped can benefit from a sliding door instead of one that swings out. If you can’t do without a tub, there are more compact options to work in smaller spaces. Speak with your contractor to figure out how to make a tub and shower work for your room.
Built-Ins
If you’re doing a new construction bathroom or restoring one in an older home, you might consider adding built-ins. These carved out spaces allow you to store things without taking up any of the room’s existing square footage.
These are helpful especially in the shower, areas where you can keep lotions, body wash, shampoo, and other essentials. You can also store cleaning suppliess, toiletries, and other personals outside the shower to make them more convenient and out of the way in the bathroom.
Switch Out the Door
Many doors swing into the bathroom but when the room is small it can make it really cramped, plus it can lead to damage if there’s not enough room for it to open all the way.Instead, switch out your traditional door for a barn door or a pocket door to save a lot of space.
Brighten the room Add more light to make the room feel bigger that it truly is. If you don’t have natural light, add a light above the vanity and ensure the lights in the room are bright. Click for tips on maximizing your small bathroom space.
Storage with Your Vanity
In the same way that you add wall cabinets, it’s wise to consider a vanity with storage and a counter to keep daily essentials. This keeps the bathroom functional and efficient when getting ready each morning.
A vanity should have drawers and a cabinet. You want to get the dimensions right for the bathroom’s square footage; it shouldn’t be too large or too small.
