Bathrooms are important parts of every home, but they’re not known for being particularly spacious. That means you may need to get a little creative to fit in the practical items you need. If you’re planning a bathroom remodel, here are some of the changes you should consider to add storage and functionality without taking up a ton of space.

Planning a Bathroom Remodel? Maximize Space With These Upgrades

1. Change Out Your Sink

Pedestal sinks are popular in small bathrooms because they don’t take up a lot of room, but they also don’t offer any real storage. If you need places to store your toiletries and extra cleaning supplies, you may want to upgrade to a slightly larger console sink or vanity with storage underneath. It may take up a bit more floor space but will add much more functionality so you won’t need to search for less practical solutions elsewhere.

2. Recess Your Medicine Cabinet

Medicine cabinets can be especially helpful for keeping small bathroom items organized. However, you may not want to see your mirror jut out over the sink to accommodate this type of storage. Instead, see if your home remodeling contractor can bump out that small section of the wall just a bit so you can add a larger medicine cabinet without taking up valuable real estate in such a small space.

3. Mount Shelves on the Walls

If you want to keep extra items out in the open, you can always opt for shelves mounted above the toilet or outside of your shower area. However, make sure you choose quality materials and have them professionally installed during your bathroom remodel, as cheap or temporary solutions can sometimes make the room look a bit disjointed or thrown together.
