Perhaps your bathroom lacks storage space, and you’re tired of toiletries falling off the vanity counter. Maybe its current construction lacks organization or features too much bulk. If your bathroom remodeling project is all about functionality, use these tips to ensure the results you want.

5 Bathroom Remodeling Tips to Increase Functionality

1. Consider a Recessed Medicine Cabinet

Save space with a recessed medicine cabinet, especially if yours currently looms over a small vanity. The result is a sleek storage solution, that houses bathroom clutter. If you cannot recess this cabinet, ensure it does not extend more than 5 inches over your vanity.

2. Take Advantage of Vertical Space

Utilize vertical space with floating shelves or floor-to-ceiling cabinets if your bathroom has the square footage. Add hooks as well, such as a row of hooks for drying towels quickly and some to the back of your bathroom door for robes. Make changes that keep items off of the floor to reduce clutter.

3. Install Wall-Hung & Corner Fixtures

Enjoy more floor space with fixtures such as pedestal or corner sinks and wall-hung toilets. The latter option features a tank that’s hidden within the wall to de-bulk your bathroom. It also adds a modern touch to the space. However, you must discuss plumbing changes with your bathroom remodeling contractor to make certain rearrangements or fixture alterations are feasible.

4. Remove the Bathtub

Eliminate the bathtub in favor of a standing shower if you lack floor space and prefer showers over baths. Showers also save water when compared to filling large tubs, especially if you install a low-flow showerhead. Consider adding a window with frosted glass to your shower stall to provide the room with more natural light. A window also promotes ventilation to discourage mold and mildew growth.

5. Rethink the Lighting

Balance harsh bathroom lighting with pendant options or adjust the lights over your vanity if they are too bright or too dim. Skylights are another natural light possibility that create a more open, airy bathroom.
