When you're updating your bathroom's design, you may not have much floor space to work with. To keep the room functional and attractive, it's important to use your available area wisely. Below are five tips that will help you improve a small bathroom’s interior design elements while making the most of every square foot.

5 Ways To Revamp a Cramped Bathroom

1. Reconsider Your Bathtub

A bathtub takes up a lot of space, and it isn't necessary for a lot of modern interior designs. Ask yourself whether you're likely to miss it. If not, opt for a shower, which has a smaller spatial footprint and will leave more room to work with.

2. Eliminate Your Shower Door

A swinging shower door needs a large amount of clear floor space to open. For greater flexibility, choose a shower curtain, which takes up no extra space and is easy to install. A sliding door is a little more complex and may not be an option for all shower stalls, but it offers a sleek, seamless look.

3. Set Storage Into the Walls

Cabinets play an important role in a bathroom’s functionality. To make them as large as possible without crowding the room, ask your contractor to set the cupboards further back into the wall. This produces a few crucial inches of extra space.

4. Choose a Large Mirror

While bigger mirrors can’t make a room larger, they help your bathroom feel more open and will improve its overall look. Choose one which effectively fills the available wall area and meshes with your interior design plans for the room.

5. Plan Your Sink & Vanity Design

Your sink can interrupt traffic in the bathroom if it's placed poorly, so try to find an out of the way corner where you can set it. Then choose a sink with a small footprint. A faucet set in the wall instead of the counter allows you to move the sink back a few inches, while opening up space underneath with a floating or pedestal design makes it easier to move around the room.
