For many homeowners, a small bathroom can be a frustrating part of an otherwise amazing house. Whether it’s a powder room, guest bath, or the only bathroom in the home, bathroom remodeling will help you make better use of this limited space. Here are a few tips for giving a makeover to a small bathroom.

Renovation Ideas for Cramped Bathrooms

1. Shower Curtain

When you’re dealing with a tiny bathroom, a glass shower door that swings out into the middle of the room takes up too much valuable space. Instead, outfit your bathroom with a shower-tub combo that uses a shower curtain instead. To make the space look bigger, choose a shower curtain that has a horizontal pattern to draw the eye across the room and create the impression that the space is wider than it really is. If you already have a standing shower with a swinging door, replace it with a sliding door to save space.

2. Wall Mirror

Rather than having a traditional bathroom mirror in a frame or medicine cabinet, try installing a large mirrored panel that takes up the whole wall above the sink or vanity. Not only does the reflection create the illusion of a larger room, but having more mirror space also allows multiple people to use the area at the same time. Your bathroom remodeling contractor will help you determine the best way to light this type of mirror.

3. Space-Saving Sink

The sink can take up a lot of floor space in a small bathroom, so when you’re selecting a sink for your bathroom remodeling project, consider alternatives to a standard vanity. Corner sinks and pedestal sinks are great-looking options that have much smaller footprints. If you prefer to have a vanity, choose one with open shelves, so you don’t have to worry about cabinet doors swinging into the middle of the room.
