Remodeling a room can feel tricky when your square footage is limited. However, just because the space is small doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of it and create a beautifully designed room. Below are helpful bathroom remodeling suggestions to make tight quarters feel like the perfect fit.

How to Remodel a Small Bathroom

1. Install a Mirrored Medicine Cabinet

This saves space in two ways. First, since mirrors reflect and amplify natural light, they create the illusion of a larger space. Second, medicine cabinets are an optimal way to store bathroom supplies without having to take up too much room. 

2. Consider a Corner Sink    

Corner sinks are compact, fitting seamlessly in tight spaces. They also take up less floor space than most standard sinks. Installing a corner sink will leave more room on walls to allow for shower, toilet, and sink space. A small corner vanity beneath will conceal plumbing and provide storage opportunities.  

3. Choose a Light Color Palette   

Dark colors can make rooms look tight and claustrophobic. Stick to light neutral tones like white, ivory, or beige to make your space feel airy. If you’d like to incorporate a splash of color, opt for pastel shades of pink, blue, or yellow. Keep the walls simple. Slim vertical stripes or hexagonal tiles can add visual interest, but avoid intricately patterned tiles or printed wallpaper, as these can make the room feel busy and constrictive.  

4. Don’t Use a Shower Door

Shower doors need opening and closing, which can be tricky to navigate in a small space. Instead, use a sliding glass door or shower curtains so you have more room to maneuver. 

5. Use Open Shelving 

If you don’t have much storage space, use open shelving on your walls for your bathroom remodeling to store towels and bath products. Not only does open shelving help maximize your space, but it also gives you easy access to grab items. You can even embed niches in the wall to create a seamless look.
