Having a small bathroom doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a relaxing, beautiful space. There are many bathroom remodeling projects that let you create the illusion of more room without knocking down any walls. This will maximize the usable square footage in the area and improve its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Here are a few tips to help you do this.

3 Bathroom Remodeling Tips for Tight Spaces

1. Go for Light Colors

Light colors help make a room appear larger by reflecting natural and artificial light. This creates the illusion of a more open and airy space. White is a classic color for bathrooms. You can also go for neutral shades like beige or light gray. If you want more exciting hues that still look bright, try seafoam green, powder blue, peach, or butter yellow. You can select tiles, countertops, light fixtures, and paint in these colors to liven up the room.

2. Consider a Standing Shower

If you have an old, worn bathtub that you rarely use, trade it for a standing shower during your bathroom remodeling. Keeping a shower area instead will free up more space. Choosing clear glass for your enclosure will also make the bathroom look bigger. While a bathtub curtain creates a wall that blocks the view, glass will make the shower area look like an extension of the room.

3. Use Mirrors

Having reflective elements in the bathroom multiplies light and makes the space seem bigger. Choosing the largest mirror you can fit over the vanity, or even covering an entire wall with glass, will disguise the walls and reflect light. Reflective fixtures like chrome sinks or iridescent backsplashes create the same effect.
