If you have a small bathroom, you aren’t forever relegated to a cramped space that’s difficult to navigate. Remodeling the room can make all the difference. From implementing strategic design changes to reconsidering the residential plumbing setup, there are several effective differences you can make. Here’s what you should know.

How to Remodel a Small Bathroom

1. Install Minimalist Fixtures

Sinks tend to occupy quite a bit of space in small bathrooms. Ask your residential plumbing contractor about reconfiguring the sink to fit in the corner of the room. This is a particularly smart option if the bathroom is especially small, and you want to create as much walking space as possible.

Another option is a small recessed sink, which can shave off a few inches and make it easier to pass by. You can even ask about installing a wall-hung toilet instead of a traditional style. The effect will lend the bathroom an airy, more open appearance.

2. Keep Plumbing to One Side

It’s difficult to make sense of a small space when the fixtures are situated in different parts of the room. Have your residential plumbing contractor install a toilet on the same wall as your sink to free up an entire wall. You can leave that side free to create enough room to move or add an open shelf or two for storage.

3. Focus on Creating Light

The lighter and brighter the space, the larger it will appear. You can accomplish this in several ways, starting with your color scheme by opting for airy hues, like crisp white, cool blue, or mint green. Then add as large a mirror as possible to create the illusion of a larger room. You can also install bright lighting in subtle fixtures to flood the space.
