Small bathrooms can seem like they don’t offer much remodeling potential. However, with some creativity, you can transform them into beautiful spaces. There are many ways to utilize the given space to redefine these areas with a designer and plumber, and below are a few popular ideas to inspire you.

Ways to Remodel a Small Bathroom

1. Take Advantage of Corners

You can use tight corners for more than hiding away a plunger or magazine basket. Instead, try placing a jutting bathroom sink there. You’ll free up space to move around and can add a storage cabinet beneath. If the area is too tight for a sink, or a plumber cannot reroute the piping, you can add a thin, tall cabinet stack to increase storage.

2. Install Hanging Fixtures

With these bathrooms, you cannot waste space, so consider hanging whatever you can. A hanging toilet or sink opens up valuable storage area beneath. You can also leave these areas empty to make the bathroom appear larger. A plumber can attach the necessary fixtures to run water to these areas.

3. Use Tiles Strategically

The right bathroom tiles can create the illusion of space. Use larger tiles on the floor, rather than small ones, to make the square footage look bigger. In the shower, extend tiling all the way to the ceiling for the same effect. You can add decor by creating a mosaic or pattern on the tiling, or using multi-colored tiles to contrast with the colors of your walls.

4. Get Creative With Lighting

Never underestimate the power of lighting. Cove and recessed lights are perfect for making ceilings look higher. If you have a long, narrow bathroom, position them to illuminate the back wall most to create visual space. You should opt for bright light-emitting diodes (LED) fixtures that will illuminate dark areas that make bathrooms look cramped.
