Not every bathroom can be expansive, but that doesn't mean you can't make efficient use of every square inch. When a bathroom has space limitations, a little creativity is all that's necessary to create a refuge that is not only functional, but also comfortable, attractive, and easy to maintain. Here are a few bathroom remodeling ideas for small spaces.

How to Remodel a Small Bathroom

1. Add a Window

A window opens up a room and makes it feel larger. If exterior-facing wall space is limited, even a small window can transform a tiny bathroom and give the impression of a bigger space. To maximize this, hang a mirror on the wall opposite the window. This will reflect the natural light coming in and create an even greater sense of openness.

2. Install a Glass Shower Door

When planning your small bathroom remodeling, forgo shower curtains in favor of a glass shower door. Glass naturally extends sightlines, lending a more expansive air to a room. By contrast, shower curtains hinder the space even more, partitioning it up into smaller sections and creating a claustrophobic atmosphere.

3. Choose Light Colors

As you consider color options for the new bathroom, aim for lighter shades. These colors reflect more light, which creates the feeling of a larger, airier room. Choose softer colors for the sink, shower and tub tiles, wall paint, and bathroom accessories.

If you plan to hang curtains around the bathroom window, select a similarly light color, as minimal color contrast will make the room look wider. Also, go for longer curtain panels to make the ceiling seem higher.
