Even when a bathroom is small, you can still design a space that looks and feels large. Plus, you can create a beautiful yet functional room while sticking to a reasonable budget. Here’s what you need to know before starting your residential remodeling project.

A Guide to Remodeling a Small Bathroom

1. Add Light

Make a dark bathroom look and feel larger by expanding the window. The extra light will make the space appear airier and spa-like, as well as highlight the details of the remodel. Another option is to put in a skylight, a feature that will add luxury and elegance. Additionally, paint the walls light, neutral colors, such as off-white or beige, to ensure they reflect the lighting.

2. Put in a Pedestal Sink 

Adding a pedestal sink will open up the floor space, making the room appear larger. However, keep in mind that this option will limit storage space, as sinks normally have cabinetry below. Instead, install open shelving close by, or go with cabinets that are 16 inches rather than the traditional 21 inches. To create an elegant look, hide the sink plumbing by choosing a larger base. 

3. Install a Glass Shower Enclosure

A bathtub and shower combination can take up a lot of room. Reduce the sense of size by putting in a clear, frameless glass enclosure. Because there’s no supporting frame, you’ll need to choose thicker glass, which can be a little more expensive. If you want to add detail and change the look of the room, include a unique texture or pattern. Keep in mind that you’ll need to clean the enclosure daily to ensure the glass remains clear.
