While the bathroom is one of the most practical rooms in your house—allowing you a place to bathe and get ready for the day—that doesn't mean it can't also be luxurious. However, some people find it hard to relax in a space that seems cramped. If you’re hoping to create a more open, spa-like environment, use these bathroom remodeling tips to your advantage.

How to Plan a Space-Efficient Bathroom Remodeling Project

1. Opt for a Frameless Enclosure

If you’re currently using an opaque shower curtain around your tub, you're inadvertently cutting off two or three feet of visual space. Instead, upgrade to a glass shower enclosure, which will give the illusion that your bathroom extends to the furthest wall. To help this even further, ask for a frameless enclosure, which doesn’t have any metal bars or hardware to disrupt the view.

2. Be Particular With Flooring

Lay these tiles out in a diagonal pattern to accentuate the longest dimension of the room.

3. Maximize the Light

The more natural light that bounces around a room, the grander it seems. If possible, add a window or skylight when undergoing bathroom remodeling. Choose light colors for the wall paint and tiles. Opt for glossy finishes on the floors and walls. Install a large mirror over the vanity to reflect the light that’s already there; preferably, it should extend to the ceiling.
