A small bathroom can be challenging to remodel. However, with a functional layout, space-saving features, creative storage space, and visual tricks it can be done. Here are some budget-friendly renovation ideas worth checking out.
Practical Remodeling Ideas
Here are a few practical ideas to help make your remodeling effort worthwhile.
The Doors
Create the illusion of more space with glass shower doors, which will let more light in. If privacy is a concern, opt for frosted or textured glass. Pocket doors slide into a cavity in the wall, and no extra room is needed for a traditional swinging bathroom door.
Large Windows
Expand an existing bathroom window. The extra light will create a sense of openness and connection with the outdoors. Try installing a skylight to visually enlarge the space even more.
Stylish Sinks
A pedestal sink will free up floor space, but vanity cabinets have under-sink storage. Wall-mounted, corner, and trough sinks are space-saving but lack decent storage. Some space can be added with built-in shelves or cubbies. Choose the option that best suits your needs and the space you have.
Design Features
Visual tricks are often used to make small bathrooms look larger. Horizontal stripes visually widen a room. A tiled vanity top can add texture and interest. Geometric or uniquely shaped tiles create a focal point. Frameless glass shower doors, large mirrors, light-colored walls, and maximizing natural light also enlarge a small space. Faucets, knobs and accessories in matte black, gunmetal or brass are also appealing.
