Making over a small bathroom can lead to big results when it comes to the functionality of your room as well as its aesthetic appeal. Even though you may not have a lot of space to work with, you can create an ultra-functional bathroom complete with built-ins and other organizational features that help you make the most of your real estate. Once complete, a bathroom upgrade can even add value to your property, and it will certainly influence your enjoyment of your home.
Walk-In Shower
Removing a bathtub from your small shower and replacing it with a walk-in shower stall enclosed in glass can actually make your space appear larger. Because your shower stall can take up just half the space that your tub did, you’ll have additional area to work with. In that space you can add a built-in armoire, linen closet, or even a plant stand.
Overhead Cabinetry
If your bathroom is especially small, you might want to hang overhead cabinetry to make the space appear less cluttered. With cabinets, of course, you’ll still have storage space for bathroom essentials. The trick is not to place these features so high that they become too difficult for household members to access.
Slimmer Basics
You can make your tiny bathroom appear larger by swapping out features like your clunky, oversized vanity. Replace it with a pedestal sink and your room will instantly feel less cramped. Choose cabinets that are also slim and replace bulky accessories with sleek ones to maintain your less-crowded space.
Lighten Up
When redesigning your small bathroom, opt for light hues that can help make the area feel more spacious. In addition, add brighter lighting features as well. A well-lit room not only improves the functionality of the space, but it makes the small setting feel less oppressive, less closed in.
Clear the Clutter
A small bathroom can easily become cluttered. Do your best to minimize accessories in this space to keep it feeling airy and light. Unless you absolutely need certain items in the room, consider removing any objects that aren’t absolutely essential to your setting. In addition, if you have cluttered shelving, replace it with a cabinet so that your cluttered items are safely stowed behind the cabinet door.
Choose a Theme
You can create a dramatic look for a small bathroom when you opt for a thematic makeover. Consider installing some vintage fixtures and create a classic Art Déco bathroom. You can also create a bathroom with Asian flair, an island theme, or even a nautical motif. When you décor is perfectly tied together, it can do big things for your small space.
