Remodeling a small bathroom can be challenging.
That’s why today, we want to share our top seven small bathroom remodeling tips that can help you make the most out of the limited space that you have:
Bathroom Remodeling Tip #1: Install a Doorless Walk-In Shower
Doorless walk-in showers are the best option for small bathrooms because they take up the least amount of space.
Moreover, if you use a glass shower wall to separate the shower from the rest of the bathroom, it can help create a more open feel and contribute to a modern bathroom aesthetic.
Finally, they have fewer nooks and crannies than regular showers, which makes them much easier to clean!
Bathroom Remodeling Tip #3: See if You can Add a Shower Niche and Wall Niches
Shower niches are becoming increasingly popular because they provide a convenient storage space for keeping soap, shampoo, and other toiletries that you use in the shower.
Wall niches are gaining popularity as well because they take up less space and look more modern than various other storage options.
Niches are especially useful in small bathrooms because they can help maximize space and reduce visual clutter!
Bathroom Remodeling Tip #4: Invest in Custom Cabinetry Designed to Maximize Storage Space
Custom cabinetry is more expensive than pre-fabricated cabinetry, but it’s the optimal solution for small bathrooms where every inch of space matters.
Consider investing in a custom:
Bathroom Vanity
Interior designers often recommend having a wall-mounted sink instead of a regular sink with a vanity because it can help create a more open, modern aesthetic.
This is a trade-off that you will have to make: if you want more storage space, go with the vanity; if you want a more open look and feel, go with the wall-mounted sink with nothing underneath.
Medicine Cabinet
A medicine cabinet is a great way to utilize the space above the sink.
It’s the best option for storing items that you use daily, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotions, razors, and so on, without creating visual clutter.
Note that despite its name, it’s inadvisable to keep medication in the medicine cabinet due to high humidity in the bathroom!
Set of Bathroom Shelves
An over-the-toilet bathroom shelf can work well in a small bathroom.
You might also want to add an above-the-door bathroom shelf, which can provide storage space for keeping clean towels.
Bathroom Remodeling Tip #5: Consider Keeping Some of the Bathroom Items Right Outside the Bathroom
If you have a particularly tiny bathroom, you might have to limit the storage space inside it to a vanity and a medicine cabinet, which should be enough to store your essential toiletries.
In that case, consider putting a simple, pre-fabricated cabinet right outside the bathroom, so that you could use it to store clean towels and anything else you might want to keep handy.
Bathroom Remodeling Tip #6: Make Sure That the Bathroom Door Opens Outward
This is an important, yet often overlooked detail.
If your bathroom door opens inward, you won’t be able to place anything within its opening range, which will reduce the amount of space available to you.
However, if your bathroom door opens outward, you won’t have this problem and will be able to utilize space more effectively.
Bathroom Remodeling Tip #7: Hire a Reputable Bathroom Remodeling Company For Your Project
Look…
We’ll admit that we are biased here since we are a bathroom remodeling company.
But in our view, if you have never remodeled a small bathroom before, finding a reputable bathroom remodeler in your area and hiring them to do it for you is likely the best course of action. Why?
Because remodeling a small bathroom requires a solid understanding of interior design principles, careful project planning, and precise execution. There’s very little room for error —literally!
Of course, if home improvement is your passion and you want to challenge yourself with such a demanding project, then go for it. You will definitely learn a lot, there’s no doubt about that.
But if all you want is to have a functional bathroom that also looks aesthetically pleasing, then hiring an experienced remodeler is your best bet!
