If you don’t live in a big, luxurious, and spacious house, don’t worry, because you’re not alone. If your home consists of smaller spaces, you might assume remodeling is out of the question. However, have you considered how you might change up your bathroom so that it maximizes storage space in a smarter way? As you start to think of what you might like to see, keep reading to learn a few tips that might be helpful when it comes to starting your project.
How to Remodel a Small Bathroom So It Appears Larger
There are many ways to make your small bathroom feel bigger than it really is. The first step is to find a professional who can look at the area and offer realistic expectations. With their eye for design and detail, they can offer suggestions that will open up the space yet maintain the cozy and retreat-like atmosphere you desire.
A few suggestions might be:
- Change the flooring – You can opt for larger tiles, longer rectangular tiles, or even just neutral-colored materials. These can generate a more elongated visual, making the room appear larger. They can also create a lighter, more airy space.
- Add mirrors – The eye can see various parts of the bathroom when looking in a mirror, so the space appears larger than it is. The same is true with tile or polished fixtures.
- Eliminate clutter – By choosing smarter storage options, you can eliminate the clutter and truly turn any smaller space into a much larger area.
Making Space with Smarter Storage: Tips to Use
If part of your remodeling plan is to finally say goodbye to the clutter that is making your bathroom feel cramped, consider the following smarter storage tips:
- Install floating shelves to hold decorative pieces instead of crowding your vanity.
- Use over-the-door organizers for any of your haircare products and toiletries. This is extremely helpful if you do not have cabinetry under your sink.
- Consider mounting your soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, etc., so that these items don’t take up space on your countertop.
- Use a slim-fitted rolling cart that can slide between your toilet and cabinet/vanity to hold your toiletries.
- Keep shower supplies on caddies that hang over the showerhead.
- Place extra towels and toilet paper in closets or areas outside the bathroom to avoid excess.
By adopting one or more of these helpful tips, your bathroom will become more navigable, which means that even in the smallest spaces, you can feel as if you’re walking into a relaxing, spacious retreat.
