The best plan of attack is:-
- to reimagine the room,
- bring in elements that celebrate its minute size
- work with its limitations.
The main point you need to remember is that you don’t need to remodel a small bathroom in order to get the spa space of your dreams. You just have to rethink the bathroom’s basics.
Pick products sized for your space
If your knees hit the cabinets when you’re on the throne, it means that maybe the toilet and cabinets are too big for the space. Installing incorrectly sized toilets, sinks and tubs in a small space can make it hard for you. You can consider getting a toilet with a round bowl instead of an elongated one or go for a mounted, wall-hung bowl. Round bowls tend to be smaller. Wall-mounted toilets feel like less of a space waster because of the open floor underneath.
Install a floating vanity
Create a trompe-l’oeil effect to make the footprint of your bathroom feel larger. Save some serious space beneath your sink. This can be done with a floating vanity. When your floor space extends all the way to the wall under the cabinet, you will be rewarded with more space and also, openness.
Get rid of the bathtub
When you have young children, a tub is nonnegotiable. If there are only adults, a full tub may be taking up valuable space. To make a small bathroom function like a larger one, reclaim some open space by installing a shower that’s properly sized for the room. You can opt for a barrier-free shower/one with glass shower doors. When there are no visible walls it will immediately make the space feel more open. Opaque curtains can feel wall-like. Adding walls is the last thing you want to do in a small loo.
Add a wall-mounted medicine cabinet
Medicine cabinets provide extra storage for small items. This is a great option for narrow bathroom storage. You’ll keep your precious counter space free. It will be clear of personal items that could crowd the area and make it feel cluttered and small.
Add hooks for additional storage in your small bathroom
If your bathroom is so small, adding towel racks presents a problem. Therefore, you can install hooks. One for every person in your home should suffice since multiple items—towels, clothes, bathrobes—can fit on one.
