Tips for Small Bathrooms

Posted on February 26, 2020

The bathroom can be a difficult space to know how to decorate. Especially if that space is small.
There are several ways you can maximize space in your small bathroom. Keep reading to find the best tips for small bathrooms.

1. Use a sliding glass door rather than a shower curtain. Glass helps open the space.
However, you don’t want to choose a glass door that you have to pull open and close
because this will take up more room.

2. Get a corner sink. Sinks can take up a large amount of room. A corner sink will allow
traffic to flow smoothly in your bathroom.

3. Lift the vanity off the floor. Living furniture up off the floor gives the illusion that the
space is bigger than it actually is. It also allows for more storage due to the fact that you
can now place toiletries below the vanity.

4. Have a rounded vanity instead of a square one. Square edges stick out and in small
spaces can become very annoying if you keep bumping into them.

5. Place shelf above the toilet. This is an easy way to add more storage room into the area.
Place your everyday bathroom items such as cotton balls, que-tips and lotions into glass
jars and then place decorative labels on them. Even though your items are out for
everyone to see, they will act as decorations too.

6. Place the towel bar on the back of the door. If you are working in tight conditions, this is
an easy way to better utilize your space.

7. Use a wall-mounted faucet instead of a sink. This will help free up space tremendously.

8. Have a long mirror. If this is a bathroom multiple people have to get ready in chose a
mirror long enough that two people can use it at the same time.

9. Chose large tiles with thin grout lines for the bathroom. This will help create the illusion
that the space is bigger than it actually is.

10. Avoid patterns. In a small space they can be very overwhelming to the eye and make the
space appear cluttered.

11. Pick the right paint color. Steer clear of white or any bold colors. White will cast shadows and actually make the room appear smaller. Bold colors will be too overwhelming in a small space.
