8 Practical Tips to Remodel a Small Bathroom

Planning to remodel your small bathroom but running out of ideas? No worries! This article will help. 

No matter if you want to make minor upgrades or completely renovate, a bathroom remodel can transform the whole look and feel of the space. 

However, hiring a professional for the average bathroom remodel can cost you around $15,000. But, you can DIY small renovations for several hundred dollars to turn your bathroom remodeling dream into reality.

Below is a list of 8 practical ideas to remodel your small bathroom. 

Set a Budget Wisely

The first and most important component of your bathroom remodel is setting up a budget. Make a budget intelligently and realistically. 

Also, when deciding on a budget, it is important to leave some extra. That’s because you never know when some unexpected needs may arise and lead to an increase in cost.

Color Scheme is Important

Choosing an appropriate color scheme can spice up the entire ambiance of your bathroom. 

It is obvious that white makes the space look bigger, which is why many bathroom designers recommend it. 

However, other colors such as aqua, yellow, pearl grey, icy blue, and soft green are also trendy nowadays. They can make your small bathroom appear bigger. 

You also want to make sure that the color scheme matches the décor and fixture of your bathroom. 

Big Tiles for Small Bathrooms

If your bathroom flooring has small format tiles, consider replacing them with big format tiles during your bathroom remodel. It is because big tiles can make a small bathroom look bigger and wider. 

For small bathrooms, ceramic and porcelain tiles are an excellent option. They are bright, seamless, durable, easy to clean, water-resistant, slip-resistant, and cheap.

Create Storage Space Wisely

As a small bathroom has limited storage space, think carefully about how you want to incorporate storage into your design. 

Consider hanging towels and robes on racks behind doors. You may also consider hanging pouches over the doors to store small things like brushes, bottles, and tissue papers. It also makes a brilliant idea to place medicine cabinets on the walls between the studs. 

Use Curves and Corners

Adding a curved shower and corner cabinets makes a practical idea for bathrooms with limited space. 

With curved corners, you get quite a bit of space and a non-rectangular design shape that stands out. 

Glass Door Instead of Shower Curtains

If your bathroom includes only one shower stall, consider including a glass door. You can partially remove a wall to replace it with a glass door. 

Consider getting a transparent and frameless glass door as it can make your space look bigger and more seamless. 

A shower door also lets natural light travel through it, making your space look brighter. 

If the glass door is not an option for you, consider using transparent shower curtains that let natural light in.

Install a Wall-Mounted Toilet

Using wall-mounted toilets with oversized floor tile is an effective way to maximize the small bathroom space. 

These toilets hang on the wall rather than sitting flush against the wall. They are far more space-efficient and look fantastic.

Use Big Mirrors

You can add a super-large mirror to extra-small spaces. It will instantly give the bathroom a more dramatic look and feel besides making it seem bigger.

It is always exciting to remodel your bathroom to the space you have been dreaming of. If you are still not sure how to do it right, feel free to reach out to us at (insert ph). We will be happy to help!
