It’s important to utilize every inch of bathroom space, especially if you find yourself stuck with a room that feels no larger than a shoebox. When doing a remodel in a compact bathroom, highlight each detail to entice and distract the eye from the size factor. Downsizing fixtures can help make a tiny bathroom appear more spacious and glass tiles will reflect light which can brighten an otherwise dark and stuffy area.

Bad Lighting = Uncomfortable Atmosphere. Brighten Things Up!

This bathroom is poor-lit with fluorescent lighting which doesn’t help balance the “downer” dark tile shade. Instead, consider going with brighter, more appealing glass tiles in a border or band pattern around the room to attract the eye and make the room appear larger. Installing tile can be tricky, however. For tips on installing glass tile, consult a local professional tile installer or visit with the Plumbtile experts for more helpful information on this task.

Save Some Space

Choose space saving tactics such as towel hooks installed on the back of the door instead of taking up more wall space that could be utilized in other ways. Install easily removable caddies in shower areas so that you have your products available when needed, but can easily store them away once finished. Caddies in stainless steel often will match other fixtures currently being used and easily wipe clean without much fuss. Also consider floating shelf cubbies where you can store towels and other items, while keeping floor space clear.

Just remember…

When you get down to the nitty-gritty of space constricted bathroom remodels, you will always win if you rule on the side of simplistic and chic. Don’t overdo it and you are sure to achieve a unique and convenient bathroom you will be proud to spend time in.
