When it comes to home renovations, bathroom renovations can be especially challenging. The project becomes even more complicated if you’re renovating an older home, with an unusual layout, or you have very limited space. If you already have a full bathroom in your home, it may seem logical to sacrifice a second shower to meet your floorspace needs. However, you don’t need to do this. With careful planning, you can easily maximize the space in your tiny bathroom to fit a shower, while creating an aesthetically pleasing space you love.
Keep reading to learn the best ways for utilizing the space in your small bathroom.
Corner Showers
Designing your bathroom so that the shower is in the corner is a great way to optimize the layout of a cramped bathroom. A corner shower leaves the center of the bathroom open, providing better flow through the room and making the space feel less cramped.
Although it may seem prudent to choose a bathroom vanity with plenty of storage, a bulky cabinet will make a tiny bathroom seem even smaller. Choose a vanity with exposed legs to keep the space open. For storage, opt for baskets that can be stored beneath the vanity and open shelving to utilize vertical space.
Glass Enclosures
Utilizing glass shower enclosures are a way to create a more open and spacious feel in a tiny bathroom. They are also versatile and can complement a variety of interior design styles. Whether your bathroom has a contemporary, traditional, or eclectic theme, a glass shower can easily be tailored to suit your overall aesthetic.
Large mirrors and windows are another option to both brighten and open up a tiny space.
Curbless Showers
Curbless showers are showers without a raised threshold. The benefit of curbless showers in small bathrooms is that the uninterrupted flooring creates a seamless look, which allows for a more open and spacious appearance.
With these practical tips, even the smallest of bathrooms can achieve a balance between practicality and style. I hope these tips and ideas help you maximize the space in your own home!
