Bathroom remodels are often the most common type of renovation after kitchens. This makes sense due to the fact this is a room that is used quently and one that you really can’t do without. If you have a smaller bathroom or a half bath, you might be hesitant to remodel it thinking there are not a lot of options due to its small footprint. However, providers of San Diego, CA bathroom remodeling have these ideas that prove there are still many improvements you can make no matter how small the space is.

1. Open Up The Shower

With a small space, you want to make it feel as “open” as much as you can as often as you can. One way to do this is with the shower. Having a shower that is boxed in with tile or drywall can make the space feel cluttered and smaller. Instead, consider using glass blocks or even open enclosures on some of the shower sides to allow a more “airy” feel. This open space will allow light to shine through the space as well as create a nice visual flow for the eye to follow.

2. Ditch the Tub

Sure bathtubs can be great for some families, but others may never use or even want them. If you find that your family doesn’t make use of this bathroom fixture, consider getting rid of it. This is especially true if you are in your forever home. By freeing up that space, you might be able to reconfigure some other items in your bathroom or add in some extra storage (which can always be useful!).

3. Let the Light Shine In

Small spaces feel even smaller when they are dark. Letting the light fill your small area will immediately make it feel larger than it is. The best way to do this is with natural light. If you already have a window in your bathroom, maximize the light as much as you can from it by keeping it clear of heavy and bulky window treatments. If you do not have a window, consider adding one in if at all possible. If a window is not an option, consider lighting the room up with new lighting fixtures. Installing them in key areas can do wonders to the brightness of the overall room.

4. Organization is Key

If even just a few items are out of place in a small area, the entre room looks messy and cluttered. Make sure your small bathroom has plenty of storage. Use the old adage “a place for everything and everything in its place”. We realize storage in a small space can be tricky so you might have to get creative. Things like shelves over the toilet area with pretty baskets to put items in can offer a surprisingly large amount of storage.
