Is your bathroom small? That is the worst, isn’t it? Unfortunately, small bathrooms are very common but you have to make the most of what space you’ve got. I have seen some creative use of space in houses I have sold, so I can tell you that there is hope! If you can’t change the square footage, a change of organization and storage space can make a drastic change to how your bathroom feels. Here are a few tips and tricks to make your bathroom space feel more functional and spacious.
Medicine Cabinet
If you have a regular mirror, replace it with one that includes a medicine cabinet and provides further storage space. Adjustable shelves are a must!
Shelving
If you have free space above your toilet, vanity, or another empty part of the wall, install shelving units. Purchase a few decorative baskets to maximize shelf space. Open shelving is very trendy and easy on the budget. Make sure you secure the shelves to a stud before loading them up!
Hooks
With a few decorative hooks, in a style of your preference, you can declutter by placing a few hooks on the back of the door to hang towels or robes. Consider placing one or two right next to each end of the shelving unit you just installed to add even more organizational space! A hook just outside the shower is a great spot for a robe or towel. Pro tip: get double hooks to max out their usage.
Towel Racks
A rack installed inside of your shower can save you space and convenience. If there is one already, adding an additional shower bar above the original will work nicely. Another idea is installing a few racks a couple of feet above each other or right next to one another. If you have an excessive amount of towels, store some of them away in a bedroom closet.
Vanity with Cabinet
I have come across plenty of pedestal sinks in small bathrooms, but if you want to save some space, add some storage, and upgrade the look of your bathroom at the same time, a vanity cabinet will definitely do the trick.
