Having a small bathroom can be challenging at times. However, thanks to a few smart designs, you can remodel your small bathroom so that it feels and looks more spacious. Due to the limited space, everything in your bathroom must have a definite purpose. Functionality is the key to remodelling a small, but efficient, bathroom.

Be Smart With Storage

One of the best ways to declutter your small bathroom is by replacing old, large cabinets with open shelves. These shelves will take up much less of the bathroom space, while providing close to the same amount of storage capabilities. Moreover, you can stack more shelves, depending on your needs.

Similar to open shelves are storage ladders. Although they use up a bit more space, storage ladders can be successfully used to increase your storage space without really decreasing the free area of your bathroom. You can use storage ladders to deposit your towels and containers. The top shelf of the storage ladder can be used to hold scented candles.

Naturally, every bathroom has a sink. If you haven’t used the space beneath your sink yet, it’s time to maximize your storage options. You can either build a small cabinet that doesn’t take too much space, or you can build a couple of shelves and cover them with a sink curtain. Either way, you’ll have a private storage area for your more intimate products.

Keep It Functional

Because of the limited space, you’re going to have to maximize the functionality of every furniture item in your small bathroom. If you haven’t installed shelves under your sink, you can utilize this space to install a small laundry hamper. This will declutter your bathroom by allowing you to store clothes and towels in the same place.

If you have cabinets hanging from the walls, invest in a couple of stackable baskets that you can place beneath the cabinets. The baskets can be used in various situations, so once you’ve bought them, you can easily figure out their purpose. An alternative would be to install these stackable baskets above your washing machine.

Use Colors

Color can create the illusion of depth, thus creating the illusion of a larger bathroom. Whether you paint the walls, the furniture, or the items that are stored in plain sight, a wide color palette will definitely add style to your newly remodelled bathroom.

Using colorful floor and wall tiles can add a bit of vibrance to the bathroom. Furthermore, hanging colored hand towels and bathrobes on your bathroom door can save you some space, while also adding a splash of color. If you’re into more sophisticated designs, you can paint the mirror frame in a bold color that would bring contrast to the room.
