When renovating your bathroom, creating a wide, open space is ideal, but what happens if you don’t have a lot of room? Of course, you don’t want to settle for cramped and stuffy. The Bathroom Store, your local bathtub and shower installation contractor, shares some of the best solutions to these small bathroom problems.
Too Little Space for Bathroom Features
A common problem when renovating a small bathroom is an extremely tight footprint in which to include your shower, toilet and sink. A good solution is to keep the sink and toilet off ground to achieve bigger floor space. Rather than install a conventional sink or toilet, consider “floating” or wall-mounted options. This will not only help the room look and feel larger, but it’ll make cleaning easier too.
Dealing With Clutter
Finding enough storage for your toiletries, towels, commercial cleaners and other bathroom essentials can be tough within a small space. Bath renovation experts recommend installing closed shelving with doors or drawers to hide toiletries and other clutter. Mounting it above the wall or as a part of your floating sink will help the space look more organized. You can also add layers of organization inside the storage areas in the form of baskets, bins and bags.
Poor Lighting Scheme Inside a Windowless Bathroom
A small, windowless bathroom can feel dreary and claustrophobic if it doesn’t have the right lighting. Consider shaking things up with a scheme that floods light on high-activity areas like the sink and shower while also improving energy efficiency. LED downlights, for instance, light up wet areas and provide task lighting. Overhead lighting can be balanced out with some wall sconces for a softer vibe.
