Bathroom Remodeling 101: 7 Tips for Maximizing your Space

A well-designed bathroom remodel can create a peaceful oasis for relaxation, enhance your daily routine, and add value to your home. However, the challenge of maximizing bathroom space can be overwhelming for many homeowners. Fortunately, our pros have seven tips to help you get the most from your bathroom space.

1. Invest in wall-mounted fixtures.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to maximize space in your bathroom is to invest in wall-mounted fixtures. Wall-mounted sinks, toilets, and even storage cabinets can save valuable floor space and create a more streamlined look in your bathroom. 

2. Use mirrors strategically.

Mirrors can serve as a great tool for maximizing space. By strategically placing mirrors in your bathroom, you will add more light and create the illusion of increased space.

3. Choose light colors.

Choosing light colors for your bathroom walls, flooring, and fixtures can make a big difference in how spacious it feels. Lighter colors reflect more light and make the room feel brighter and more open. Stick with neutrals, like white, beige, or light gray, to create a timeless and airy look in your bathroom. 

4. Incorporate custom built-in storage.

Built-in storage is a great way to maximize space in your bathroom while keeping it organized. Consider installing custom cabinets or shelving in your bathroom to store toiletries, towels, and other essentials. Built-in storage not only saves space but also adds a customized look to your bathroom.

Pro Tip: Add lighting to ensure your built-in storage is well-lit and easy to use. Consider installing lights inside cabinets or shelves or adding sconces, recessed or pendant lights near the storage area.

5. Opt for a shower instead of a tub.

Showers take up less space and can be just as luxurious with the right fixtures and design. Opt for a frameless shower door to create a more open feel, and consider a curbless shower to eliminate any barriers between the shower and the rest of the bathroom.

6. Use vertical space.

Vertical space is often overlooked in bathrooms, but it can be a great way to get the most use from any space. Installing shelves or cabinets, or hanging hooks or towel bars are excellent ways to free up storage space. Be sure towel bars or racks are installed within reach of your shower or tub.

7. Work with a professional.

A home remodeling professional with experience in design and custom craftsmanship can help you assess your needs and create a bathroom that reflects your unique style and complements your home. They will also ensure your bathroom remodel is efficient, safe, and up-to-code.
