Small Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

Do you have a small bathroom to remodel?

You might think that your bathroom is too tiny to remodel but it's surprising what can be done with a little creative effort. Don't give up on your ceramic dream bathroom yet.

Spend time designing and become one with your bathroom

Don't give up before you've started. Begin by making an accurate drawing of your bathroom on square graph paper. Take some time over this because it's important that you capture every detail. It's also a fun exercise to do.

When you are happy with the drawing of your current bathroom you should be very familiar with the size and shape of it. You will also have found all the awkward places that you will need to accomodate. You are now ready to begin designing your new bathroom layout.

You now need to draw just the outline of your bathroom ready to fit your new fixtures into it. Use a new sheet of graph paper square and be as accurate as you were with the fist drawing. On a different sheet of squared paper draw accurate scale outlines of the fixtures you would like to put in it.

Cut out the shapes that you've drawn and try to arrange them on the outline of your bathroom. Because you only have a small bathroom you might need to be creative, especially if you want to get more into your new bathroom than you had in your old one.

I have a small bathroom recently transformed

I decided to remodel my small bathroom after I dropped something hard into the bath and cracked it. I wanted to replace the old dingy stuff and put in a shower cubicle anyway so it seemed like a good idea at the time. To me this dream was ambitious because there just didn't seem to be enough space. I wasn't looking forward to the project but I'm more than pleased with it now.

Small bathroom problem solving ideas

Here are a few ideas to help you fit your new stuff into your bathroom.

The radiator doesn't have to be low down

Putting the radiator high on a wall could be an easy way to free some space at ground level.

Place the bathtub in the middle of the room

If you are struggling with where to put the bathtub you might want to think about putting it in the middle of the room instead of against a wall. There isn't any magic to this but it might be an option you hadn't considered.

Redesign the layout of the bathroom

I'm always amazed to find that I can spend hours trying out different arrangements and yet when I leave it alone for a while and come back to it later I can often spot options that I hadn't seen before. So keep playing with your paper cut-outs.

Space saving shower cubicles

Conventional shower cubicles have a square or rectangular base, which is an awkward shape in a small bathroom. Unless you are a large person you probably don't need the extra space inside the shower, which means that you can take advantage of shaped cubicles. An enclosure with a curved quadrant was perfect for my small bathroom.

Install a sliding door

A door that slides sideways flush with the wall or even into the wall itself can save a lot of space inside your bathroom.

Use wall mirrors

Putting mirrors on the walls won't make the bathroom bigger but it will make look as if it's bigger and that can make a big difference.

Install storage cupboards

Providing plenty of storage space up high means that the floor won't get cluttered with cosmetics, towels and cleaning materials.

Does this give you hope for your small bathroom remodel? Take a look at how I managed to get an additional shower cubicle into my small bathroom by clicking the link at the end of this article.
