Even the smallest bathrooms can be turned into efficient, comfortable, and visually appealing spaces. In space-constrained environments, a kitchen and bathroom remodeling can create multi-purpose elements that provide more value than single-function items. Here are a few ways to maximize space in a bathroom remodel:
Install a Wall-Mounted or Floating Vanity
Vanities mounted on the wall give the impression of space by showing more of the floor underneath. Secure wall anchoring is required for the installation process to support the weight of the vanity and countertop. Proper installation includes finding where the wall studs are and then installing a strong mounting bracket before hanging the cabinet. Compact bathrooms are enhanced visually during kitchen and bathroom remodeling by floating vanities.
Incorporate Recessed Storage Niches
Recessed niches are used for storage within the cavity between wall studs without taking up space in the room. Finishing options include tile, stone, or painted surfaces that fit the bathroom design. Visual interest is created by multiple small niches that house different categories of bathroom items in the space. Above or within nooks, recessed lighting can be added to highlight contents and provide ambient effects. Electrical wiring or plumbing lines running through the walls may need to be adjusted for customized niches.
Choose Space-Saving Fixtures
Wasted corner spaces are used to install corner sinks, which provide enough hand-washing functions for smaller bathrooms. Narrower vanity countertops are possible with wall-mounted faucets, while the space around the sink is more accessible for cleaning. In extremely small spaces, combination units that include multiple functions, such as toilet-sink combinations, are the most efficient.
Slim ceiling fans can be used to achieve proper ventilation rather than bulky wall-mounted units. Tankless water heaters mounted outside the bathroom use the storage space that traditional models require. A mirror with a cabinet inside will provide a place to put small items.
Extend Storage Vertically
Floor-to-ceiling cabinets take advantage of every square inch of storage space while using minimal valuable bathroom floor space. Over-toilet storage units take advantage of unused vertical space in the bathroom layout. Adjustable shelving systems are customizable as storage needs change. Everything from small toiletries to bulky towel stacks is accommodated in tall storage units with various compartment sizes.
Incorporate Multi-Functional Elements
Integrated vanity sides eliminate the need for separate wall-mounted storage fixtures and towel bars. In minimal spaces, toilet paper holders with small shelves hold extra rolls. Toiletries are displayed in shower niches that feature slight slopes that drain water.
Integrated sinks in the vanity top eliminate seams where water and dirt collect over time. LED lights built into medicine cabinets remove the need for separate vanity lights and outlets. A heated towel rack is a unit that combines drying, warming, and storing bath linens.
Schedule Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling
Smart bathroom design maximizes limited square footage with strategically placed fixtures and innovative storage solutions. Reflective surfaces and adequate light cooperate to make the space feel bigger. Bathrooms that seem spacious despite limited dimensions result from thoughtful planning during the remodeling process.
