Maximizing a Small Bathroom Space: 3 Design Tips



Wide, open spaces in bathrooms are ideal but what happens when you don’t have a lot of room to begin with? Does that mean cramped and stuffy is the only way to go? Of course not! The home remodeling experts at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington have the following small bathroom design tips you can take advantage of:

  • Strip the walls. Strip anything that sticks out from walls, especially if you have a narrow bathroom. This may mean doing away with a towel bar on the wall and mounting it behind the door instead, or opting for built-in magazine racks and toilet paper holders. Doing so will make your bathroom look more streamlined, imparting a feeling of greater spaciousness.

  • Opt for a clear shower enclosure. This will help eliminate a lot of visual clutter, helping your bathroom to feel less cramped even without knocking down a wall. Your shower fixtures will also be on display so you can take this opportunity to use them as key visual components, adding to your bathroom’s appeal without taking up more space than necessary.

  • Create the illusion of space with the right lighting. To make it appear as if you have higher ceilings, use cove lighting or wall sconces, directing light vertically to achieve the effect. If you have a narrow bathroom, you can focus lighting on one wall to make it look like you have a more open area.
