7 Creative Ideas for a Small Bathroom Renovation
Your bathroom is small, but your vision doesn’t have to be. Add some color, style, and personality with these creative ideas for your small bathroom renovation:
Add Wall Recesses for Storage
Cabinets for Small Bath
Half Baths, Powder Rooms, Water Closets, Small Bathrooms… Whatever you call it, here are 7 creative ideas to help you make the best of this tricky space
While adding shelving is an easier approach, small wall recesses will make your bathroom appear larger. Plus, they look really cool!
Before you jump on the recess bandwagon, make sure you don’t have to move electrical lines or deal with significant structural changes. It could be more drama than it’s worth.
Use Mirrors Wisely
We love mirrors. They give off the illusion that your bathroom is larger than it is. Also, when they reflect natural light, they can brighten your space.
Consider adding LED down lights along your mirror’s edges for some drama and depth. If wall space is an issue, purchase a corner vanity with a mirror or mirrored cabinets.
Customize Your Fixtures
Your small bathroom renovation should include everything you want, right down to your faucet. Replace your showerhead, switch out the knobs on your cabinet doors, and modernize your metals by going with silver or brass. Little changes like these can make a huge impression.
Add Wallpaper or a Mural
Tired of the same boring beige walls? Add personality to your bathroom with geometric wallpaper, a scenic image of the rainforest or a beautiful beach. Turn your walls into a work of art by adding murals of works of art, like Starry Night or the Scream. Some people also blow up a black and white family photo or treasured memory. Here are a few more bathroom mural ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
Include Bright Colors
Like mirrors, lighter colors can make a space appear larger than it is. If you’re still not feeling beige, give baby blue or even a shade of orange a try. If beige or a comparable color is your thing, brighten up your bathroom with light-shaded countertops, cabinets, or a vanity.
Floating Vanities
Floating vanities are great additions to a small bathroom, because they use your vertical space. When you’re floating the vanity, your flooring can extend all the way to the wall and make your bathroom appear larger. They also give you the opportunity to place something beneath them, like a scale, a wastebasket, or whatever else you may need extra storage for.
Add Dramatic Light Fixtures
Adding a dramatic light fixture is one of our favorite ideas for a small bathroom renovation.
If you’re trying to distract from how small your space is, give your bathroom a clear focal point. Bold, bright, or funky-looking light fixtures are sure to be the star of your bathroom. They’re full of personality, and they’re fun to look at. Just don’t go overboard with your dramatic fixture, otherwise you’ll risk transitioning from cool to campy.
