Space-Saving Ideas To Consider For Your Bathroom Remodeling Project

Whether your bathroom is on the smaller side and you don't want it feeling cramped or you're just looking to make an average-sized bathroom feel a little roomier, there are a number of projects to consider. Depending on how involved you want your renovation project to be and how much money you wish to spend, your contractor can implement a variety of solutions to save space in this room. This can especially be advantageous if you share the use of the room each morning with your spouse, but even if you live alone, you'll appreciate the surplus of space. Here are some projects to consider.

Install A Doorless Shower

The installation of a doorless shower can quickly add space to your bathroom. If you have a traditional shower/tub combination unit, the walls of the tub can take up a significant amount of floor space. When your contractor pulls out the tub and begins working on a doorless shower, you'll truly realize just how bulky the tub was. A doorless shower has a floor — often made of tiles — that is gently sloped; this allows the water from your shower to collect and flow down the drain, rather than flow elsewhere in the bathroom.

Install A Narrow Bathroom Sink

The vanity in your bathroom may take up more space than you'd like, and this is especially an issue if you don't use all of the available storage. In this scenario, the depth of the vanity is a drawback, but your remodeling contractor can swap the old vanity with a narrow sink fixture. Used in many modern bathrooms, a rectangular sink positioned with the long edge against the wall will jut out into the room significantly less than your current sink. Your narrow sink can still have a vanity below it, providing the storage space your need.

Build Storage Above The Toilet

If your bathroom's storage shelf is taking up too much room, talk to your contractor about removing it and installing storage above the toilet tank. This task will free up more floor space in the room, while also making use of a part of the wall that is otherwise bare. There are a number of ways to build storage above the toilet, but a simple method is to install open shelves in this area. These can hold your towels and toiletries, making them easily accessible without compromising the room's available free space.
