Bathroom space can be a premium in some homes. As a homeowner with limited bathroom space, you may feel that you do not have much leeway when it comes to bathroom renovations. Although remodeling a small bathroom may seem impossible, it can actually be done. When done right, it could provide you with additional much needed space in your confined bathroom. The following are some of the ideas that you can use when embarking on small bathroom renovations.

Move the sink to the corner

Most bathrooms will have the conventional pedestal sink. In a small bathroom, this can greatly disrupt the available free space used to navigate around your bathroom. If you would like to create additional space, opt to move the sink to the corner. This can provide you with some much-needed space to accommodate foot traffic in, out and around your small bathroom.

Install a floating vanity

Another way of making your small bathroom appear bigger would be by opting for a floating vanity. This type of vanity frees up a considerable amount of floor space, as the pipes are located behind the bathroom wall. In addition to opting for a floating vanity, opt to have it rounded instead of square. Square and rectangular shapes have sharp corner, which can become a hazard to your hips in a small bathroom. With a rounded vanity, the space appears less cramped and it is not as painful if you are to bump into the vanity.

Use large-scale patterns in your bathroom

If you are installing wallpaper as part of your bathroom renovation, do not use small prints. These will make your walls appear busy, which in turn will make the space appear more cramped. Instead, opt for larger prints or wide-spaced patterns. These create an illusion of expanded space in your bathroom. The wallpaper may not actually provide you with additional space, but it will play a role in improving the overall visual aesthetics of the room.

Mount a large mirror

Another way of making your bathroom appear larger than it is by expanding the bathroom mirror. If you have empty vertical space in your bathroom, cover it up with a large mirror. The mirror will reflect a significant part of your bathroom, which works to creating the illusion of a larger room. In addition to this, a mirror will reflect the light in your bathroom. The enhanced illumination also works toward making the bathroom appear bigger than it really is.
