Stylish Options for Updating a Small Bathroom

Are you feeling stuck with a dated and drab bathroom? Or maybe a little envious of the sprawling spa-like soaking tubs and luxe walk-in showers that would never fit your tiny bathroom? Believe it or not, small bathrooms are fairly common. Outside of ritzy neighborhoods and older homes that were built before the days of indoor plumbing, the average bathroom size is just five feet by eight feet, or 40 square feet. That’s smaller than a king-size bed! The good news is that it means there are plenty of stylish options for updating smaller bathrooms.

Compact Tub Options for Small Bathrooms

A standard bathtub liner is five feet long. And that’s just a smidge too big for many small bathrooms. To solve this problem, a compact version is available in a wide range of colors and styles that are four and a half feet in length. Don’t let a small space limit your options when it comes to remodeling your bathroom. If your family needs a tub, Luxury Bath has several durable options to choose from. Also, consider walk-in tubs that offer additional accessibility while generally offering a narrower fit than a traditional bathtub.

Space-Efficient Shower Options for Small Bathrooms

It seems like showers are the default for most small bathrooms. With the smallest showers fitting a square space as small as 30-inches by 30-inches, it’s easy to see why. Between compact shower designs and neo-angled shower bases, you can fit a shower stall almost anywhere. Keep in mind that your shower space might feel a little tight if you opt for an ultra-small 30-inch square. And when it comes to creating the illusion of space, we definitely recommend a glass shower door and embracing natural light from any windows in the space.

Integrated Wall Storage Solutions for Small Bathrooms

One of the biggest drawbacks to a small bathroom is the lack of functional storage. When remodeling your small bath, take advantage of every opportunity to go vertical. That means utilizing tub and shower surrounds with molded shelving as well as adding shelving to any available wall space. While you are reimaging your small bathroom, don’t overlook a light and airy wall color, backlit mirrors, and large or multiple mirrors to make the space feel glam.
