1. Plan Your Layout

Before you start the makeover, it is essential to plan your layout. Consider your bathroom’s current layout and think about how you can maximise the available space. Identify which areas could be used more effectively and plan to utilise those areas to your advantage.

2. Choose Space-Saving Fixtures

Space-saving fixtures are an excellent option for small bathroom renovations. There are several fixtures available that are designed specifically for tight spaces, including compact toilets, pedestal sinks, and corner showers. These fixtures not only maximise the area but also add a touch of style.

3. Use Light Colours

When renovating a small bathroom, it’s best to use light colours on walls, floors, and ceilings. Light colours make a space look bigger, brighter, and more spacious. Whites, creams, and light greys are popular colour choices for tight spaces.

4. Add Mirrors

Mirrors are an excellent addition to any tight space, especially a small bathroom. As they reflect light, this can give off the idea that the room appears to have more space than it actually does. You can do this by installing a large mirror on one wall or multiple small mirrors. The larger the mirror, the better it can expand the room.

5. Choose the Right Lighting

Lighting is the best way to create an illusion of more space in a small bathroom. It is best to use natural light as much as possible. If your bathroom doesn’t have windows, you can consider installing a skylight. You can even add wall sconces, pendant lights, or recessed lighting to brighten up the space.

6. Install Shelves and Cabinets

When it comes to storage, installing shelves and cabinets is the best option. Consider utilising the space above your toilet or sink to install a cabinet or floating shelves. It’s also a good idea to invest in creative storage solutions that can be tucked away, such as built-in niches and medicine cabinets.

7. Choose Textured Tiles

Textured tiles add depth and dimension to a small bathroom. This could be done by using tiles with a three-dimensional pattern or texture on one wall to create a focal point. You can also use tiles with a pattern or texture on the floor to draw the eye down and create an illusion of more space.

8. Use Decorative Accents

When decorating a small bathroom, choosing decorative accents that will not overpower the space is critical. Consider adding pops of colour with towels, rugs, or artwork. Also, consider using decorative baskets or jars to store toiletries and keep the space clutter-free.

9. Keep It Simple

When renovating a small bathroom, it’s best to keep things simple. Avoid cluttering the space with too many accessories or decor items. Stick to a minimalistic design and use small accents to add character to the room.
