Because the bathroom is frequently used at home, you want it to be spacious and comfortable. If your bathroom is small, you've likely thought about a renovation to provide more space for organization and everyday needs. Whether you're looking for some DIY design choices or you're ready to start knocking down walls, here is a guide that will help you best utilize the space of a small bathroom.

How Can You Maximize Your Bathroom Space?

1. Take Advantage of the Walls

Hanging shelves on the bathroom walls can become a home for toiletries such as lotions. A contractor can also mount them to include towels and washcloths, which double as bathroom decor when they're neatly rolled. Add bins to the shelves to keep smaller bottles contained and prevent the room from looking cluttered.

2. Install a Vanity

The vanity is an important feature of a bathroom, as it ties the room together and holds the sink. If you're planning to work with a general contractor on a renovation, this upgrade will provide more storage space for the bathroom as it includes a counter and a cabinet. These attributes are perfect for placing the items you like to have close by, like cleaning supplies and toilet paper.

3. Upgrade the Mirror

Consider updating the bathroom mirror if it doesn't currently provide storage. Upgrading to a dual-purpose one not only renews the look of the interior but provides a place to hold beauty products and medicine. 

It comes in an array of options, so you can find one that fits your style and budget. While some of these mirrors can be installed on your own, a general contractor can make sure the job is done properly.

4. Use Repurposed Furniture

Look through your home and at local thrift stores for small furnishings, such as shelving units or cabinets. These objects can be used in corners of the bathroom that would otherwise go unused. Paint or refinish these items to fit into the theme of your decor.
