Choose a glass shower door

If you’re just starting your small bathroom design from scratch, you might want to consider scrapping the curtain altogether. We also recommend glass shower doors in a small bath because they might open up the entire space.

Remove the shower door altogether

If you feel even more adventurous than that, there’s another thing you might want to try: you could remove all the shower doors altogether. This way, you’ll definitely maximize all the space you have on hand in your small bathroom. If that’s something that appeals to you, then you might want to consider adding a good drain. You know, so you won’t get stuck with another problem soon.

Backlight the mirror

This could be a very chic and modern method to amplify your light. Also, if you don’t have enough room for sconces or you simply want a more minimalistic look, this is the way to go.

Take on tiles

Tiles are definitely a great and durable way to add something with a bit of impact, and they can also be used from floor to ceiling. And here’s another thing that goes hand in hand with small bathrooms: small ceramic tiles. According to one of our favorite designers, Suzanne McGrath, using one-by-four and two-by-six floor tiles is probably one of the best things you could do for your bathroom walls.

    These are some very good ideas and I can’t wait to run them by my wife to see what she thinks. We have always had a small bathroom in every place we’ve lived over the years and now we have enough $ that we can do something about it. After almost 48 years together I believe it’s time for us to splurge a little and do something that we both will like!
    Thank You Guy’s For The Good Ideas!
