Choose a patterned floor

Whether you know this or not, you can even save those difficult windowless small bathrooms. If that’s the case for you, you’re lucky because we have the solution! Tall mirrored medicine cabinets with a glass shower will only amplify the light from interior fixtures, which will automatically brighten up the whole space.

You can use built-in cabinets to save additional floor space, and if you’re really open to something creative, a herringbone wood floor will give you the illusion of a warmer bath.

Add a shower niche

If you’re looking for another big space saver, you can try a shower niche; especially if you’re designing a small bathroom, you might want to make sure you include a shower niche in your plans.

Use a ledge to create more space

A narrow ledge in front of the mirror is the ideal perch for a plant, toothbrush, and many other essentials.

Move that towel bar

A towel bar is oftentimes fastened to the side of the floating sink, especially since this is one of the best tricks to try for a small bathroom.

Rethink the whole sink

If you’re designing a small bathroom from nothing, then you might want to go with a tiny corner sink because this is one of the handiest and simplest small bathroom options. There’s no rule that dictates you always have to own a full-size standard sink, and if you ask me, a corner sink might get the job done just as well. Besides, it will give you tons of space and less to clean.

    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!
