How to Boost Space in a Small Bathroom

January 3, 2012 1:38 am

According to home improvement retailer, Lowes, smart storage and décor solutions can make the most of space in a small bathroom. Pullout drawers, built-in niches, and well-placed hooks can help create a bathroom that lives large despite its small square footage.

Starting with a clean, uncluttered design is essential in order to give your small bathroom a larger feel. Consider classic white tiles for your walls with mosaic insets to add interest and draw the eye up, which make a bathroom appear taller. Create inset shelves on shower walls to store shampoos and soaps without infringing upon shower space.

Reconfigure your bathroom closet to create sensible storage space by including organizers such as bins, baskets, and trays. A door organizer can house small toiletries, a pullout drawer puts essentials within reach, and a pullout hamper keeps towels and clothes off the floor. Think outside the box—a spice rack intended for the kitchen can be perfect for holding small bottles and jars in your bathroom.

Any bathroom, especially a small one, can never have too much towel storage. A towel rod attached to the wall behind a door offers more hanging space.

Also be sure to choose the right vanity. While deep drawers are great, they can easily become cluttered. Add trays to separate items and keep drawers organized. Also use baskets on the lower shelves of vanities to store additional towels and bathroom essentials.
