Not all of us can retreat to expansive bathrooms with a fancy chandelier, a vanity fridge, and a jacuzzi. Still, we can all dream. Now, we may not get the celebrity bathroom aesthetic we all want, but we can always maximize our bathing space by making sure its design and function are optimized to a T.Â
Precisely why for this article, we’re jotting down the best small bathroom changes that make a big difference!
Do you really need a bathtub?
One study says bathtub baths can take up to 70 gallons of water or more, while a regular shower consumes only 25 gallons or less. That factored in, you save more water when you choose not to soak yourself in a tub. While we acknowledge the me-time bathtubs provide, they simply veer away from sustainability in the long run. They also consume a much larger space compared to a medium-sized shower area. If you’ve had a bathtub for years, finally consider ditching it. Not only will you save more water, but you also give yourself more space.Â
Clearly, getting rid of a tub isn’t something an untrained resident should do. That said, look for experts that offer bathroom remodeling services. These usually don’t take too long and are done within only a weekend. Draw the space you envision for your bathroom and ask a professional how feasible it is.Â
Choose what to store in your bathroom.
As mentioned earlier, too many drawers and cabinets only make your bathroom appear fuller. Decide what items and fixtures should remain in your this space when redesigning. If you already have a drawer in your bedroom, keep your towels there instead. Things like mops, rags, bleach, and disinfectants can be stored elsewhere, as well. The fewer the things in your bathing space, the better.Â

Bright lightning never fails.Â
Superb lighting is the answer to many of our interior problems at home, but more so in our bathrooms. Depending on how large your windows are and the geography of where it is, not too many bathrooms get natural sunlight. As a result, you’re going to want to double your efforts in making this specific space brighter than usual.Â
If you have one giant bulb to cover the entire space, consider installing one more by the mirror area. Since this is where you shave, do your make up, and brush your teeth, getting that extra ray of light makes a lot of things easier to accomplish. Although it may seem odd at first, a floor lamp is the quickest solution to brighten your space. If putting lights behind your mirror is too big of a project for you, ask help from experts and tell them what your goals are.
The bottom line with lights is that brighter rooms keep your bathroom from feeling gloomy, and where sufficient light is present, extra space feels more prevalent.Â
