Whether for resale or personal reasons, bathrooms are the second most popular room to renovate in the home. 

It makes sense too. It's a space that can look dirty if not well maintained or dated. And no one wants a dirty looking bathroom.

If it feels like it's time to renovate your bathroom, but you feel limited by the size of your bathroom and your bathroom renovation budget, you need this article.

Check out our best small bathroom ideas to make the most of your space!

Wall-Hung Furniture

The most important thing to keep in mind while planning a small bathroom design is maintaining floor space. Always consider building upward instead of outward (it's the same rule for additions). Bathroom floor and wall space are not created equal, and floor space is definitely a more sought after commodity.

For this reason, you can't overestimate the importance of wall-hung furniture. Shelves can always take up more space on the wall without encroaching on floor space which you'll want to keep open for the important furniture and bathmats. 

Consider also exactly how much wall hanging space you'll need. How many of the things do you keep in your bathroom that actually need to be kept there? Some creams, lotions, and perfumes actually do better in less humid locations. So, it's worth considering moving some of your beauty products out of the bathroom. It'll help save space.

Frameless Shower

The sleek, minimalist look of a frameless shower makes it perfect for a smaller bathroom space. They often don't actually take up less space, but the lack of the frame makes it look less bulky inside a small bathroom.

Frameless showers with a glass door also create a pretty unique illusion. If you can get a non-frosted glass door, you'll be able to see straight into the shower. By not breaking the line of sight and displaying the whole space at once, the bathroom will feel larger even though you won't actually go in the shower except to use it.

Furniture Size

Do you know how wide the range is for the size of bathroom furniture? Even toilets don't come in one standard size! There is specially sized small bathroom furniture.

Of course, comfort comes first. You don't want to get anything that's so small that you aren't comfortable. Make sure that your toilet is pleasant to sit on, that your hands really fit in your sink, and that you can stand up straight and still be immersed in your shower. 

But once you've found the smallest fit that's still comfortable. Go for it! Not only will it take up less space, but it'll also look more right comparatively inside the small space. You don't want it to look like your furniture is trying to escape.
