When it comes to bathroom renovation, homeowners often face one major challenge — limited space. But the good news is, with the right design choices and a professional bathroom remodel team, even the smallest bathrooms can feel open, bright, and luxurious.
At Remodeling Warriors, we’ve helped homeowners across Macomb County and Oakland County transform their compact bathrooms into modern, spacious retreats. Here are our expert tips to help make your small bathroom look bigger and more beautiful.
1. Choose Light Colors
Light colors such as white, soft gray, beige, or pale blue make a space feel airy and open. Using lighter tones on walls, tiles, and vanities reflects more light, creating the illusion of a larger room. A bathroom renovation with a simple, bright palette can instantly lift the entire space.
2. Go for a Glass Shower Door
Replacing a shower curtain with a clear glass shower door eliminates visual barriers, making the bathroom appear more open. Frameless glass showers are a top trend in modern bathroom remodels and add a sleek, elegant look.
3. Use Large Tiles
Smaller tiles can make a bathroom feel crowded. Instead, consider using large-format tiles for walls or floors. Fewer grout lines create a more seamless appearance — one of our favorite tricks for a cleaner, bigger-looking space.
4. Add Mirrors for Depth
A strategically placed mirror can make a small bathroom feel twice its size. Consider a large vanity mirror or even a full-wall mirror above the sink. Mirrors not only create the illusion of depth but also reflect light beautifully.
5. Optimize Storage
Clutter can make a small space feel even smaller. Floating vanities, recessed shelves, and built-in storage niches are excellent ways to keep everything organized without sacrificing style. Our Remodeling Warriors team can design custom storage solutions that fit perfectly with your bathroom layout.
6. Focus on Lighting
Good lighting is key to any successful bathroom remodel. Layered lighting — such as recessed lights, wall sconces, and LED mirrors — can brighten up dark corners and visually expand the space.
7. Keep It Simple
Avoid overcrowding your bathroom with too many patterns or décor pieces. Minimalist design not only looks modern but also makes your bathroom feel open and calm.
