Want to find ways to save space in a small bathroom? A small restroom can be just as functional as a large one when space is maximized. The picture above is a great example of how a functional bathroom can also be aesthetically pleasing.

The single sink bathroom vanity is slender and elongated, which saves space in a narrow bathroom. The elongated sink allows for plenty of space to place bathroom essentials. The vanity includes several drawers for storage and a bottom shelf to hold additional restroom essentials, such as towels. This restroom has limited room, so the top of the toilet was utilized as a shelf. When trying to maximize space it’s always a good idea to get creative.

Free up tub clutter by installing a shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispenser on the interior shower wall. If remodeling is an option, be sure to include a recessed shelf to hold additional bottles or needed shower items. No one wants to hit bottles on the side of the tub frame when getting in and out of the tub.

Also consider lighting when designing a restroom. Positioning light in the right places can make a small room appear larger. The restroom pictured has plenty of light due to the natural light coming in through the horizontal window and the recessed lighting over the tub. Recessed lighting takes up minimal room while providing needed light.

It is important to maximize space in a bathroom, but who doesn’t want a luxurious bathroom as well. Add elegance to a bathroom by choosing sleek fixtures and matching hardware. The bathroom featured incorporated some flair by picking an ornate floor tile. Remember, a small bathroom can be luxurious and feel spacious when incorporating the right materials.
