Having a small bathroom may be a challenge for many homeowners, but it is not impossible to fit everything you need into the space comfortably. With a few design tips from our leading bathroom remodelers, you can achieve a highly functional and stylish bathroom that won't look cramped. Let's go over some of our favorite ways to make a small bathroom feel big in Knoxville and Nashville.

Vertical Space

If you can't build out, build up. One of the most underutilized spaces in many bathrooms is vertical space along the walls. While there are elements of your bathroom that aren't movable like the shower, toilet, and vanity, there are things that we can adjust for more space.

By removing any bulky storage spaces including low shelves, cabinets, or closets, you can free up leg room for moving around the space more easily. Simply replace your old storage with an above-the-toilet storage unit, add hooks on the back of the door, and install a medicine cabinet to make the bathroom feel larger.

Color Psychology

One of the biggest rules when decorating a small space is to use light colors and a limited palette. When it comes to a bathroom, this couldn't be more true. Simply repaint your bathroom walls in a light color to make the space feel instantly larger. Another technique you can use is to replace your floor mats with colors that blend into the flooring to make the design feel more cohesive and clean.

Glass and Mirrors

Another huge technique that homeowners can use to make their bathrooms feel larger is to use mirrors to add a sense of depth. Mirrors can be placed above your vanity and along open areas of your walls to create an illusion of more space. Glass can enhance the effect of mirrors when used in your shower design and light fixtures.

Reconfigure the Space

While working with a small bathroom is mostly about space-saving techniques and visual illusions, there are more serious ways to make the space more functional. During your full bathroom remodel, choose space-saving fixtures to make better use of the space. Some examples include the following:

  • Corner Showers
  • ​Roll-In Shower Bases​
  • Sliding Glass Doors
  • Shower/Tub Combo Units
  • Vanity with Built-In Storage
