Space Saving Tips for Your Bathroom Remodel

A small bathroom may present some organizing challenges, but planning for extra storage when creating a bathroom remodel makes it easier to keep the area free of clutter. Make use of corners, wall space and space under the vanity. These design elements can be built into the room by installing cupboards or a new shower, or they can be added as decorative elements to cut costs without sacrificing style. Bathroom remodeling provides an opportunity to design a space that's suited to your lifestyle and your family's needs.

Very Small Bathroom Remodel Tips

When you're working with a small bathroom, plan to take advantage of every bit of available space in cupboards and drawers. If you don't have room for traditional cupboards, consider adding free-standing corner cupboards to hold bath towels and grooming supplies. Pull-out organizers on shelves under the vanity or a lazy susan to hold cleaning supplies let you fill the space to capacity without making the shelves appear cluttered.

The wall space in a small bathroom is also a good place to add some organizing accessories when you're remodeling, but be sure to leave a few feet of open wall space around each shelf or hanging basket.

Affordable Bathroom Remodel Tips

According to Home Advisor, average prices for bathroom remodel projects range from $2,500 up to $25,000 with average costs coming in at around $10,000. If you're trying to plan a low-cost bathroom remodel, consider only replacing the items necessary and focusing instead on decorative elements. For example, refinishing cabinets costs a fraction of the amount you would spend to have new cabinets installed.

If you want to replace the major bathroom elements, such as the bathtub and toilet, look for features that'll endure so you can consider them long-term investments. Also, consider a water-saving toilet, such as Consumer Reports' number one-rated water-saving toilet, the American Standard Champion 4 Max.

Take Advantage of a Bathroom Remodel Design Tool

A bathroom remodel design tool creates a visual of how your remodeled bathroom will look. To use one of these tools, enter the dimensions of your bathroom and then place the bathtub or shower stall, toilet and sinks. The tools let you check the appearance of different styles to see how everything looks together. Placing these design elements in the bathroom also lets you check out the remaining space.

Design tools also let you incorporate features like extra cabinets, different lighting styles and plants. Seeing the 3D model of everything you plan to use when decorating your remodeled bathroom makes it easy to decide if you're making the best possible use of your available space.

Bathroom Remodel Layout Ideas

Take measurements of the room before you get too far in planning your bathroom shower remodel project. Having the exact measurements gives you important information that you need when creating a floor plan. If the room is small, it helps you choose space-saving elements, such as a smaller tub, corner shower stall and vanity.

If your bathroom is large, having the exact measurements helps when choosing a tub, built-in wall cupboards and a vanity that are big enough to balance the space. Consider adding floor-to-ceiling cupboards to your remodeling plans if you have a lot of things to organize in a big bathroom. For a smaller water closet, consider a vanity with shelves or drawers underneath.

Visit Bathroom Remodel Showrooms for Ideas

If you're really stumped for ideas and want to see how each design element will look, it can help to visit a bathroom remodel gallery in addition to using a 3D remodeling tool. Visiting showrooms and galleries can be done in person or over the internet on sites like HGTV or House Beautiful.

Trust your eyes and personal taste when looking for ideas on the best bathroom remodels. You and your family need to feel comfortable in this space, and your preferences are the best barometer of how well each element will suit your lifestyle. Choose features that make it easy to enjoy a clutter-free, organized space, such as extra cupboards and wall-mounted shelves, but don't add so many organizers that the room starts to look cluttered even when empty— just because you have no extra floor space or wall space.
