Small Bathroom Remodel

When determining your budget small bathroom remodel, we advise that you expect to spend an average of approximately $3000 on fixtures and about $100 per square foot for labor costs.

Again we reiterate that our bathroom contractors have worked on hundreds of small bathroom remodels and renovations. To get you inspired for your small bathroom makeover, we wanted to pass along the following tips to get you thinking and inspired:

• Stick with a light color scheme for the overall space. Darker colors in a small space can make the room feel tighter and smaller. You want a fresh bathroom space, not a cave.
• But don’t forget the power of a splash of color. We recommend implementing colors and personality to your small bathroom through accessories such as bold-colored towels, a bath mat, and soap dispenser. 
• You can make your small bathroom appear larger by visually, not literally, raising the bathroom ceiling. This effect can be achieved by replacing large crown molding with narrower crown molding and replacing ceiling fixtures that hang down with recessed lighting. 
• Unleash the power of reflectivity to get more light into your space to make it appear larger than it actually is. Think large mirrors and high-gloss fixtures. 
• Replace your current small bathroom door with a nonintrusive pocket door. 
• Keep your small bathroom stocked with only the essentials to gain space. Extra items like spare towels, cleaning supplies, additional toilet paper, and tissue boxes should be relocated to a nearby hall or bedroom closet if possible. Also consider purchasing items you regularly use that can attach to your wall, such as a makeup mirror, so you can free up some of your bathroom’s counter space. 
• Consider a tub to shower conversion.
• And please note, a small bathroom still needs proper ventilation for overall comfort and to reduce humidity that can damage paint, drywall and other parts of your small bathroom.
