Adding some more functionality and the illusion of space to a bathroom can be a great decision when it has limited square footage and you're curious about all the ways to make it feel larger.
From improving the bathroom so that guests will have an easier time using the space to adding more value to your home, looking into upgrades that can improve functionality can ensure that the remodeling is done so that it's the best investment for your home.
Consider a Corner Sink
An easy way to save space in a smaller bathroom when you want more functionality is having a corner sink installed rather than having the sink in the center. With a large sink in the center of the bathroom, it could quickly make the space feel closed in and take up a lot of valuable space.
Depending on the layout of the bathroom, moving the sink to the corner can be a great way to take up less floor space and ensure that the bathroom feels more open after remodeling.
Opt for a Shower Curtain
While a glass shower door can look classy and help improve the way your bathroom looks, it can also make the bathroom feel closed in. With a shower curtain, you can easily pull it back to make the bathroom feel larger and ensure that the room doesn't feel smaller than it is.
With all the different styles for shower curtains and colors you can choose from, you'll also be able to choose a shower curtain that will be able to help in making sure that the bathroom still feels spacious and that you won't struggle with the color or pattern making it feel small.
Keep the Colors Neutral
Along with choosing a shower curtain that suits a small space, you need to consider other colors that can end up making the bathroom feel larger. From choosing new tile flooring to a backsplash behind the shower, these kinds of details can play a big part in how large your bathroom feels afterward.
Instead of ending up frustrated with the bathroom feeling closed in due to your color choices, keeping things neutral and light can ensure that the bathroom will feel as open as possible.
With the intention to update your small bathroom to have more functionality and for it to feel larger, there are several things you can do to avoid it feeling closed in. With the above projects, your bathroom will feel much more spacious and you won't be struggling with getting the bathroom to be accommodating for you.

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
