Maison Valentina has been in some small bathrooms \u2014 you know, the kind that make you feel like you have to lose 5 pounds to enter them. But I really like working on this type of bathroom design. Trying to make everything fit in the available space is like doing a giant crossword puzzle.<\/p>\n

Among the challenges: configuring the toilet and sink to code, allowing enough clearance for a shower and, of course, where to put the towels and t.p.<\/a> Despite the challenges, in most cases it\u2019s still better to squeeze in an extra bathroom where one is desperately needed, even if it must be small.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 tips for designing a small bathroom.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Float the vanity. <\/b>Besides just visually helping the bathroom appear bigger, mounting a vanity above the floor frees up a little space for small items<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Round the vanity. <\/b>Tight spaces can make sharp corners hip hazards. If the corners of a vanity would get in the way, opt for a rounded style. Yes, a round vanity can work in a square space. No more bruised hips!<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skip the shower door. <\/b>If your bathroom is about 5 feet wide, that\u2019s just enough space to squeeze in a toilet and a 30- by 60-inch tub. With tight conditions such as these, consider a glass panel instead of a glass shower door. It will keep most of the water in the shower and will free up needed elbow room.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Expand the mirror. <\/b>In the tightest spaces, having a mirror stretch across the wall instead of just the vanity can enable two people to use it at once. In less-than-ideal space conditions, every inch helps.<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Mount the towel bar on a door. <\/b>Where can I put my towels? I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard that question.<\/p>\n

When space is at a minimum, mounting a towel bar on the shower door keeps towels handy. You might need to store the bulk of your towels in a nearby linen closet, but having that one towel close by to dry off with is essential.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Use a wall-mounted faucet. <\/b>Mounting a faucet on the wall allows for a narrower sink or vanity, which in turn frees up square footage in the total bathroom. Don\u2019t be afraid to try a wall-mounted faucet in traditional design. It works anywhere!<\/p>\n
