Renovating a small bathroom feels like it should be cheaper — it’s small, right? The truth is that small bathrooms are sometimes more expensive per square meter. You still need plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, tiling, fixtures — just in tighter space, which requires more precision.
The first mistake people make is overcrowding. A bathtub, large vanity, big toilet, and washing machine all crammed together will only make the room unusable. In small bathrooms, prioritize movement: you should be able to turn comfortably without hitting the sink.
Glass shower partitions work far better than shower curtains in small spaces because they let light flow. Wall-hung toilets and vanities create the illusion of more floor space and make cleaning easier.
Storage matters. Daily reality is toothpaste, hair products, soap, cleaning items. If storage isn’t planned, they end up on the window sill permanently. Install mirror cabinets, niches inside the shower wall, or shelves above the toilet.
Lighting is another overlooked element. One dim bulb will make even a renovated bathroom look old. Use bright, moisture-safe lighting and if possible, split tasks (mirror light and general light).
Always measure before buying anything. A 1–2 cm mistake in a tiny bathroom means the door won’t close or the shower won’t fit. Tiny spaces are unforgiving — accuracy is everything.
