Maximizing every inch of space is essential when your bathroom is on the smaller side. At James Russell Roofing & Restorations, we can help you take your space back and create long-term storage solutions for small bathrooms. Here are a few of our top tips for a renovation that delivers.

## Stick with a Light or Neutral Color Scheme

A neutral or light color scheme enhances the perception of space and keeps a small area from feeling even more restricted. White is usually the best choice, since it lightens a room and creates an illusion of openness. When choosing faucets and accessories, stick to a single metal finish.

## Install Floating Vanities

Floating vanities create the illusion of a more spacious bathroom. Elevating the vanity off the floor frees up space and improves the flow of the room, and the area underneath can hold extra towels, baskets, or a small trash can.

## Choose Glass Shower Doors

A sleek glass shower door can completely change the ambiance of your bathroom. Clear, unobstructed glass extends the line of sight and makes the whole room feel much larger.

## Strategic Lighting

Bright neutral tones and strategic lighting make a bathroom feel more expansive and inviting. For an added touch of elegance and functionality, consider mirrors with built-in lighting.

## Built-In Storage Solutions

Recessed shelves integrated into your shower or walls create more room for toiletries, keeping every bottle and bar accessible but tucked away.

## Lengthen Your Counter Space

If a small counter leaves you cramped during the morning routine, consider extending the countertop to create more room for your go-to products.

## Compact Fixtures for Small Bathrooms

Space-saving fixtures such as corner sinks, wall-mounted toilets, or free-standing showers conserve square footage while offering full functionality without compromise.

## Optimize Vertical Space

Make the most of your walls: shelves, hooks, or slim cabinets positioned above toilets or doors put every inch of the room to work.
