Maximize Space, Maximize Style: Our Favorite Small Bathroom Transformation
Don’t let a small bathroom limit your style—or functionality. At Allshire Building, based in Metro Detroit, we’ve helped homeowners across Birmingham, Royal Oak, Bloomfield Hills, and beyond turn tight bathroom spaces into stunning, spa-like retreats. Whether you're working with a compact guest bath or a narrow ensuite, smart design and quality craftsmanship can transform it into a full-function, glamorous space.
1. Start with a Smart Layout
Before anything else, a great small bathroom starts with good space planning. Consider repositioning your shower or vanity to open up floor space. We often recommend:
- A floating vanity to create the illusion of more room
- Corner sinks or wall-mounted faucets to save valuable inches
- Sliding doors instead of swinging ones
2. Use Light and Color to Your Advantage
Bright, neutral tones can make a small space feel much larger. Think:
- Soft whites, greys, and taupes
- Glossy or reflective surfaces
- Large-format tiles that reduce visual clutter
Accent lighting—like LED mirror lights or sconces—adds both elegance and depth.
3. Add Glamour with Finishes and Fixtures
A small bathroom is the perfect place to splurge a little on high-end finishes, since you’re dealing with a smaller area. Try:
- Brushed gold or matte black fixtures
- Statement lighting like mini chandeliers or pendant lights
- Textured or patterned tile for a designer look
4. Maximize Storage Without Sacrificing Style
Keep your countertops clear with clever storage:
- Built-in niches in the shower
- Over-the-toilet shelving
- Custom cabinetry that extends to the ceiling
Don’t forget accessories—matching baskets and bins keep everything tidy and pretty.
