There are times when a small bathroom makes life harder. Whether it is a guest bath or your main bathroom that simply is not spacious enough, there are always remodeling ideas that help you make the most of it. Here are six big ideas for small spaces.

1. Choose the right sink and vanity
The sink and vanity are critical in a tight space. A corner sink or trough frees up room while looking distinctive, and a floating vanity is ideal because it opens up the floor and makes the whole bathroom feel larger.
2. Install an extended counter
Adding a counter that extends over the toilet, a banjo-style top, saves vanity space while looking innovative. It occupies very little room and makes the bathroom feel more spacious.
3. Work with what you have
Turning a small bathroom into a large one is nearly impossible, but you can remodel it smartly. Maximize existing elements, for example a towel bar above the shower door, and choose a compact shower designed for tight spaces.
4. Patterned tile floors
Patterned tile on the floor or walls adds a sophisticated look. A good pattern brings visual interest without overwhelming a small space, and it stays cost-effective.
5. A large mirror
A substantial mirror above the vanity saves space while creating an open, airy impression and a distinctive look.
6. Bold accent colors
Bright accent colors on the vanity and walls add visual interest and help a compact bathroom feel more expansive.
