Let’s be honest, no one likes shower curtains. The lower height makes getting in and out easier and it will make your room feel more open as well. However, if you have children and you need to keep the tub for bathing them, then consider a lower profile tub. If you add a hand shower, showers are also excellent for getting pets clean too. Showers are great for adults and guests, especially older ones.

If you have the option to lose the tub, you’ll open up the space significantly. Tubs take up twice the amount of floor space than showers. If you can’t wall mount the toilet, consider adding shelving above the tank for additional storage or extending your vanity top to create a narrow ledge. If you have space in the walls of your small bathroom to build-in a toilet tank, you can save both floor space and legroom with a wall mounted toilet. Mirrors are also great for reflecting light, so you can get more lighting from your light fixtures or windows. This is particularly effective above a vanity or along one side of a narrow bathroom.
