Not every home has a sprawling, spa-like master suite. Many older homes in Memphis and Knoxville feature cramped, outdated bathrooms. But a small footprint doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style or functionality. Here are our top ideas for remodeling a small bathroom.
1. Ditch the Tub for a Walk-In Shower
If you never take baths, that bulky tub is just wasting precious square footage. Replacing it with a sleek, custom walk-in shower with a frameless glass enclosure instantly makes the room feel twice as large.
2. Use Floating Vanities
A wall-mounted "floating" vanity frees up floor space beneath it. This visual trick tricks the eye into thinking the room is larger than it is, while still providing essential storage.
3. Large Format Tiles
It sounds counterintuitive, but using large tiles (like 12x24 or 24x24) in a small space actually makes it feel bigger. Fewer grout lines mean less visual clutter, creating a clean, expansive look.
4. Maximize Vertical Storage
When you lack floor space, look up. Install custom recessed niches in the shower for toiletries, and add tall, narrow cabinetry or floating shelves above the toilet.
