Small Bathroom Remodeling - How to Maximize Every Inch
At Mile High Renovation, we have transformed dozens of bathrooms under 50 sq ft into functional, beautiful spaces. Here are some tips to make the most out of your tiny, cozy bathroom.
5 Space-Saving Layouts for Colorado Homes
1. The Corner Shower Solution
Best for:
- Narrow bathrooms
- Homes needing tub/shower combos
Features:
- 32"x32" neo-angle showers
- Frameless glass doors (visually expands space)
- Built-in shelving niches
2. Floating Vanity Designs
Why It Works:
- Creates illusion of more floor space
- Provides storage underneath
- Modern, clean look
Sizing Tips:
- 18"-21" depth ideal for small baths
- Wall-mounted faucets save counter space
3. Pocket Door Upgrades
Benefits:
- Saves 10-15 sq ft vs. swing doors
- Perfect for tight entries
- Available in moisture-resistant materials
4. Vertical Storage Strategies
Colorado-Proven Ideas:
- Recessed medicine cabinets
- Tall, narrow shelving units
- Over-toilet storage cabinets
5. Multi-Functional Fixtures
Space-Savers We Install:
- Shower-tub combos with sliding doors
- Wall-hung toilets (easier to clean under)
- Mirrored cabinets with built-in lighting
Small Bathroom Recommended Materials
Walls & Floors
- Large-format tiles (24"x12" minimum) - fewer grout lines
- Glossy finishes - reflect light to feel more spacious
- Continuous flooring - same material throughout
Color Tricks
- Light neutrals (whites, light grays) make rooms feel larger
- One dark accent wall adds depth
- Matching walls/floors creates flow
Colorado-Specific Small Bathroom Tips
For Mountain Homes:
- Tankless water heaters save space
- Frost-proof fixtures for unheated baths

For Small Apartments:
