Over the last 8+ years of being a renter, I have lived in properties with the smallest bathrooms imaginable. As a renter, I am limited on how much change I can do to my flat but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything. I found some amazing tips on maximising the small spaceI have in the bathroom.
In more recent years, the apartments I have rented have had small but sizable bathrooms with room to add my touches. I have had to learn how to maximise space in your bathroom through trial and error. Since moving into a new place last month, I decide to maximise the small space in my bathroom.

In this post, I will share tips that I have used to make my small bathroom look and feel bigger and stylish. As a renter I can’t rearrange the bathroom to my preference but have worked around what I have been presented with.
How to Maximise Space in Your Bathroom
When I moved into my current property, as soon as I saw the bathroom, ideas started jumping out of my head of things I could do with the space. None of the ideas require professionals but if I was to need an update to my bath, Bathing Solutionswould be my first choice.
The few changes that I made to the bathroom required me spending a few pounds to add pieces to the bathroom. I am not a big spender but I do appreciate quality items from my home and always purchase those. A few simple changes I made include;
Added a Mirror
Every bathroom I have ever had in my home has always had a mirror as it gives the illusion of the room being bigger. Another thing is it makes the room brighter when light reflects on the mirror. Plus, as a woman, I need a mirror to sort my face out before I leave the house.

Under sink storage
In my new bathroom I have enough space between the bath tub and the toilet to add an under-sink cupboard for storage. In almost every bathroom I have had one thing of concern has always been storage space.
Storage Baskets
In this new bathroom, I actually have a window sill which has been incredible as I can perch storage baskets on them. I have so many products for the body, face, hair but other necessities that I need more storage space.

Bathroom Accessories
When it comes to accessories the bathroom, I think the less the better since a small bathroom will look crowded quickly. I have a soap holder, an electric tooth brush and toothpaste holder around my sink. Then on the floor I have one large bathmat which makes my bathroom look and feel cosier.
Towel Bar
I have a towel back installed at the back of the bathroom door, not only does this create space for towels, it keeps the bathroom look neat. I hate not having somewhere to hang my towel in the bathroom, the towel bar is long enough to put my bathrobe on too.
I hope this post will be helpful for those looking for simple ways to maximise space in your bathroom.

An under sink cabinet can be really handy! Lots of things can be stored, especially those we don’t want to display!
