When you stand in your bathroom, do you feel like the walls are closing in on you? Perhaps you could just about soak your feet in the bathtub while you sit on the porcelain throne. An itty-bitty bathroom may make it easy to combine ordinary bathroom tasks into one big occurrence, but there is nothing more frustrating than barely having enough room to move in a room that is meant for rejuvenation. Even if your budget is almost as small as your bathroom, there may be a few things that you can do to remodel and make room for change. Here are a few budget-friendly bathroom makeover ideas that you should consider.

Get That Bath Tub Out of There

No, this does not mean that you will have to forego self-cleaning. Getting rid of the bathtub in your tiny bathroom space will only mean opening up new space for a stand-alone shower stall. Think about it. How often do you really have time to take a long soak in the bath? Don't you most often take a shower anyway? If you are like most Americans, you would prefer a shower over a bath, or at least that is what The American Institute of Architects gathers from recent research. The average bathtub takes up a little more than 13 square feet of floor space, but a single shower stall can get you clean with probably about half as much. Plus, shower stalls are relatively inexpensive, and you may even be able to sell your bathtub to cover part of the costs.

Eliminate the Vanity and Swap Sinks

If you have a teeny-weeny bathroom, the idea of stuffing a vanity in such a tight space can seem a little asinine anyway, but if your home is like most, someone put a vanity in anyway during construction. Go ahead and drop the vanity, which likely is little more than a pretty cabinet to hide the plumbing fixtures under your sink. Low-profile sinks, either those that attach to the wall or are pedestal designed, will open up the flooring space that you have available, but they can also be tucked away in a small corner. Best of all, a pedestal sink can cost you as little as $100, and a low-profile wall sink is usually around the same.

You may be comfortable with a bathroom where you can brush your teeth at the sink and wash your hair at the same time, but really, wouldn't it be much better if you had a little room to move? Talk to a bathroom remodeling contractor for more ideas about how you can transform your itty-bitty bathroom on a tight budget.
