When planning a bathroom remodeling job, the size of your bathroom is one of the most important things to think about. It’s important to think about size when remodeling a bathroom. Take a look at the information below, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page to learn more about your bathroom size!

1. Comfort and a layout that works
What kind of layout your bathroom has and how easily you can use the space depend on its size. It can be hard to fit necessary things like a sink, toilet, and shower into a small bathroom without making it feel crowded. When bathrooms are bigger, the plan can be more flexible. This means that extras like separate showers and bathtubs, two vanities, and maybe even a bidet can be added, making the bathroom more comfortable and useful.

2. Choice of Fixtures and Features
You might not be able to put in all types and sizes of faucets in smaller bathrooms. Small fixtures, corner sinks, and toilets that mount on the wall are all popular options that help you make the most of your space. On the other hand, bigger bathrooms let you add bigger, fancier features like freestanding bathtubs, bigger sinks, and more counter space.

3. The ability to store things
In both the kitchen and the bathroom, shelves are very useful. When bathrooms are small, you need to think of creative ways to keep them from getting messy. This could include built-in shelves, storage over the toilet, or cabinets that are made to fit specific areas. Larger bathrooms can have more cabinets and even walk-in closets, which can add a lot of storage area without changing the look or function of the room.

4. Choices of Style and Design
Your bathroom remodel’s design options will depend on its size. It’s important to pick the right design elements for small rooms so that they look bigger. Lighter colors, bigger mirrors, and simple styles can help you do this. Bathrooms that are bigger can have more daring design choices, like darker colors or more complicated decorations, without taking over the room.

5. Costs of the budget and materials
The size of the bathroom will, of course, affect how much you can spend on renovations. More square footage usually means more materials and maybe even more money for workers to put it together. Planning based on the size helps you make a budget that is reasonable and can cover high-quality materials and work without sacrificing the results you want.

6. Using less energy
The bathroom’s energy economy can also be affected by how big it is. Smaller bathrooms may not need as much lighting and will cost less to heat or cool. But they usually need more careful planning to make sure they have enough light and air flow. To keep the temperature comfortable, bigger bathrooms may need more light fixtures and more HVAC ducts, which could make the energy bill go up.

7. Easy access and good ergonomics
When renovate a bathroom, it’s especially important to make sure that the space is approachable and meets ergonomic standards. Smaller baths need to be carefully planned so that they can fit ergonomic fixtures. For example, grab bars could be put in the shower or next to the toilet to make things easier to use. Larger bathrooms can be made fully available for everyone, including people with disabilities, by giving them more room to move around.

8. Value at resale
Bathrooms have a big effect on a home’s selling value, just like kitchens do. A well-planned bathroom remodel that makes the most of the area, no matter how big or small, can attract buyers and give you a good return on your money.
