Small Bathroom Renovation Ideas For Small LA Homes 

Small bathroom renovation, Los Angeles

We all know that space comes at a premium if you have a home in Los Angeles, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make the most of your small bathroom if you're in a Studio City apartment or bungalow.

We gathered some of the best ideas for a small bathroom renovation below to give you some design inspiration and reimagine your small space. 

Wall-Hung Vanities 

Wall-hung vanities keep the floor space clear and provide great storage when paired with floating shelving. We’ve recently finished a wall-hung vanity project in Westwood where we fitted a wall-hung vanity with underlighting for extra style and space.

Corner Space Shower 

Replacing a bathtub with a corner space shower is a common bathroom renovation we get asked to do. Frameless and glass options also make the bathroom look bigger and more modern. 

Pocket Doors For Floor Space

Installing a pocket door allows you to use your wall and floor space more efficiently. By pocket door, we mean sliding doors, saving you space since you don’t have to swing them open. When done well, these doors should blend seamlessly into the wall, matching the rest of your interior.

Smart Storage With Multi-Use Niches 

Niches offer a streamlined look in your small bathroom, unlike caddies, which can often look cluttered. You can build custom niches according to your needs, such as ones for different family members, and decorate them with tiles or mosaics according to your bathroom interior taste.

As bathroom remodel contractors in LA we have done thousands of multi-use niches in small bathrooms to make smart storage space, designing them not only as a storage solution but as a focal point when paired with LED lighting. 

Mirror Walls 

A full mirror wall is a bold remodel to do in a small bathroom, but when done right, it can visually double your space and bring more light in when placed opposite a window, helping it look modern. Going borderless, too, makes it look seamless.

Bring Natural Light In 

Small bathrooms can feel dark in older LA homes, and installing a skylight to bring more light inside can work wonders without having to change the whole layout. There is also the choice of enlarging windows and replacing frosted glass with clear glass.

Mix Materials 

Mixing materials such as stone and metal helps to create more dimension in a small space like a bathroom. For example, you could mix stainless steel with matt black fixtures or brass finishes to add more detail and personalization to your small space. 

Keep It White 

Lots of people dread all-white bathrooms since they might seem difficult to keep clean; however, they can help make small bathroom spaces look more airy and spacious instantly without needing to change the layout.  Pairing the ceiling with the color of the white walls can help the room visually look taller, and semi-gloss finishes also reflect light. 

Transform Into a Wet Room

Converting your whole small bathroom into a wet room is becoming a trending bathroom renovation project we are seeing in LA. This means the entire small bathroom is waterproofed and made into an open shower. 

Slim Sinks 

Narrower sinks and wall-mounted taps allow for more space while still being functional. Whether you want organic vessel sinks made from stone or rectangular ceramic bases, opting for a slim version can make your space feel more open and easy to move around in.

Good Lighting 

Natural light is often limited in small bathrooms; therefore, using the right type of lighting makes all the difference. Layered lighting adds more depth without being overwhelming. For example, an oversized pendant for the main lighting adds visual interest, while vanity lighting helps with keeping the lighting even for grooming.
