A small bathroom needs careful choices because one oversized fixture can affect the whole room. Measure the existing space and note where doors, drawers, and fittings get in each other’s way.
Bring that information to the person planning the renovation before choosing replacements.
Look at depth as well as width
A vanity may fit along the wall but project too far into the room. Check how much room remains to move and how its doors or drawers open.
If you’re considering recessed storage, ask whether the wall can accommodate it. Don’t assume that space behind a surface is empty or available.
Keep storage useful
Decide where towels, spare products, and cleaning supplies will go. A smaller vanity is only helpful if the things it used to hold have somewhere else to live.
Light colours and good lighting can make the room feel more open, but they don’t solve a blocked door or an awkward fixture. Start with a layout that works, then choose finishes that make the compact space pleasant to spend time in.
