Even the smallest spaces in a home can make a huge difference when it comes to renovation. That’s exactly what we discovered during this half bath remodel. With a few smart design choices and some clever reworking of the layout, we were able to turn a cramped, awkward bathroom into a cozy and functional space that fits perfectly with the rest of the home.
The Problem: A Door in the Wrong Spot
Originally, the bathroom door opened directly into the living room. Talk about awkward! Not only did it lack privacy, but it also disrupted the flow of the space. So, we decided to move the door further down the hallway, giving the bathroom a more private entry and instantly improving the layout.
Bonus Storage: Reimagining a Closet
One of the best parts of this remodel was finding a solution for more storage. There was an extra coat closet nearby that wasn’t really being used, so we reworked the layout to take over part of that closet and create a small storage area inside the half bath. Now there’s a perfect spot to store towels, toiletries, and other bathroom essentials—without taking up any extra space!
The Design: A Calm and Cozy Vibe
When it came to the design, we wanted this bathroom to feel calm, cozy, and cohesive with the rest of the house. We went with a small, earthy color palette of soft greens, warm neutrals, and brass accents. We also added a gorgeous wallpaper that brings a little bit of personality without overpowering the small space.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the key design elements we used:
- Vanity: The vanity we chose has clean lines, plenty of storage, and the brass hardware adds a nice touch of elegance.
- Lighting: The lighting is simple but gives the room a warm glow, tying everything together.
- Tile: We picked a subtle geometric tile for the flooring—timeless and chic.
- Mirror: A sleek, rounded mirror adds a bit of softness to the space and pairs perfectly with the vanity.
Why This Remodel Worked So Well
This renovation worked because it was all about smart design choices. By moving the door and reimagining the closet space, we created a bathroom that’s not only more functional but also feels bigger and brighter. And by sticking to a calm color palette and carefully selecting each design element, the room now has a stylish, cohesive look that matches the rest of the home.
