8 Small Bathrooms That Shine

September 30, 2014 By Mark Hager

Small bathrooms can seem tough; especially when you’re planning a bathroom remodeling project. Not everyone interested in home remodeling has a spacious bathroom area, but there is a ton of potential in small bathrooms. If one of your bathrooms is small, we’ve got you covered. We’ve compiled a few amazing small bathrooms that are sure to provide some inspiration.

These small bathrooms have some features that we really love and some that are perfect for an older person. These bathrooms range from small to medium-sized, but all have features that could be incorporated into a small bathroom. Most have accessible design built in, including no or low-step showers, pedestal or roll-under sinks and one is even a wet room! All of them are just beautiful.
