Small Bathroom Remodel Ideas That Actually Make a Difference
You don’t always need to knock down walls or rework plumbing to fix a small bathroom. Sometimes, the smartest moves are cosmetic — and they still deliver serious impact.
Here’s how Bluestone Build Co. helps Melbourne homeowners remodel small bathrooms to feel modern, sharp, and way more usable — without starting from scratch.
1. Ditch the Shower Screen
Frameless glass or a simple walk-in wet zone instantly opens the room. Say goodbye to bulky cubicles and hello to clean lines and visual flow.
2. Wall-Mount the Vanity
A floating vanity gives you more floor space, more breathing room, and makes cleaning easier. Bonus: it looks 10x more modern than a boxy flatpack unit.
3. Replace That Old Mirror
A full-width mirror or mirrored cabinet adds light, depth, and function. Throw in LED strip lighting underneath? Total glow-up.
4. Simplify the Colour Scheme
Stick to soft whites, warm greys, or natural tones. The fewer visual breaks, the bigger the room feels. Add texture with tiles — not colour chaos.
5. Update the Fixtures
A brushed nickel tap set, a matte black rail, a fresh mixer in the shower — small changes that reset the entire tone of the bathroom.
6. Build In (Even in a Small Space)
Shower niche
Over-toilet shelf
Narrow vertical storage
Pull-out drawer organisers
These aren’t massive additions — but they solve daily frustrations fast.
