Small Bathrooms: Increase Space Without Knocking Down a Wall
Limited space doesn't have to limit creativity. This tiny bath maxes out with super style.

Small drawers flank the pedestal sink to allow ample room for toiletries.

It's often the smallest spaces in our homes that get shortchanged. Speaking for all of the tiny quarters out there, it's high time that we banish that theory and give them the style they deserve. Here are five clever ideas to get you started.

Idea #1: Pedestal Help
Pedestal sinks are ideal in small baths because they take up less space visually than a cabinet. However, a shortage of storage often makes them less appealing. Builder Chris Fisher of Tulsa, Oklahoma, placed two small drawers on either side of this sink. The drawers are both functional and pretty. They are painted the same color as the walls, while the trimwork is stained chocolate like the ledge above. A tile countertop mimics the flooring.
