Tiny and windowless doesn’t have to mean boring, just as this homeowner proves in this before and after bathroom makeover, as seen at Apartment Therapy.com.

As seen here, this is a pretty standard — and yes, basically boring — bathroom.  When you’re working with such a small space, picking your battles becomes important.

Emily opted to remove the bathtub and go for a floor to ceiling tiled shower area.   She also swapped out the old standard sink cabinet that would “hopefully force me to become more organized.”

Her oversized subway tiles provide a subtle backdrop to the gorgeous antiqued/darkened fixtures throughout the bath area.

Emily’s creativity can be an inspiration for any homeowner in a similar situation. Options could include:

  • Instead of removing the bath,  refinishing the bath and tiles for the black and white motif that can be so striking in small areas like this.
  • Given the standard size of the pre-existing tiles, you could also copy this look by continuing with white tiles, floor to ceiling.
  • Couple this change with dramatic shower curtains, black flooring (either wood-tile or painted floor) could be another very affordable option.
  • Love the new sink! Another option might be to go for a pedestal, or wall mounted/free standing sink, or a table with spindle legs — all of which gives you the option of opening up more space visually.
