The quick answer

A small bathroom remodel in Puyallup is usually a hall bath or an older home's only full bath. The goal is to make the room work harder: storage built into the walls, a vanity that fits the traffic path, one continuous floor and lighting that reaches the corners.

Asked often

Before you book: small bathrooms Q&A.

Can a small bathroom have a walk-in shower?

Yes, if another bathroom keeps a tub. A walk-in can make a small room feel noticeably larger.

Is a small bathroom remodel quick?

Usually quicker than a large one, though the same steps apply.

What color tile makes a room look bigger?

Lighter tones and larger tiles generally help, along with good lighting.

The typical hall bath

In many South Hill two-stories, the hall bath is a tub-shower, a toilet and a single vanity in a narrow room shared by kids or guests. It takes a beating, and the fiberglass tub unit shows it first.

Ideas that earn space

  • Niches instead of hanging caddies
  • A vanity with drawers instead of doors
  • A taller mirror or recessed cabinet
  • Glass panel instead of a curtain
  • Floor tile running wall to wall without breaks
  • Wall-mounted lighting on both sides of the mirror

Powder rooms

Half baths are where bold choices pay off. A patterned floor or a dark wall in a room this small costs little in material and makes a strong impression.

Keep a tub or not

In a family hall bath, keeping the tub but replacing the fiberglass with a tiled surround is often the smart move. You keep the function and lose the dated look.
