Tiny Home Bathrooms

Owning a tiny home comes with its fair share of challenges, but with a little creativity, it’s easy to maximize any space…even the bathroom! Let Kansas City Bathroom Remodeling help you design a tiny home bathroom that makes the most of its square footage while maintaining a gorgeous aesthetic. 


A tiny house is considered anything under 100 square feet. This means that every room in the house is going to be considerably smaller than an average residential home, and the bathroom is no exception. In a typical home, residential bathrooms are usually 5’x9’ or larger, but a tiny home’s bathroom can measure just 3’x3’! 

Therefore, it’s extremely important to find ways to utilize every inch of bathroom area! Here are some of our best ideas: 

• Place the toilet under the shower head. You won’t be using both at the same time anyway, and there are several RV style showers and toilets that are compatible with one another. With the toilet inside the shower, you’ll be able to keep what little floor space you have wide open. 

• Shelves, shelves and more shelves! In every room of a tiny home, the vertical space seems to be misused the most. Add shelves and shallow cabinets to the bathroom walls (even inside the shower) for additional storage. 

• Install a 24” door. Residential doors range from 28” to 32”. Some are even larger to accommodate a particular style or for handicapped accessibility. A tiny home can get away with smaller features, including a narrower door to allow for more wall space. 

• Use the kitchen sink as the bathroom sink. Think outside the box to free up space in your tiny home. This can sometimes mean eliminating duplicate appliances and fixtures. You can easily brush your teeth and wash your hands over the kitchen sink and save valuable bathroom area. 

Take any or all of these suggestions to make your tiny home bathroom seem bigger! If you’re at a loss for what will work best for your floor plan, consult a pro like Kansas City Bathroom Remodeling to get an idea of what will make your small bathroom feel bigger and more useful. 


Tiny homes are incredibly popular these days, and for many good reasons: 


They are eco-friendly. Residents of tiny homes are more mindful about how much water they use, especially in homes that are mobile. These homes make less of a carbon footprint because they do not use as much gas or electricity to heat or cool. 


They provide financial freedom.  A smaller home means a smaller house payment, freeing owners up to do more of what they love or save a substantial amount of money for the future. 
​

They support a minimalistic lifestyle. Living in a small space helps you determine what’s really important. Being free from clutter and unnecessary junk is an appealing way of life in today’s busy world! 


Whatever your reason for tiny home living, Kansas City Bathroom Remodeling can help you design the perfect small house for your family, including a bathroom that is fully functional and beautiful!
