Tips for Remodeling Your Mobile Home Bathroom

Updating your kitchen or bathroom is a great way to add value to your mobile home, but remodeling a bathroom in a mobile home can present some unique challenges not encountered with traditional style houses. For example, tiny homes have limited options when it comes to layout designs because of the finite amount of space available. However, there are many great solutions for maximizing space and budget when remodeling your tiny home bathroom. The following tips can help save time and money during the remodeling process. 

1. Keep the Same Layout.

When considering budget options, think about keeping the bathroom layout the same. One of the greatest expenses of a bathroom remodel can come from modifying plumbing pipes, so electing to keep the same layout can be a huge money saver. 

2. Plan Ahead.

Create a detailed plan with all the appropriate measurements to guarantee the appropriate fixtures are purchased. The first step should be to draw a detailed floor plan and sketch where things are located. Many online resources can be used for this. After mapping out your plan, consider all the various options of materials bathtubs, showers, and counter appliances can be made from. Every material serves a different purpose, so which you decide to purchase depends on your unique needs. 

3. Choose Space-Saving Fixtures.

Several great options for small spaces include corner showers, and vessel or wall-mounted sinks.

4. Create New Storage Options.

With limited space in most tiny home bathrooms, multiple storage options are vital. When remodeling, think about new and creative ways to keep items out of the way. Adding a simple medicine cabinet is a great way to store things right above the sink and give you easy access. Another option to create more storage options is to consider getting a sink with a shallow bowl. This will allow more space under the sink rather than keeping items on the counter that add clutter. Finally, consider installing wall-mounted hooks, towel bars, or rings to save space.

5. Install Built-in Lighting.

Wall-mounted lights will eliminate the need for freestanding lights. Freestanding lights take up a lot of space, so they aren’t necessary. Using mounted lights will save space on counters and look more aesthetically pleasing overall. Keep in mind that most mobile homes do not accommodate for ceiling lights. 

6. Enhance your space with carefully selected decor.

For example, mirrors can make a small room feel much larger and brighter. 

Remodeling any home can seem stressful, especially when dealing with limited options and space. Following these simple tips can save money and resources when considering a new bathroom.
