Most bathrooms are much smaller than we would prefer. It is an odd choice on the part of homebuilders, considering that we spend about 15% or more of our waking time in them. But, they have to trim floor space somewhere, apparently. However, that leaves homeowners with a problem on how to maximize the space. Fortunately, clever designers have given us lots of bathroom space savers to do that.

Few spaces in the home are as personal, and as practical, as the bathroom. Bathrooms are a place to freshen up, reorganize and steel oneself against the forthcoming day. They are also a place to wind down from a day just past and prepare for bed. Serving numerous purposes, and oftentimes for multiple persons, makes bathroom remodeling a challenge. But it is also an opportunity for remodeling what is often the smallest room in the house to suit the most important needs.
