Step 2: Layout that feels bigger (even when it’s the same size)
A well-planned layout can make a bathroom feel dramatically more spacious without adding square footage.
High-impact layout moves include:
- swapping a swinging door for a pocket door (when feasible)
- widening the vanity area for better daily flow
- creating a larger shower by rebalancing “dead space”
- moving plumbing strategically only when it creates real value
Even small changes like repositioning a toilet for better sightlines can improve comfort.
