It reminded me how small spaces can push us to think way outside the box and come up with creative solutions. Today, I want to share 10 bathroom renovation ideas that I've tried or seen work wonderfully in Perth homes, especially when space is tight and budget needs careful handling. And trust me, sometimes constraints inspire the best designs — like when we used a smart bathroom design tool to visualize three completely different layouts in just one afternoon.1. Floating Vanity with Hidden StorageRaising the vanity off the floor makes any bathroom feel bigger, plus it’s easier to clean. I often integrate drawers with compartments to keep clutter out of sight—perfect for small Perth apartments where every centimeter counts.save pin2. Large Mirror PanelsMirrors create a sense of depth. In one project, I covered an entire wall with a single mirror sheet and it doubled the visual size of the bathroom. The trick is to keep the frame minimal so it feels seamless.save pin3. Frameless Glass Shower ScreensSwitching thick frames for frameless glass can make showers disappear visually. It’s not the cheapest upgrade, but in bright Perth light, the space suddenly feels wide and airy.save pin4. Built-in Niches Instead of ShelvesI’m a big fan of recessing shelves into the wall. It saves precious elbow room and looks super sleek. On a recent job, these niches became a feature with soft LED strips inside.save pin5. Light-Coloured Tiles with TextureWhite and beige hues reflect light beautifully, but flat colours can look bland. I love using textured tiles so the bathroom still feels rich. A client once said it felt like a mini spa in the heart of the city after the renovation.save pin6. Dual-Purpose FurnitureFor tiny bathrooms, I sometimes install a bench that doubles as hidden laundry storage. It’s a neat way to combine style and function — much like some clever floor plan ideas I’ve adapted for bathroom layouts.save pin7. Vertical Heated Towel RailsThese save wall space while keeping towels warm in winter. Plus, vertical lines draw the eye upward, making the room appear taller.save pin8. Skylights or Solar TubesPerth has plenty of sunshine — bringing more of it in with a skylight can instantly refresh the vibe. The only caution is to plan ventilation so the room doesn’t overheat.save pin9. Statement TapwareSwapping standard taps for black matte or brushed brass instantly upgrades the style. On one renovation, this tiny change made visitors think we’d done a full remodel.save pin10. Underfloor Heating with TimersIt feels indulgent, but in cool mornings it’s pure bliss. I usually link it with a timer so it switches on just before the alarm — like designing comfort into the floor plan with a 3D visual layout before construction starts.save pinFAQQ: Are these ideas expensive to implement?A: Not necessarily—many of them are swaps or clever uses of space. The key is planning, which can prevent costly mistakes later.Q: Can I try these in a rental?A: Some, yes—like using large mirrors, switching tapware, or adding vertical towel rails.
