The room looks cleaner, easier on the eyes, and in many cases even gives you the illusion of extra space. Our team of remodeling specialists are here to share a few tips to make your minimalist bathroom work. ![Tips on Making a Minimalist Bathroom Design](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png) ## **Get Rid of Borders** Minimalist bathroom designs don’t go well with cramped looking spaces. The best way to get rid of that cramped feeling is to get rid of lines that “break” the open look of the room. Switching out your framed partitions to glass and frameless shower doors. Allows you to keep partitions while still maintaining that open look. ## **Switch Out the Tiles** Grout lines on your tiled surface tends to make your bathroom look too busy and cramped. [Designing a bathroom remodel](https://southshoredreambath.com/design-center/) with laminated wall panels allows you to have large, unimpeded surfaces, with a selection of cracked cement, natural stone, or marble for a clean look without making the bathroom look dull. ## **Float It Up** Do you feel like your bathroom is starved for precious floor space? Consider floating or wall-mounted fixtures. A floating bathroom sink will take far less space than a regular countertop sink. Storage shelves can also be elevated to achieve the same effect. Floating fixtures also make it easier to keep the bathroom floor clean. ## **Ditch the Tub** It’s difficult to work a minimalist bathroom design with a tub. However, you can consider switching the tub out for a seating shower area. It still lets you spend some leisure time in the bathroom while keeping the floor space and the [bathroom renovation cost](https://southshoredreambath.com/specials/) fairly low.
