A Tiny Bathroom Went from Grimy to Cozy After a "Gothic-Aquatic" RedoHome Projects
“That feeling of scrubbing a bathroom until your arms ache, only for it to still look kind of grimy, is the ultimate motivator,” DIYer Joe Bergantino says. Joe is one half of the DIY duo @HomosWithHammers, an account he shares with his husband, Ricky Gonzalez. They’ve slowly been restoring their 1800s Chicago home, and that grimy feeling was the couple’s inspiration to make the tiny powder room “pack a giant punch.

This Studio Apartment Feels So Much Bigger After Only Upgrading the PaintHome Projects
This isn’t the first sad studio apartment that architectural and interior designer Francis Dominguez has totally transformed. A few years ago, Apartment Therapy featured his 365-square-foot studio apartment in Miami, and I was wowed by his ability to create so many different functional areas in one small space, especially after seeing what the space looked like before he updated it.

After all, everyone in a home uses it — especially if it’s in a high-traffic part of a house or apartment. Homeowner Kiley Cutler wanted to make her main-level bathroom look and feel like a put-together space for her husband, two kids, and guests, so she opted to give the yellow-toned space a much-needed makeover.

This 1960s Bathroom Redo Made Room for a Surprising Amount of StorageHome Projects
Older homes can sometimes become a hodgepodge of design styles as updates get added over the years. That was the case in Jess Bond’s (The Bond House) bathroom, which was partially original to her 1962 home — but was also partially updated with ’90s upgrades that included a vinyl floor and a dingy, yellowed tub insert.

Her Neighbor Helped Make This Bathroom Feel Like Hers AgainHome Projects
There’s something so special about a neighbor-to-neighbor bond. Neighbors are like a nearby safety net — watering each other’s plants, checking in when the power goes out, or shoveling each other’s walkways in winter. Or, for Holly Saulie-Rohman, giving her neighbor Jackie a ride whenever she needs one. “We support each other in all the neighborly ways,” Holly shares. But the neighbors’ bond goes beyond helping with admin tasks.

They Ditched a Tub in Their Cramped Bathroom — It Was the Best DecisionHome Projects
When it comes to bathing habits, there are usually two camps: bath enthusiasts or strictly shower people. Luiza Frediani Oxley and her partner, Chris, fall into the latter group. So in the bathroom of their small London flat, the tub took up unnecessary space. “It felt cramped, lacked proper storage, and had a few underlying issues like worn finishes and general wear that made it feel tired rather than functional,” Luiza explains.

I Put This Freezer Staple in My Bathroom Instead for Practical StorageOrganizing
My apartment isn’t all that small, aside from the bathroom. With virtually no built-in storage, my tiny countertop easily becomes a chaotic mess of toiletries, cotton swabs, floss picks, nail clippers, and eye drops no matter how often I tidy up. For the longest time, I thought that’s just how it would always be. Then, inspiration struck in the most unexpected place: my local gym.

This Hidden Storage Cabinet Is the Smartest Thing I’ve Put in My Small BathroomOrganizing
My bathroom is a strange place. It has two showers (yes, really) and, naturally, one toilet. I have under-sink storage, and technically the bathroom mirror opens up to what should be a shelved medicine cabinet — except there are no shelves in the medicine cabinet at all. It’s just empty space. As such, and because my bathroom is on the smaller side, I need more storage in my bathroom, always.

I’m not one for visual clutter, so I’ve only put a few items on the glass shelves (which makes them an impractical solution).

These 4 Over-the-Top '80s Bathroom Trends Are BackReal Estate
Ah, the ’80s: A time when design trends were over-the-top, and everything was glamorous. Black marble. Bright brass. Glass blocks. Whether it was a penthouse in New York or a suburban home on a cul-de-sac in Nebraska, the design style was big and bold. There’s no doubt that the design trends that followed were a reaction to this era; by the early 2000s, neutral stone-look tile and soft brushed nickel took over.

People say bright ideas often come to them while taking a shower. But the shower ceiling in my vintage bathroom was where good ideas got lost. The blank, uninspired white square, punctuated by a tarnished flush mount, did nothing to inspire a brainstorm and was far from spa-like. I’d been dreaming of some sort of makeover that didn’t involve a full demo for more than a year. My go-to muse? The constellation ceiling of Grand Central Station’s main concourse in New York City.
