If you’ve ever had the (mis)fortune of using floorplan software, you’ll know: at the very basic level, everything is broken down into small boxes shuffled around in bigger boxes.

A small bathroom can be miserable to deal with if you don’t go out of your way to make the most of it. But while there are plenty of ways to conserve space in in a small bathroom, one you likely haven’t considered is your toilet. A wall-mounted toilet is efficient, easier than you think […]

By and large, there are two kinds of small bathrooms: spare half baths or powder rooms where you can have a lot of fun playing with decor because you don’t have to worry too much about functionality, and teensy tiny full or 3/4 baths that are squeezed into too little space because you need them.
