5 Updates that Add Space to a Bathroom

Bathroom renovations have become very popular over the last decade. And there are more and more options available—some at considerable expense. The bathroom has inspired a long list of design innovations. Here are the top five renovation ideas that you should consider when redoing your bathroom.

1. Sliding bathroom door.
A door that slides into the wall cavity saves space, because it's not necessary to leave sufficient space inside the bathroom for a hinged door to swing open. It's a cool feature that offers visitors a first taste of the style of your modern bathroom.
