Just because you have a small bathroom doesn't mean you can't turn it into a dream space. Granted, you have to be smarter when it comes to storage, but choosing pieces that appeal to your senses will help turn the room into something special.

Luckily for apartment dwellers, HGTV offers several tips and tricks to make the most of this compact space.

First and foremost: Go vertical. If you can't install any more cabinetry, go for floating shelves in order to make good use of your walls. For a modern take on these bathroom accessories, look for glass shelving units, and depending on your storage needs, choose a single or multi-tiered option.

Another tip is to go light on your color. Dark hues can make your bathroom look like a cave, so opt for neutral tones of whites and greys that will not only give your room that modern edge but also create the illusion of space.

Finally, use your bathroom vanity effectively. Choose a compact style that comes with storage space under the sink. Additionally, purchase a piece with a big mirror in order to create the illusion of extra space.
