One of the most common features a master bathroom would have is a tub. Yet most people hardly ever really use their tubs to begin with. Tubs are a great means of relaxing, especially if you got one with jets, but in reality, they are rarely used to justify keeping them. This is extremely important if you're looking to remodel your small bathroom to look roomier.
You'd be surprised how often people do not even think about how often, or the real need of having a tub until asked. Recently, we had a customer who wanted to make his 8 x 5 foot bathroom larger. The first thing we asked was how often he used his bath tub. The customer thought for a moment and said he can't remember the last time he did. We suggested that the first thing to do would be to remove the tub and replace it with only a shower, which he agreed to. The customer was extremely surprised and pleased that by removing the large shower+tub that was in his bathroom and replacing it with a far smaller single shower, how much space was opened up in his bathroom. With the space saved, and the separation between the shower, the toilet, and the vanities, it gave a lot more open space and elegance to the bathroom as a whole.
This doesn't mean that we recommend removing a bath tub for everyone. If you got a sizable bathroom, or if you use it quite often, then a bath tub is a great addition to any bathroom.
But if space is still limited, consider getting choosing a designer small tub, which has become a popular trend for small bathrooms that still desire the luxury of a mini-spa. These elegant tubs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, taking advantage of curves, geometry, and design, these tubs allow for maximum comfort with minimal space. The best part is, they aren't truly all that more expensive, ranging anywhere from $600-$900 dollars.

Although I'm focusing on bathroom tubs, there are many other things you can do to maximize space in your bathroom.
Consider replacing your toilet with a compact elongated toilet. Choose solid, and simple colors, which reinforce the idea of minimalism. Choosing a smaller vanities, and taking as much use out of corners as possible!
