There is an art to knowing how to make a small bathroom look bigger and if your decor ideas don’t match up to the size of your space, don’t worry, you are not alone.
Tiny bathrooms are a common problem, whether you rent an apartment or are working on a smaller secondary bathroom in your forever home. You can of course have the space remodeled, but that can be expensive and will take longer also.
Thankfully, there are plenty of clever design solutions you can use to make your space look and feel bigger quickly – and without spending a fortune.
Working with natural light, using tiles cleverly and finding the perfect layout is a must for all good small bathroom ideas according to experts. As is keeping windows free from fussy drapes and the entire room clear of clutter…
The beauty of using a glass ‘shower curtain’ is that you’ll never have that problem again – and, it will make your shower space feel larger and more stylish.
When we can ‘see’ all of a space, our brains are tricked into believing that it’s larger than it is. You can have the glass cut to size too which means they can fit even the tiniest of corners.
Wall-hung units are a key design trick to utilize to make your small bathroom feel bigger. Being able to see your flooring creates the illusion of space so if you can choose a basin that’s narrow and you can use the wall tiles to create the shelf then you’re on to an interior design winner.
The result will be a seamless feel that looks fabulous. And don’t forget to use wall-mounted fixtures and fittings – make a feature of them by choosing a bright brass – a great look that also creates a warming glow.
Not only will this achieve a seamless feel, it also creates a much sought after hotel chic style. Using large format tiles on both the walls and floor – using a marble effect or pale tiles, will lighten and brighten your bathroom hugely.
The result will be a fresh looking bathroom that’s easy to clean, spacious and smart.
When you have a small and dark bathroom to contend with you need to be clever with how you use paint.
White will always brighten up so one great interior design hack is to only paint the top half white – from the chair rail upwards so that the light coming in from the window will bounce off it.
One of the simplest ways to make a small bathroom feel bigger is to invest in the best mirror ideas. If you can cope with a mirrored wall then do as it will double the appearance of your bathroom, however, they aren’t for everyone – we don’t all want to see ourselves that much.
As an alternative, a good sized mirror placed above the basin will easily suffice and one with curvy corners will look more ‘friendly’ than an angular design.
