There are many other tricks to enlarge the space. Just for you, we listed some tips to make your bathroom look bigger. Enjoy and try it out!
1. Choose bright colours
One of the most important tricks would be to use a range of pal colours. Bright colours will tend to make the place look bigger, as they reflect the light rather than absorbing it. You don’t have to paint your bathroom eniterly white; pastel tones and neutrals for the background will do too. Hence, you could choose a neutral base of colours that you would combine with complementary colours.
2. Enhance the room’s brightness
Adding extra light to the bathroom will add more interest, because you are getting rid of any remaining shade. The best, but not the cheapest solution, would be to get this brightness from outside with larger windows. However, if this alternative is not possible, any extra artificial lighting would be a solution. Thereby, focus on a particular part of the room.
3. Smart storage
A lot of loose stuff in a small bathroom can be a conduct to a headache. That’s why it is important to optimize available space with furniture. Nevertheless, you could always opt for a wall niche anywhere and in any type of bathroom.
4. The add of mirrors
Mirrors are a very good solution to enlarge your bathroom. By reflecting the light, they make space look brighter but also bigger through an optical illusion. Placing a large mirror behind the bathroom sink could give the illusion that the room doubles in size. In addition, you could also place some mirrors on the opposite side of the windows to make them reflect the light more efficiently.
5. Change the vanity
Even if the vanity cabinet is a good storage provider, it often tends to fill up a lot of floor space. Thus, replacing the vanity with a pedestrian or a wall-mounted one, would free some floor space.
6. Reduce the number of accessories
Adding a lot of accessories tend to clutter up the room and fill up the already restricted space. Accessories are nice and give comfort, but try to minimize the accessories and store the rest. To give an example, add only one large rub instead of several ones.
As you can see, there are several ways to enlarge your bathroom, without having to rebuild the whole bathroom. Now you know how to make a small bathroom look bigger. Therefore, we would love to hear from you! Share with us your tips and tricks in the comments.
