Making a Small Bathroom Look Bigger
Having a small bathroom may mean you have to compromise on space, but it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. There are many ways you can make your bijous bathroom seem larger than it is, whilst adding a touch of elegance.
Natural Light
An easy way of creating a sense of space is to maximise the amount of natural light coming into your bathroom. This is not always easy, as many of us cannot simply change the shape and size of our windows. However, keeping windows uncovered – if they have frosted glass – will help make the most of that sunshine.
Paint the Ceiling and Walls the Same colour
Painting your ceiling and walls the same or similar colours will help to create a roomy feel, as it will not break up your walls or draw the eye to the top of the wall – and therefore noticing the width or length of them!
Recessed Shelves
Traditional shelves take up valuable real estate, so building recessed shelves into your bathroom walls, you are taking back that space. Recessed shelves also look extremely stylish and can be made into a focal point by using different tiles or paint colour within the recess.
Wall Panels
Believe it or not, large bathroom wall panels can actually help your bathroom look larger than it really is. The size of the panels creates an optical illusion, making your walls appear longer and wider.
Mirrors
Mirrors are another way of creating an optical illusion. A few carefully placed mirrors can help your bathroom seem twice the size. They also help to reflect all that natural light, which again helps to create a sense of space.
Neutral colours
Although small rooms can take vibrant or dark colours, the use of neutral colours will help to create a brighter, calmer, more spacious feeling bathroom. Complement these natural tones with a similar style of wall panel and you will feel you are in a roomy, open bathroom rather than a small, stifling room.
