TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR SMALL BATHROOM BRIGHTER AND BIGGER

1. MIRRORS

Mirrors automatically open up a space, so use the largest mirror that will work in your bathroom. While a medicine cabinet over the sink provides storage, they’re generally pretty small, so save that space for a big mirror and use other areas for storage instead.

2. A SKYLIGHT

This may be the most labor-intensive tip we have, but if you can install a skylight, it will definitely brighten up a small space. Natural light is the best thing for small spaces, plus you’ll bring a little bit of the outside in.

3. DRAMATIC LIGHT FIXTURES

In a small space, drawing attention to something that’s not about the size of the room will help keep the focus where you want it. In a tiny bathroom, add some drama with a funky light fixture, but make sure it’s not too big. You want it to be a focal point but not comically large.

4. A PLANT

Adding live greenery makes a space feel more inviting, which can make it feel larger and more beautiful. If you’re worried about taking up too much floor space, hang a plant near the window or in a corner that won’t take up any precious storage space.

5. ENHANCE SPACE

Large-scale graphic prints can make a space feel more substantial and simultaneously add visual impact. Black and white checkerboard tile stretches out the narrow design of a small bath. Give your bath graphic appeal by laying geometric-patterned tiling on the floor, or painting a checkerboard pattern on a wood floor.

6. GLASS SHOWER DOOR

If you’re starting your small bathroom design from scratch, consider scrapping the curtain entirely. Instead use glass shower doors in a small bath, as it will help to open up the space.

7. COLOR PALETTE

Use a monochrome palette to decorate your small bathroom. When everything is of the same colour, you are not able to discern the boundaries of walls and floors and pretty much everything which is a blessing for sure. Keep the hangers and storage units metal coloured or in coordination with the overall colour theme of the bathroom.

8. WALL SHELVES

You can create a recessed wall shelf by just building a shelf into the false wall. You can understand it with the example where some bricks are left out while making a wall to give a wall shelf kind of storage option.
