While having a large bathroom isn’t necessarily something that can make or break the design of a home, most people would rather have a larger bathroom than a smaller bathroom. So if you feel like your bathroom is too small, rather than having to renovate in order to get more room, there are things you can do to make it feel like your bathroom is larger than it actually is.
To help you see how this can be done, here are three ways to make your small bathroom feel larger.
Add More Mirrors
The way you set up and design your bathroom can have a big impact on how big or small this room feels.
One design element that you can include to help make your bathroom appear larger is to add more mirrors. Because mirrors reflect light, they can make your bathroom appear lighter, brighter, and bigger when you have more mirrors. They can also make the room appear to have more space as the size of the room is reflected back into itself.
This can be accomplished either by installing a larger mirror into the space or by putting a larger number of mirrors in the space. Both ways would work for making the space appear bigger and feel lighter and brighter.
Keep Decor And Clutter To A Minimum
While you might want to add beautiful design elements to your bathroom, if you’re working with a small space, you’re going to want to be extra careful with how many decor elements and how much clutter you allow in your space. The more items you have taking up space in your bathroom, the smaller the space will appear.
To combat this, it’s best to keep your decor and any clutter in your bathroom to a minimum. As far as artwork or decor, it’s best to go with the idea that less really is more. And while you will want to keep your washes, creams, and lotions close so you can use them, you’ll also want to keep these things off of your counters and as hidden as possible.
Embrace White Fixtures And Accessories
The colors that you use in your space can also help to make your bathroom appear larger or smaller to the eye.
To help your bathroom appear as large as possible, the best color to use is white. With a white bathroom, the light will be reflecting off of every fixture and accessory, which can make the space seem much bigger. While you can add some contrasting colors to smaller details of the bathroom, if you keep the main colors white, you’ll notice that the bathroom will feel much larger.
If you have a small bathroom that you want to make feel as large as possible, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you get this.
