When it is time to renovate your small bathroom, you may be wondering if there are ways to make a tight space seem roomier. Choosing the right colors and fixtures goes a long way in creating a larger look and feel. Here are five tips and tricks for creating more space during a bathroom remodeling project.

Tips to Make a Small Bathroom Seem Bigger

1. Light Colors

Small rooms benefit from lighter hues on the walls and flooring, especially if there isn’t a lot of natural sunlight filtering in. Choose white, cream, or light gray flooring to give the illusion of more square footage. If your bathroom remodeling design seems too monochromatic, add pops of bright or darker colors as accessories. Match tiles and wall shades, and consider painting the ceiling the same color to visually expand the space.

2. Mirrors

Large mirrors create the illusion of more room, especially oversized ones that cover almost the entire wall. Mirrors add depth and can even be an attractive focal point for the room. If possible, hang them across from a window so more natural light is reflected inside.

3. Floating Vanity

Floating vanities are wall mounted and provide extra floor space that can be used for storage, trash bins, step stools, and more. These sinks also allow you to continue the same color from the floor and walls; the less segmented the space is, the more spacious it will feel.

4. Glass Shower

Remove the existing tub, and add a shower stall to save space. When you design your new shower, craft it from clear glass to eliminate the visual barrier walls create. Bathrooms appear bigger when the area has an open design. Extend shower tiles to the ceiling.

5. Recessed Storage

Whether it is a medicine cabinet or a linen closet, build recessed storage spaces into the walls to free up the floors. In a small bathroom, inches can make a big difference, and making use of the walls reduces wasted space.
