1. Add Mirrors
Mirrors are one of the most effective ways to make a bathroom feel larger. Mirrors reflect light, which makes them great for adding natural illumination to your home. They also reflect space, creating the illusion of more room by reflecting and splitting up the space around them.
Finally, mirrors can make even a small bathroom feel larger by filling it with multiple reflections—this gives you the impression that there is more than one person in the room!
2. Use Multipurpose Furniture
- Use multipurpose furniture.
- Re-purpose your furniture to suit your needs, and also use furniture that has multiple uses.
If you’re in need of additional storage space, consider buying a dresser and placing it against the wall opposite the mirror (which will make the room feel larger). Then use it as an end table by adding a tray on top and placing items like candles or flowers on it. Or if you don’t want to spend any money at all, just find some old crates or wooden boxes and place them under your bed frame – this will create extra drawers for you! You could even convert an old wardrobe into two separate cabinets by carefully removing one side of each door using a screwdriver.
3. Choose Pale Paint Colors
You don’t want your bathroom to feel small, so it’s best to choose light colors for the walls and floor.
Pale shades make a room look bigger because they reflect light, making the space seem brighter. They’re also neutral, meaning they won’t draw attention away from your decor and focus on just one part of the room like dark colors would. Finally, pale colors are easy to match with other colors—you can easily paint an accent wall darker or lighter than the rest of your color scheme!
4. Get Creative With Lighting
Use colored lights.
Use different types of lighting.
Use a combination of different types of lighting and colored lights.
5. DIY a Floating Vanity
If you have a small bathroom, a floating vanity is one of the best ways to make it feel bigger. Floating vanities are also easy to install and they hide your plumbing under the countertop. They’re great for small bathrooms because they don’t take up any floor space. They add storage too and there are no visible pipes or drains on display in your bathroom which makes them easy to clean.
6. Incorporate Patterns and Bold Colors- But Sparingly
The key to incorporating patterns and bold colors is to be sparing. Too much of a good thing can overwhelm the space and make it feel smaller.
Instead, use patterns and bold colors as accents on your wall art or accessories. You can also use them as a part of your window dressing, such as curtains and valances.
7. Go Minimal with Hardware
- Use hardware that matches the color of the walls.
- Go for simple and streamlined hardware.
- Choose a color or material that is similar to your walls for your bathroom hardware.
- Avoid ornate, expensive, heavy pieces or anything too modern in style if you want to make a room seem larger.
8. Hide Your Toiletries
- Use a basket or box to store your toiletries.
- Hide them behind a cabinet door. This helps the space feel cleaner and more orderly, which is especially important if you’re going to be using the bathroom as an office or dressing room as well.
- If possible, hang towels on hooks instead of using towel racks or bars to hang them from the wall or over the tub/shower rod (if there’s one).
- Hang hand towels on paper towel holders rather than putting them in some kind of basket that takes up floor space and makes it look cluttered.
- Use decorative soap dishes to decorate each of your sinks and keep them looking pretty while also keeping clutter down!
