How To Make A Small Bathroom Feel Bigger
Glass: Glass shower enclosures can make a small bathroom feel bigger since you can see from one side of the room to the other. Also think about widening a window or installing a skylight to create a feeling of openness and allow more natural light. Remember you can incorporate the time-honored tradition of using mirrors to make a space feel more expansive. Sinks: If you can hang the sink and vanity on the wall, it will help give the room a cleaner look. Ensure you have storage space somewhere so the sink doesn’t end up cluttered with toiletries. Many manufacturers also offer extra-small sinks or ones designed to fit into corners. Toilets: Although most toilets are a standard size, some are designed for smaller spaces. The closer to the wall a toilet is, the less space it uses. Also, look at toilets with a lower tank that occupy less space. Baths and Showers: Some manufacturers make bathtubs designed for a small space but you may have to do without the Jacuzzi features. You can cheat a little by raising the tub’s rim height since a higher rim will give the bather a more pleasurable soak. Showers fit more easily into a small space and some are designed for very cramped quarters. Other Tricks: White and light-colored paint can make a room feel bigger. If you’re going to install shelves, try to place them so you can see straight through to the wall. This helps give a feeling of space.
