Does your bathroom look as small as a birdcage but you want it to look larger than life? There are a few ways you can do to make it seem spacious without literally adding floor area to it.
Many bathrooms do not look like the ridiculously big ones found in luxury homes owned by filthy rich celebrities. In fact, if you are on a tight budget and only own a small apartment or condominium unit, you are more likely to have a bathroom that seems like a tiny matchbox. On the other hand, just like any small space, you could get your bathroom to look like it is much bigger than it really is.
If you have the money for a few renovations, Sahuarita Sun recommends to think about patterns. If the bathroom is small, do not go for tiny mosaic tiles. Go for light-colored big tiles because this will trick the eye that the room is larger than it really is.
Have a window or skylight installed. Windows or skylights allow natural light to come in. Not only that, these connect the room to the space outdoors, thus giving your eyes that extra space to take in instead of having it confined within just the four tiny walls of the bathroom.
On the other hand, if you do not have the liberty or that much money to have a bathroom renovation, you can just simply change the lighting fixtures. Bright lights provide less shadow cast in the room. Again, this tricks the eye to thinking that the bathroom is spacious. You can also try brightly-colored paints on the wall because they garner that same effect.
Brit + Co also suggested to declutter your bathroom. Small plus messy is not exactly a good combination. In short, it is a double whammy. So if you want your bathroom to look bigger, clean it of mess. No bathroom products on the small sink. Hide them in a cabinet. This brings about the next tip.
Make use of a vertical cabinet or a medicine storage with big mirrors. Vertical cabinets have a couple of uses. First, they are helpful in keeping your bathroom supplies and second, they do not take too much of the small horizontal space. Medicine cabinets with large mirrors, on the other hand, provide both storage and illusion of a bigger bathroom. Remember, reflection is a small space's best friend.
