The bathroom is usually one of the smallest parts of a home despite being one of the most frequently used. Fortunately, there are several ways you can make a small bathroom look and feel larger. Most of these involve creating the illusion of a larger space.
South Shore Dream Bath, one of your trusted bathroom remodeling companies, shares some design tips.
Natural light can help make a small bathroom feel airier and more spacious. The easiest way to improve natural lighting would be to install new windows. Of course, you’d need to balance natural lighting with your privacy needs. If you’re looking for a bathroom window replacement, awning windows would be a smart choice. Even when open, awning windows with privacy glass can protect your bathroom from prying eyes.
Alternatively, you can incorporate more glass elements into the bathroom design. A strategically placed bathroom mirror can help distribute sunlight more evenly while a frameless glass shower doors can give the illusion of a large, continuous bathroom.
The lighter the shade of a color is, the more light it can reflect. Choosing a bright color scheme can help distribute sunlight throughout your bathroom, reinforcing the illusion of a larger floor space.
What if you prefer dark colors? If you’re going to double down on dark colors, you should choose high-gloss tiles in a super dark color. Glossy colors can reflect a small amount of light and, with the right design, create a big-night-sky effect.
Of course, there’s only so much you can do with a few visual tricks. If you want a larger bathroom, you’ll need to physically expand the floor space. For more tips on how to make your bathroom feel bigger, consult one of your local bathroom remodeling contractors.
