Tiny bathrooms are a common problem! Of course, remodelling is always an option, but it is costly and also takes longer. The good news? With clever design solutions, you can instantly transform your space to appear bigger without breaking the bank. Designers advise that determining the best layout, using tiles creatively and using natural lighting is the key to successful bathroom decoration.
This article discusses some helpful décor tips to make your small bathroom space appear larger. It also answers some frequently asked questions on the topic.
By now, you must be so over that shower curtain that constantly clings to you when wet. With a glass shower curtain, this will be a thing of the past. Besides, it will make your washroom more stylish and create the illusion of a bigger space. When you can see everything in a space, your brain is tricked into believing it is bigger than it is. What’s more? Because the glass can be cut to size, it can fit even the tightest corners. To ensure your door always has a gleaming finish, ensure you clean it well.
Another crucial design trick that makes your small bathroom seem larger is utilising wall-hung units. Doing so ensures more floor space is visible, creating the illusion of space. In the spirit of saving floor space, also consider going for a narrow freestanding bathtub and creating shelving using wall tiles. The result? A seamless dreamy feel. Also, remember to incorporate wall-mounted fixtures and fittings made of bright brass, preferably.
Yes, it is agreeable that bathroom vanity cabinets come with several perks. For instance, you can safely store your possessions below the sink. However, they can be space wasters, especially in tiny bathrooms. So, if you want more space, replace your vanity cabinet with a pedestal sink or cantilevered countertop.
One benefit of having a small bathroom is that a smaller space will require fewer materials, such as tiling. Therefore, if the cost has always been a constraint when redecorating, a tiny bathroom space makes things easier.
Here are some transformative bathroom tile ideas to inspire your next project:
Using several different materials in your bathroom can be chaotic, causing your bathroom to feel cramped. Imagine a tiny bathroom with marble floor tiles, ceramic wall tiles, glass mosaic on the wainscot and drywall above the wainscot. All this can be summed up in one word: messy.
It is, therefore, advisable to tone down the visual noise by using similar materials throughout the room. For instance, you can use large-format marble tiles on both the floor and walls to give your bathroom an airy and breezy feel. The result is a fresh-looking washroom with a seamless feel and the much-sought-after hotel chic style.
Sometimes, you may desire more than just tiled walls. For instance, a picture of a gorgeous rustic scheme may be stuck in your mind. As you may have read earlier, the advantage of having a small bathroom is that you have less space to decorate. Therefore, you won’t need much to create your desired look. If you find wood appealing, you can use reclaimed boards on the walls as they add a warm and inviting vibe evocative of a comfy cabin.
Many people think having a tiny washroom means ‘shower only’, which isn’t the case. Even for the smallest bathrooms, you can always find a bathtub that fits. This is particularly beneficial for individuals that aren’t fans of showers. Just remember that you’ll have to sit up more, but you’ll still be able to relax after a long day. Complete the look with a paint colour that matches your room’s colour scheme to achieve a cohesive feel.
Besides adding to the illusion of increased bathroom space, mirrors bounce off more light into your room. Consider getting a super large mirror (5ft by 3ft). You can install them easily using a drill, screws and drill bits. Alternatively, you can opt for two mirrors at the intersection of two walls. The L-shaped configuration reflects more light into the room, making it feel even more expansive.
An important point to remember is that frameless mirrors are better at adding the feeling of more space than framed mirrors. For the heavier mirrors, screw into studs to support them. Since the bathroom is often damp, consider a tarnish-resistant coating to protect your mirrors from high-moisture conditions.
A well-thought-out lighting layout will make your space seem larger. Designers recommend placing pendants and wall lights on every side of the bathroom mirror. Also, consider installing frosted strips in mirrors and recessed lights in the ceilings. The key to fantastic small bathroom lighting is subtly placing the lights so they can’t be easily noticeable.
From glass showers and mirrors to floating storage spaces and wall lights, there is no limit to what you can do to make your small bathroom appear larger. Even better, the above tips are easy to achieve and cost-friendly, too, so there is no excuse for contending with a cramped bathroom. We hope these tips will be helpful in your next small bathroom redecoration project.
