Small Bathroom – visually enlarge its appearance.
If you do not live in a custom-built house with a luxurious bath tub and wardrobe, you probably, like most of us, own a small bathroom. That’s right, a small bathroom can be cosy and intimate. It can also give a claustrophobic and depressing impression. Depending on the style of finish you use, it can be quiet and refined, charming or shiny like a jewellery box.
No matter what style you decorate your small bathroom, it will always be small. Still, with a little bit of visual magic, a change in colour and lighting, you can transform your small bathroom into a cosy bathing room.
The bathroom is a very unique space where we spend a lot of time. Use some of the recommended decorative tricks to make your bathroom look and larger, even if it stays the same size.
Choose calm and soft colours for your bathroom.
Subdued, delicate colours give the illusion of more space. Of course, this does not mean that a small bathroom must be powder pink, but it is definitely better to avoid
strong, intense colours. It’s definitely better to emphasize accessories and towels, and leave pastel, neutral and white tones for the background. „Cool” colours give us a sense of peace.
Brighten the bathroom room
Without taking up extra space on the countertop or floor, you can complement the lighting of your bathroom to further brighten its appearance. The recessed luminaire can be installed in the ceiling and focused on any area. Wall lamps or LED panels mounted above the mirror are a great solution. A more expensive alternative to bringing more light into the room would be e.g. skylights or larger windows. We cannot always afford such solutions.
Vanity unit
The washbasin cabinet provides a convenient place to store the necessary items in the bathroom. Supplementing the hanging washbasin with a vanity unit or replacing it with a leg will add elegance to your bathroom. Thanks to this, you will also gain space to collect your small items.
Enlarge the space with mirrors
A fantastic way to enlarge the optical space is a large mirror. Decide on the largest you can afford and place them above the sink. The mirror will reflect all the light in the bathroom and strengthen the colours, thanks to which our bathroom salon will gain visual dimensions. It is also worth considering a collection of mirrors arranged artistically in place of one large mirror.
Choose a light floor for the bathroom
As with the walls, the floor will give the impression of greater if it is finished with a light colour. If you cannot replace the floor in the bathroom, choose a large, bright rug, which will also become an elegant accessory.
