If your bathroom is small, you may have trouble getting ready in the morning or moving around in the room. Luckily, there are some tricks you can use to maximize the space. With a bathroom remodel, you can make the room more visually appealing and even improve its functionality. To help you create a spa-like oasis, here are some tips for making your bathroom appear larger. 

Tips for Remodeling Small Bathrooms

1. Use Floating Vanities

Vanities take up a lot of space. If you want to create the illusion of more room, use floating vanities, which go against the wall and leave a gap underneath. It’s easy to add storage bins beneath these if necessary, and they’ll look less bulky than a cabinet.

2. Stick to Light Colors

Dark colors like navy and black make spaces feel cramped. This is especially true for bathrooms, which don’t always have windows. Light colors like yellow and white will help the space feel larger. If you still want a pop of color, consider painting the room sea-foam green or baby blue, or add colorful details with artwork or hand towels. During your bathroom remodel, you can also change your plumbing fixtures to gold or copper, which will also create bright, elegant elements.

3. Use Mirrors Strategically

Mirrors are a tool for making small spaces look larger, since they reflect light and conceal walls. Long wall mirrors can add depth to a short bathroom, and tall, thin mirrors can create the illusion of height. It’s best to choose a single fixture so they don’t clash. To maximize this effect, choose frameless mirrors, which will look like an extension of your wall.
