Many people wish their bathroom could be larger and more luxurious. However, a lot of homes can’t accommodate expanding a bathroom. Luckily, there are several bathroom remodeling and designing hacks that can transform your bathroom to make it look larger.

4 Bathroom Remodeling Tips That Will Make Your Space Feel Larger

1. Upgrade Your Mirror

The reflection of a mirror gives the illusion of a larger space. If the mirror over your sink is small, consider getting a bigger one to give the appearance of added room. You can also place mirrors on other walls in your bathroom to add to the effect. You’ll also get extra light if one faces a window.

2. Choose Light Colors

Light color schemes also add the illusion of space. Pastel tones and neutrals will make your bathroom seem more open and brighter. You can also go with a white on white design. This can look clean if well-maintained and visually expands the space. You can break up the white by including different textures and designs.

3. Consider a Smaller Vanity

Your vanity might be eating into the space in your bathroom. They’re often big and bulky, closing off the room. If you don’t need the whole area or could move some items to a nearby closet, put in a smaller one to change up the room. If you’re open to more bathroom remodeling, you can look into installing a floating vanity, which gives you more floor space, too.

4. Replace Your Bathtub with a Shower

Bathtubs are luxurious, but they take up a lot of space. Ask yourself how often you use your tub — if the answer is rarely or never, you can save a ton of space by taking out the bathtub and adding a freestanding shower. Choose one with clear glass so it doesn’t look like it’s taking away from the space of the room.
