Certain designs and color choices can make a small bathroom feel even smaller, making it off-putting and claustrophobic. If you’re giving your bathroom a makeover, there are several steps you can take to brighten and enlarge the space, from adding custom glass elements to repainting. Below are some of the most effective ways to make your space feel larger.

How to Make Your Bathroom Feel Bigger

1. Use Mirrors

Mirrors will reflect open space, and the larger the mirror, the better. Place full-length mirrors across from a window or door to reflect even more open space and amplify the light in the room. If you have limited wall space available, you can visit a custom glass shop to have a mirror made to suit your bathroom’s size and aesthetic.

2. Install a Glass Shower Door

Glass shower doors won’t add a barrier to your room or box it in, as shower curtains often do. These doors will keep the room light and give it an open feeling. Glass doors can be made with patterned or opaque glass to maintain privacy without reducing light or openness.

3. Consider the Colors

Use a light color scheme with pale paint, rugs, and appliances. You can use darker colors as accents if desired, such as with cabinets or towels, but using a dark color as your primary choice will make the room feel smaller and closed in. You can also paint the ceiling the same color as the walls to make it feel further away and seamlessly blended.

4. Have Recessed Shelving, Cabinetry, & Lighting

If you’re able, get your shelving and cabinetry recessed into your walls. This keeps them from taking up valuable space in your room while still giving you the storage you need. You can also consider having recessed lighting, as large light fixtures can make the ceiling feel closer. Just be sure that the lighting is still bright and doesn’t make the room feel dim or uninviting.
