If your home doesn’t have a large, luxury bathroom, you can still make it appear larger than it is. By adjusting certain features—such as your color palette and shower door—you can create the illusion of a bigger room without investing in a major remodel. Below are a few tips to help you create the bathroom of your dreams.

3 Ways to Make Your Small Bathroom Seem Larger

1. Use Light Colors

Many decorators encourage installing white tiles, countertops, and paint in bathrooms because they reflect light and naturally recede, making spaces appear roomy and bright. Colors that recede appear to move away from you, giving the illusion of more depth.

If white isn’t your preference, choose lighter tones of neutrals such as cream, gray, or green instead of darker colors. However, try not to use more than one color, as this can create lines that divide the space and make it look smaller. 

2. Install Shower Doors

Whether you have a bather tub or shower, it is the largest bathroom feature. One way to reduce the visual appearance of this fixture is by installing frameless glass doors to open the square footage of the room.

Frameless shower doors are transparent and make a bathroom feel significantly more spacious. They are also low maintenance because there are fewer areas for water to collect, preventing mold growth. 

3. Upgrade the Mirror

Mirrors reflect light back into a room, which gives the illusion of extra space. Consider doubling the size of your existing mirror if you have enough wall space. Many homeowners add tile to the walls to make small bathrooms look bigger. However, you can save on the cost of installing these by purchasing a custom-sized mirror instead. Large mirrors look sophisticated can brighten dark corners, enhancing the overall design of the room.
