When it comes to bathroom remodeling, many homeowners ask the same question: How do you make the room appear larger? While small bathrooms offer a cozy charm, they can also feel cramped. Follow these three tips to make yours feel more spacious.

3 Ways to Make Your Small Bathroom Appear Larger

1. Light It Up

Adding more lights is a simple way to make a space feel more open, airy, and spacious. Try placing a sconce on each side of your vanity mirror.

These small, wall-mounted fixtures illuminate spaces without taking up much room. In addition, installing frosted glass windows and skylights will invite natural light while protecting your privacy. 

2. Choose a Large Mirror 

Mirrors reflect light and create the illusion of more space; the bigger the mirror, the more space you create. That’s why the mirror over your vanity or sink should go all the way up to the ceiling.

Do you have two vanities or sinks? According to bathroom remodeling experts, getting one large mirror instead of two smaller ones will make the room feel bigger, especially if the mirror’s frameless. 

3. Get a Frameless Glass Shower Door

As the largest object in your bathroom, your shower (or shower and tub combination) is the biggest culprit when it comes to feeling cramped. Swap the curtain for a frameless glass door to make the shower less of an obstruction. Make sure it’s clear glass; a textured glass door will look like another wall and make the space feel smaller.
