Not all homes have the square footage to accommodate a spacious bathroom, but there are ways that homeowners can make their small bathrooms appear larger than they are. From mirrors to frameless shower doors, consider using these tricks to give your bathroom a more oversized look and feel.

3 Ways to Create the Illusion of a Big Bathroom

1. Install a Large Mirror

Mirrors reflect light into small spaces, making those areas appear brighter and twice as large. Frameless options are effective because they don't have borders that take up more space. The larger the mirror, the more dramatic its effect will be. Even if a wall is too narrow or an unconventional shape, you can have a custom installation to fit the unique space

2. Avoid Too Many Decorations

While mirrors are ideal, other decorative wall items should be avoided. Hanging too many pieces of artwork can make small spaces appear cluttered and crowded.

Limit yourself to only one small piece of artwork in your bathroom. Instead, use colorful paint on the walls to add personality to the room; lighter colors reflect more light and work best in small spaces.

3. Install Frameless Shower Doors

Showers and bathtubs are usually the largest features in bathrooms. Frameless shower doors help create the illusion that they are smaller by making them almost entirely transparent. Frameless shower doors are made of thick tempered glass that can be custom designed for your room's dimensions.
