5 Practical Ideas to Make a Small Bathroom Look Bigger

A spacious and stylish bathroom is a dream come true for many homeowners. But no longer! Here, we reveal five easy and practical design strategies that give your bathroom a larger look.

1. Use a Clear Glass Panel in Your Shower
Replace your shower curtain, which creates a visual wall, with a glass panel or door. Contact Shower Lagoon to get a high-quality custom glass door in Toronto. This way, the entire room will be visible which gives it a bigger look, especially when you’re in the shower.

For an even more seamless look, consider a frameless corner glass shower enclosure. This will get rid of all visual barriers.

If you prefer privacy, install a frosted or tinted glass panel. This will still let in a lot of light and give you a cozy and peaceful shower experience.

2. Opt for Wall-Hung Fixtures and Fittings
If you have a tight bathroom space and want some much-needed breathing room, a nice strategy is to opt for wall-hung fixtures and fittings. Everything from the toilet and basin to accessories like the toilet roll holder and toilet brush can be wall-mounted to make your floors appear longer.

To fit smaller bathrooms, choose compact over standard-sized toilets, baths, and basins. In addition to the wall-hung style, compact toilets also come in a back-to-wall style, providing flexibility in design.

3. Choose Lighter Colours
Natural and light colours can do wonders in small spaces. There are certain colour tricks that you can apply to avoid that gloomy and drab feeling. Such as:

  • Use the same colour across walls, ceilings, and doors to give the impression of space.
  • Use white as a base with splashes of pale blush, soft blue, green, or taupe.
  • You can even go for an all-white style, as white reflects light better than any other colour.
  • To maintain consistency, paint the wall space the same colour as your tiles.

4. Use Clever Storage Options
Clutter makes any room feel even smaller. Use smart storage solutions like drawer inserts, wall-mounted rails, a washstand with storage underneath, and shelves over your door to keep all your essentials tidy and within reach. This will make the space feel less crowded and allow you more foot room.

Bonus Tip: Use magnetic strips in cupboards to hang razors, tweezers, and other tiny essentials.

5. Add Extra Light
Light is the most essential element to bringing out the best in your bathroom. Good lighting can immediately make any space look more open and bigger. However, bathrooms often don’t have much available natural light.

In that case, you need good lighting to do essential things like shave or apply makeup. You don’t need to go overboard with more wall or ceiling lights. Invest in a good light that can illuminate the bathroom mirror. This will also improve the ambience of the entire bathroom.
