Large, luxurious bathrooms are truly a contemporary trend. Master bathrooms of the past were traditionally quite small. It’s only in the last 20 years or so that large bathrooms have become a necessity in the modern home. But where does that leave all the people who still have homes with small bathrooms? It means that they’ll have to get creative if they want their small bathroom to feel big and beautiful, too! Here are some of the smartest ways to make even the smallest bathroom feel a whole lot bigger.
People often forget how many options they have when it comes to their bathroom design. They forget that they can gain tons of room some making some structural and foundational changes to the room. For instance, many small bathrooms would benefit from a wall-mounted toilet rather than the traditional stool with tank. This creates extra floor space, more leg room, and gives everything more breathing space. The same goes for a tub. If you find that you don’t use it then you should lose it! Replace it with a smaller shower and you’ll be amazed by the amount of space it creates. People often overlook the fact that they don’t need to have the standard swinging door into their bathroom either. Installing a pocket door or a sliding barn door can add a whopping nine square feet of space to the room.
You can also use interior design to make better use of the small bathroom space or to make the space appear larger. The most effective way to make a room seem huge is to have wall-sized mirrors in the room. But that can be expensive. Another idea is to install dark-colored floors and pair them with lighter-colored walls. The contrast in this combination creates the illusion of space. An accent wall is another fun idea. Installing an accent wall allows you to choose the focal point of the room and draw people’s eyes toward it. It creates depth and interest to a space without overwhelming it.
These are only a few of the great ideas for making a small bathroom seem larger. Check out the full article below to learn all the best methods!
