1. Use light colors: Lighter colors make a small space appear larger, so focus on using light-colored tiles, walls and fixtures.
2. Install mirrors: Strategically placed mirrors can create the illusion of more space. Try hanging one large mirror or several smaller ones to reflect light and give the impression of more openness.
3. Go for a frameless shower enclosure: A frameless shower enclosure eliminates the visual barrier created by framed shower doors, which can make your bathroom feel more enclosed.
4. Use vertical space: To save floor space, consider hanging storage shelves, cabinets or baskets to store towels, toiletries, and other bathroom essentials.
5. Keep it simple: Avoid cluttering your bathroom with too many decorations or accessories. Keep things simple, with minimal designs, and remove anything unnecessary.
6. Use the right lighting: Good lighting can make a small space feel larger, so focus on creating an overall bright atmosphere, and add task lighting near the mirror for grooming and make-up application.
7. Create the illusion of height: Hang floor-to-ceiling curtains or drapes to make the ceiling look taller, and consider installing a higher toilet.
8. Add plant life: Adding greenery to a small bathroom can make it feel larger and more inviting. Choose small, low-maintenance plants that thrive in humid conditions.
