Simple Ways to Make Your Bathroom Seem Larger

If you want to make your small bathroom look larger, you don’t need to spend a great deal of money. 

Begin with choosing a pale, soft color which tends to give the illusion of more space, and the feeling of serenity.

You can jazz up your bathroom with bright accessories, towels, and throw rugs.  If you like wallpaper, remember to choose open, airy designs with white and neutral colors, as bold, busy wallpaper will make the room appear smaller

Think about replacing your vanity with a pedestal sink or a wall mounted sink, both which provide a feeling of openness.  Add a large mirror over the sink to reflect all the light in the room while it picks up the colors. 

Avoid the use of shelves or hanging racks.  Anything that protrudes will take up space, and make the area feel smaller.

Keep your floor covering light, again adding bold or pattern throw rugs for accents.

And lastly, don’t forget about lighting.  The brighter and lighter the room, the larger it will appear.  Add decorative wall sconces, and table lamps in addition to overhead lighting and natural lighting provided for by windows and skylights.
