Make Small Bathrooms Feel Spacious

make small bathrooms feel spacious

Having functional bathrooms that don’t feel cramped and crowded is integral in every home, but that can often feel hard to master if your bathroom has an awkward layout or doesn’t have a lot of space to work with. Wondering what you can do to get the most out of the space you do have? We have a few tips to make sure your bathroom feels spacious and uses every inch in a smart and practical manner. 

  1. When it comes to your shower, it could be beneficial to go with a clear glass and no frame. The clear glass allows you to see every inch of the space and can make it feel larger while the frosted glass that’s often found around showers can feel like a divider that cuts the space in half. 
  2. Brighten up the room by choosing a light color to paint all the walls and ceiling. You’ll also want to choose a light flooring option that complements the walls. Add in some additional lighting that will make the bathroom feel brighter. You’ll be amazed at how much a little paint can make your bathroom feel double its size. 
  3. Adding in more mirrors or larger mirrors than you typically would in a bathroom will reflect the light and give it an airy atmosphere.
  4. Consider other sink and storage options that will maximize the flow of your bathroom. As much as people enjoy a great vanity, it can make small bathrooms feel even smaller. Sometimes, it’s best to go with a pedestal sink and incorporate some wall storage that can be used to hold your bathroom accessories. 
  5. Changing out the door that you use to enter the bathroom can also drastically help make the bathroom feel larger. Any door that swings out can immediately make a small space feel even smaller, so switching it up to include a sliding door or pocket door won’t take away any of the space.
