1. Color magic game

The key to making a bathroom look bigger is the use of the right color. Choose white, off-white or light cream colored tiles instead of dark colors. Light colors reflect light. This blurs the boundaries of the walls and makes the space look much bigger and brighter.

2. Size and design of tiles

Don’t make the mistake of using small tiles in small bathrooms. The larger the size of the tiles, the fewer the joints or grouting lines. It makes the entire bathroom seem like one big uninterrupted space. Also it is important to maintain same design or shade in floor and wall tiles.

3. Fittings should be consistent

Matching the tiles to the color of the bathroom fittings or shower faucet is an effective technique. Choosing fittings to match the color of the tiles does not create an extra ‘visual border’. For example, white tiles with chrome finish or light shade fittings add elegance.

4. Use of mirrors and glass

Place large mirrors in small bathrooms. The mirror’s reflection will make the space look twice as big. Also, use clear glass partitions instead of curtains or opaque glass to separate the shower area. The vision will not be stuck anywhere.

5. Smart storage

The more floor space there is, the bigger the bathroom will feel. So instead of floor cabinets, make floating cabinets on walls or doors. Keep the bathroom tidy by removing unnecessary items.

With little expense and these small changes, your bathroom can become a modern and comfortable haven of peace.
