Small Bathroom Makeovers That Pack A Punch

Use Mirrors To Create An Illusion Of Space. Adding mirrors to any room, including bathrooms, makes the space feel larger and brighter. [External Link - 15 bathroom ideas] While mirrors are staples for bathroom vanities, you can also add more mirrors as decor or to provide a better view when you’re cleaning up.

Because they’re reflective, mirrors improve the perceived space, making your room feel larger. They also illuminate your space even more by reflecting light.

Add A Walk-In Shower With A Glass Door. Walk-in showers are a great choice for any size bathroom renovation because they can fit nearly any space. A walk-in shower with a glass door will make your bathroom design cleaner and more seamless. Glass will also contribute to the spaciousness of your room, because opaque surfaces could make your room feel smaller.

Walk-in showers come in plenty of different sizes and styles, so consider different tiles, layouts, showerheads and more for your small bathroom renovation.

If you’re concerned about accessibility, walk-in showers are wonderful because they’re easier for people with mobility issues to use.

Choose A Cohesive Layout. Prioritise function and flow when designing your layout. Position key elements, like the toilet and vanity, for maximum use of space. Think about how you use your bathroom every day and imagine your ideal layout.

It’s crucial to balance form and function when you design your layout. Practicality should be your top priority, but you also want your small bathroom to look wonderful.

Use Wall-Mounted Fixtures. Wall-mounted fixtures like floating vanities free up floor space. You can then use the floor space for extra storage containers, or leave it open to contribute to the openness of your room.

Install Recessed Shelving. Recessed shelving that’s built into your shower walls or above your vanities reduces clutter. Consider this kind of shelving for areas where you frequently use products, like showers, so you have easy access to your daily goods.

Use Tall, Slim Cabinets. Make the most of your vertical space by choosing tall, slim cabinets that don’t take up much floor space but have plenty of storage. Put products you use frequently in easier-to-access shelves, and reserve the higher shelves for goods that you only need occasionally.

Clever bathroom storage ideas help you store all of your products without clutter. Make use of your walls and vertical space to save floor space while maximising storage.

Choose A Lighter Colour Palette. The colour of your walls, ceilings, floors and fixtures will influence your perception of space and the mood of your bathroom. Colours like blue are associated with calmness, yellow instills a sense of happiness, etc.

If you want to influence the sense of space in your small bathroom, then you can choose lighter colours. Light colours like whites, soft neutrals and pastels reflect more light and make rooms feel like they’re larger than they are. Conversely, darker colours make spaces feel smaller and more intimate.

Light-coloured finishes can be paired with mirrors and space-saving designs to really change your perception.

Use Larger Tiles. Using large tiles means there will be fewer grout lines, making the space feel less busy. You could also use the same tiles for floors and walls, creating a continuous feel.

Another trick to make ceilings feel taller is to have two-tone walls. Do this by changing the colour or material of your walls halfway up, which adds depth. For example, you could have the upper portion of your wall be white plaster and then have tiles for the lower half and the floor.

Introduce New Lighting. Layered lighting can have an incredible effect on any room. Use accent, ambient and task lighting to add depth and visual interest.

Remember to prioritise task lighting around vanities so you can accurately see yourself in the mirror. Gentle ambient lighting in other areas could instill a spa-like vibe to your small bathroom.

LEDs are a popular choice for bathrooms because they’re energy-efficient, long-lasting and affordable.
