Make Your Bathroom Look Larger
Most bathrooms are not designed as a room where much leisure time is spent. Many bathrooms are downright small and basically, uncomfortable little rooms. If closet is more the word you would use to describe your bathroom, a little imagination and planning can make your bathroom look larger.
The following are simple decorating techniques you can apply to make your rather space-challenged bathroom look as grand as a spacious bathroom:
Maximize the use of mirrors. Mirrors create the illusion of a bigger area, as well as reflect light, thus making a space look brighter. Have a large mirror in the bathroom. Ideal place is behind the bathroom sink.
Nothing makes a small area seem smaller than clutter. Cut the clutter to make the bathroom more attractive in general. Instead of hanging numerous towels, at most hang one pair in a light tone coordinated with the color(s) of the bathroom. Rather than displaying many small artistic pieces, select only one. Avoid using numerous small accessories, stick to just one. Whatever you do not need, stash it out of sight. Ridding the room of clutter will instantly make it appear more spacious.
Don't worry about not being too fancy with dividing the shower area from the rest of the bathroom (with what little space is left). A shower door will only contract the appearance of the bathroom. This is known as visual obstruction. It's better to use a shower curtain that you can leave open when not in use for a more airy look.
Use adequate lighting. The brighter the bathroom looks, the more it will look bigger than it actually is.
Avoid using too many decorations to open up space. Only use those that you need. Similarly, organize your bath essentials by using containers instead of letting your stuff lie around. A messy bathroom is not only a major turn off but also makes it more crowded.
One decor that you shouldn't miss is the area rug. The lack of accessories won't be a problem with a piece of fabric on the floor to highlight the entire space. A light-colored area rug will help in making the bathroom look more spacious but if you prefer contrast, you can use an area rug with a rich color like red, brown or turquoise.
Make your bathroom appear larger by clearing clutter, using lighting and color (be sure to include the floor) to give the illusion of increased space.
