A small bathroom can be just as functional and convenient as a large one. However, you have to be a bit creative in how you manipulate such a small space to give it a refreshed look. Here are some simple ideas you can use to make your small bathroom look new.
Install a large mirror
The larger a mirror you can add to a small space, the more spacious it will feel. If you are sharing the bathroom, a larger mirror will make it easier for the other person to get ready as well. The surface will reflect whatever light you have on, making the room look not just bigger but also brighter.
Colour the ceiling
Matching the color of the ceiling with the wall after you have removed crown molding can help make the space look taller, especially when reflected in the mirror. This is another visual trick that works well in making small spaces look larger than they actually are.
Install recessed lighting
If you have a hanging light fixture like a pendant or just a light bulb, consider changing it out for recessed lighting. This will help make the space also feel taller and with fewer shadows against the ceiling. It is a good way to brighten the space.
Remove shower door
If you have a shower door, chances are it takes up much of the space, especially when you have to get in or out of the shower. Switch this out for a sliding shower door or a simple shower curtain. A shower curtain may seem like a cheap alternative, but they do come in a range of colors, patterns, and imagery which you can use to decorate the space more creatively.
Hang your towel on the door
It can be tricky to decide where to install a towel bar in a small bathroom. Given that towels are not that heavy, consider using the back of your bathroom door. This will leave you with more freedom to position other fixtures and furniture.
Add color
Adding a splash of color can change the mood of a room. With the bathroom the are many ways to introduce this including shower curtains, bathroom rugs, and toilet seat covers. If you have untiled wall space, you can also paint a bright cheery color to make a more attractive space. You can even use bathroom decals to put up images or writing for a more unique touch.
