How to make your Small Bathrooms look Bigger

Best design ideas are the ones that bring forward the quality features of a room or space. The available area can be small or have less storage capacity, but with the right design it can be elevated in terms of both functionality and style. To help you design your small bathroom in the right way and give it a roomy and airy feel, Helpmebuild has gathered some useful ideas and inspirations.

The things to focus upon in a small bathroom are its materials and their colours; the kind of sinks and toilets you opt for can also determine the overall look of such a space. Let’s start with the materials that should be utilised for the showers and bathtubs. Showers can be made using see through materials like clear glass, as this will reduce the opaque elements present in the bathroom and make it look bigger. Glass can also be installed in the bathtub area in the form of screens, or you can choose to leave it open for a more airy look. You can also use transparent shower curtains instead of opaque ones to let light pass through. Mirrors are another way of making a small room look bigger, instead of just choosing a small one that goes above the sink opt for a floor-to-ceiling one that creates an illusion of a bigger space.

After you are done picking out the materials, think of the kind of sinks and storage units that can be installed in your small bathroom. Pedestal sinks work well as opposed to countertop varieties in such a setting; this is because they leave more floor space open. Towel Storage and Hangers can be used on the back of the doors and on empty walls adjacent to the sinks. 

Lastly, focus on keeping the colours and hues light and the decor as minimal as possible.

All of these pointers paired with good lighting makes for a well-designed small bathroom.
