Make a Small Bathroom Look Bigger with the Proper Vanity
For anyone with a small bathroom, either in a condominium, an older home, or even a new home, it’s possible to make the bathroom look much bigger than it really is.
While it
would be a great asset if all homes had
bathrooms the size of bedrooms, this is hardly
ever a possibility. There are many tips on how
to make a bathroom seem big, even when it feels
like it’s the size of a matchbox.
Creating Illusions
To start, a bathroom vanity set should not be
too large for the room. Choosing a pedestal sink
will create more floor space and in turn, make
the room seem bigger. In addition, choosing the
largest mirror as possible to match the vanity
will create an illusion of more space in the
room.
Using Color
When deciding what color to paint the walls in a
tiny bathroom, keep in mind that dark colors
tend to close in the room. Light colors make any
room (not just a bathroom) seem bigger and more
airy. Using light colors on the walls will make
the room seem much less like a small box.
Wallpaper
If wallpaper instead of paint is going to be
used, make sure to pick a pattern that does not
have large flowers or any other “big” patterns.
Big patterns can be extremely overwhelming in a
small room. Using wallpaper with small patterns,
or a light texture can make the room feel bigger
and more welcoming.
Reflectivity
If at all possible, pick out a bathroom vanity
set that is made of a reflective material. Shiny
or glass surfaces reduce the “bulky” feel of
heavier materials, and can really enhance a
small bathroom. In addition to a mirror over the
sink, think about hanging additional mirrors on
all available walls.
Small bathrooms can be made to feel larger than
they are with the proper decorating techniques.
Following simple tips can create an illusion
that a small bathroom is not a confining,
claustrophobic “closet.”
