HOW TO MAKE YOUR SMALL BATHROOM APPEAR LARGER!!!
LARGE MIRRORS
Even if you have no interest in interior design, by now you have probably heard that mirrors can make small spaces appear larger. I believe all bathrooms should have mirrors period! I spend most of my time getting ready in the bathroom, whether it’s doing my makeup or hair, a good mirror is a necessity.
So the bigger the better! For smaller rooms, it gives the illusion that there is additional room and it reflects light, making the room look larger than it really is.

SMART STORAGE
Bathroom storage will be an enormous help when it comes to keeping your bathroom clean and clear. So the storage has to be smart and hidden away. If possible, have some storage built into the walls.
Keep as much things as possible off of the countertops by using deep drawers to keep all of your everyday products tucked neatly away.
Use as much wall space as you can. Hanging baskets or floating shelves are a great way to store things you use everyday, they don't take up much space and they look stylish at the same time.

CONTINUOUS TILES
If you can, try to use the same floor tiles throughout, running from the floor of the bathroom to the shower floor. It instantly makes the space bigger. These tiles can be plain or patterned. it does not matter, once there is continuity.

LIGHT & COLOUR
The paint colours that you choose for your bathroom walls, can make a huge difference in how your bathroom appears.
Light colours tend to make a space look light and airy, which again makes it appear larger than it actually is.
Light colours tend to make a space look light and airy, mang it seem larger than it actually is.
Natural sunlight will also brighten up any space. Make sure to let in as much natural light as possible. Take full advantage of the light! This is easily done with windows or even a skylight. Brighter is bigger and bigger looks better!

VANITY SIZE
I know how convenient a vanity is, among other things, you have a resting place for your everyday products. When you have a small space though, a large vanity is just not wise.
If you can, make the vanity small to fit the size of the bathroom. A pedestal sink is even better because it takes up little space but you will have to get creative with the storage. A smaller vanity can still store everything you need and it will all be hidden. You can create many different sections in your individual drawers. This way you will have a specific place for all of your things.

DOORS (SLIDING/BIFOLD)
You can also save some space by using different options for your bathroom doors. Some bathroom doors tend to swing inwards and because of this, it can take up some much needed space.
Using bifold doors or a sliding track door can solve this issue. That way you still have privacy and space!!! If you have no choice but to use a swing door, then make the most of it by using the space behind the door as storage. Click here for more information on storage solutions.
Just remember that keeping a clear and clean bathroom, especially a small one, is key. You have to get rid of the clutter and keep all of your storage hidden if possible. Light, paint, tiles and cabinetry help with the appearance, so choose wisely and your bathroom will be fit for a queen!
