5 Sneaky Tricks To Make Your Bathroom Seem Larger
It’s no secret that the bathroom is an essential feature of any home. A good bathroom, spacious and with modern fittings, will not only make your daily routine easier, it will drastically increase the value of your home. But space is a luxury; one which many dwellings, from apartment units to cosy old Victorian townhouses, sadly lack. Don’t despair - there are a few tricks up the sleeve when it comes to visually enhancing the look of your bathroom. Here are 5 key ways to create space where there is none.

1. Opt for wall storage
2. Stick to light, plain hues
Sad, but true; neutrality is key when making rooms appear more spacious. This means ensuring colour continuity across walls, ceiling, furniture, tiles and splashbacks - and usually selecting bland, light shades. Matching or complementary fittings and decor is essential. Flooring is also worth some thought; you want to avoid anything that compartmentalises the space, such a different set of tiles for the shower floor.
3. Max out on the mirrors
When used strategically, mirrors can reflect natural and artificial light to encompass the space more evenly and therefore create an illusion of size. Best hung on walls rather than propped up precariously on surfaces, facing mirrors against each other will also heighten this feeling of space.
4. Avoid the shower curtain
Colourful shower curtains are certainly a good way to add colour and personality to an otherwise generic bathroom, but when you’re really stuck for space, emphasising the generic is your best bet. Opting for a glass-paned shower or a very light curtain will ensure consistency with the other decor and keep the bathroom feeling airy and clean.
5. Make use of corners
You want to be using every available inch of space, regardless of how traditionally undervalued it is. Placing the sink in a corner is a great example of this; otherwise, think about how your storage may be readjusted to cover this wasted space.
