Bathroom Design Plan - How To Make a Small Bath Look Bigger

What will you do if your perfect bathroom plan is bigger than the space you actually have? Instead of tearing down the wall to make up for that much needed space, why not use these simple yet effective ideas to make your design look bigger...

1. Multi-purpose cabinet and display shelf

One cabinet with display shelf that is both functional and decorative is enough for your plan. Use thin and long cabinet to create an illusion of open space. Maximize the wall by going long instead of going wide.

2. Better floor management

Open up your space even more by showing as much floor as your can. A floating vanity creates an illusion of additional floor space. Also, use lighter color flooring materials to make the room appear larger.

3. Use proper materials

One of the better ways to create a spacious bathroom is to install simple yet elegant wall tiles. It could be made of glass, marble, limestone, or ceramic. Use a minimalist wall treatment approach so that it can achieve a clear and spacious look. Another tip is to make your bathroom cohesive to the entire house. Install in your bathroom the same wall material you use on the room next to it. But do not limit yourself to these options alone. Be creative. Employ some elements such as window, glass wall, or mirrors to generate a more open feel.

4. Work on the ceiling.

If you are stuck with a limited floor area, think above your head. Let the natural light to come in by constructing clear glass ceiling on one area of the bathroom, for example the bathtub. If the budget permits, set the ceiling higher than your original plan. A 10ft. by 10ft. bathroom constructed with an additional foot of ceiling is equivalent to 100cu.ft. of free space. A high ceiling will definitely give you the feel of open space.

5. Use appropriate equipment, fittings, and fixtures.

Sink, bathtub, toilet, basin, vanities, shower, faucets, knots, and bots should not overwhelm one another. The perfect plan is the one that give attention to both big and small details. If you can't find commercially available equipment, fittings, and fixtures that will fit to your plan, hiring a contractor or customizing them yourself is a viable option.
