How to Make a Small Bathroom Feel Larger

For a lot of homeowners, the best bathroom is a large bathroom. But while having a lot of space is usually a good thing, it isn’t a prerequisite for enjoying your bathroom. Even small bathrooms have a lot to offer, after all — you just have to know how to make the most of them. Here are a few ways to do that.

Use tile properly. For starters, ask your bathroom remodeler to utilize bigger tile. This can make a small bathroom feel more spacious by making the space appear more expansive visually. You can also place tiles diagonally to give the illusion of height and width, as well as extend wall tiles all the way to the ceiling to make your bathroom look taller. Use decorative or colored tile near the ceiling to draw attention upward.

Think simple, not small. It might seem natural to opt for small components when you have a small bathroom, but this will only make the space feel smaller. Instead, choose larger elements to impart a sense of prominence, but keep things simple. For example, you can use a tile wall as a focal point, but stick to one pattern. Combining numerous patterns in one place can make your bathroom feel cluttered, taking away from what you want to achieve.

Color is key. If you want your bathroom to feel brighter and bigger, you can’t go wrong with neutrals and white. If you want a more dramatic color, get one with a glossy sheen so it will reflect light, giving the illusion of space.
