Renovating or making over small bathrooms can be a challenge, mainly because of the limited space available. You need all the basic fixtures and fittings in the bathroom yet want to provide a completely new look to the area. 

 

Here, we discuss how you can change the overall look of small bathrooms and make them look more stylish. 

 

Change the mirror

If you thought that small mirrors would blend in well with the small wall space of the bathroom, then you are wrong. Of course, small mirrors leave a lot of space on the wall. However, there is no reflection of light from the wall, and hence, the bathroom can look cramped up.

 

The best way to make over a small bathroom is to replace small mirrors with large rectangular ones. Since the mirror reflects light, it creates an illusion of space and makes the bathroom look big. 

Backlight the mirror

If you are tight on budget and do not want to change the mirror altogether, it would be a good idea to add lights behind the mirror. This light reflects onto the wall, brightening up the whole space and thus creating a spacious feel. 

Use a glass shower door instead of a curtain.

If you are all for a shower curtain to segregate dry and wet areas, then you are cramping up the space even more. You can revamp the space and use a glass shower door instead to demarcate the space. The glass door opens up the space and provides a more spacious look to the bathroom.  

Paint in pastel shades.

Of course, white is the best color for small bathrooms as it creates an illusion of space. But what if you want to add a dash of color? Pastel shades of pink, yellow or blue make a great option. It provides a touch of color to the bathroom and, at the same time, does not make it look small and cramped up. 

Use a floating vanity.

Keeping the floor clear is a great way to open up space in a small bathroom. Going for a floating vanity is the best way to create more floor space. Since the floating vanity is directly attached to the wall and does not have any legs, it creates a spacious look in the bathroom. 

 

Use high gloss paint

The peculiarity of high-gloss paint is that it can reflect light. When light is reflected, it creates a spacious look in a small bathroom. 

Go for built-in cabinets.

Built-in cabinets remain flush against the wall and do not project out. This can create a seamless finish and a more spacious look in small bathrooms.

 

Similarly, building a shower niche for storing toiletries in the shower area is also a great space saver for small bathrooms. 

Go for the corner sink.

A large sink with a medicine cabinet or vanity can occupy a lot of space and make the bathroom look cramped up. A corner sink serves the basic purpose of a sink and, at the same time, occupies very little space. 

 

Having a small bathroom does not mean that you should cut down on all the luxuries of a large bathroom. By carefully redesigning the bathroom, you can make it look more spacious and glamorous.
