Bathroom Too Cramped? Here Are 4 Ways You Can Make It Bigger
May 12, 2017A small bathroom is quaint, but eventually that charm’s going to wear out. For many homeowners, the bathroom is the most restrictive place to work with, especially if your home isn’t custom-built. Luckily, there are ways to make your bath space look bigger without spending too much on remodeling.
Legacy Design Build Remodeling lists four ways.
1. Sliding Instead of Swing Doors
Our home remodeling contractor recommends changing your standard door with a sliding one. When your door swing opens, the actual door occupies a large chunk of your already limited floor area. Switching to a sliding door makes transitioning seamless, and helps save valuable floor space.
2. Ensure Seamless Wall and Ceiling Colors
A simple way to trick your eyes is to make sure the walls and ceiling have the same paint color. The same color in walls and ceiling makes your space look more expansive. Additionally, we recommend you generally go with lighter colors over dark. Lighter paint tones reflect light, which bolsters the illusion of space.
3. Maximize Floor Space
Do you really need that extra cabinet in your bathroom? When it comes to your bath space, less is more. Install only what’s essential to the actual room. When you work with our home remodeling company, we’ll maximize your bath’s floor space and emphasize the room’s essentials.
4. Set a Mirror Across The Window
Another simple way to make your bathroom look bigger is by installing a mirror across or near the window area. The sunlight bounces off the pane and travels around the room. This increases the illusion of space, especially if the walls are painted in lighter tones, too. Additionally, we recommend you eschew textured glass and use a plain one since the texture can make your mirror or your glass borders look like an extra wall.
