A small bathroom doesn’t have to feel cramped! With a few clever design tricks and practical updates, you can create the illusion of more space and make it a more enjoyable part of your home. Start by focusing on light colors for walls and tiles, as they reflect light and make the room feel open and airy. Mirrors are another powerful tool—consider adding a large mirror above the vanity or a mirrored cabinet to visually double the space. Decluttering is just as important; keep surfaces clear by using smart storage solutions like floating shelves or recessed niches. Opt for compact or wall-mounted fixtures, such as a pedestal sink or a wall-hung toilet, to free up floor space. Finally, ensure the bathroom is well-lit with a combination of natural light, if possible, and layered artificial lighting. With these simple updates, even the coziest bathroom can feel more spacious and inviting.
