1. LET THERE BE LIGHT.
If the room doesn’t have the luxury of an external window, the implementation of a simple skylight can bask the space in natural light, without taking up precious wall space.
-
Clear shower screens (as opposed to opaque ones) give the illusion of extra space and light.
-
A fully frameless shower screen doesn’t create any visual barriers at all and can work brilliantly in a small bathroom.
-
Make use of natural light, and don’t block windows with heavy blinds.
-
Consider a skylight. A skylight will solve problems if the room is oriented away from the sun.
2. KEEP SLIDING
Sliding doors can be a great addition to a small bathroom renovation or small ensuite as they allow for that extra bit of space – every bit helps!
You can get doors that slide into the wall but this can really blow out your costs.
If the bathroom is not already set up for this then a nice barn-style set-up like the below or even a plain sliding door done right can be so effective. We have done many small ensuite renovations in Perth where when you open the door to get into the room you literally open it into the shower door which can make you feel claustrophobic.
As it relates to tips for small bathrooms it’s important to understand less swinging parts make your tiny bathroom better.
The other option is a cavity slider. For more info CLICK the image below.
3. Floating Vanity.
A vanity that connects only to the wall makes a bathroom instantly appear larger and creates the option for storage underneath.
The reason the wall-hung vanity makes the small bathroom feel bigger is it creates a flow to the bathroom not broken up by harsh lines on the floor.
One other benefit of the wall-hung vanity is it allows you to pick a floor tile that won’t clash with your wood grain vanity. CLICK HERE FOR PROS AND CONS OF WALL HUNG VANITIES
4. Get As Wet As You Can
Wet rooms with no shower screen or an open shower screen are exactly how they sound. Without the use of a door, you can really open up a small bathroom or ensuite.
These wet room setups that have an open shower often allow you to install baths or toilets that would be restricted by space.
By not having a door on your screen you can install items next to them allowing for getting more out of your small bathroom.
5. Not Too Many Small Tiles
Try to keep those lovely subway finishes or vertical stack bonds to one feature wall to really make the room pop and not get overcluttered by too many lines. CLICK HERE FOR A BETTER BREAKDOWN.
You ideally want to restrict overusing tiny tiles or at least matching grout to the tiles to eliminate too many lines.
6. Go Big In Your Home
Tiles in your bathroom create a sense of space, so why not use fewer tiles to cover your space, which means less grouting and lines breaking things up visually?
One way to make that small bathroom renovation feel bigger is to use larger tiles like this 1200mm x 600mm or 600mm x 600mm
7. Does this mirror make me look fat?
Even the smallest bathroom has space for a mirror, mirrors have a magical effect in making the room feel bigger.
Whether you opt for the rounded mirror to show off those big tiles creating all this feeling of size or you opt for the ceiling high mirrors to create height.
Curved shower edges make any tiny bathroom feel way less cramped as it rounds off any sharp edges.
