1. Colour

Many have already heard that a dark color makes a small room even smaller. In addition, it is psychologically difficult to be in a room of this shade. Therefore, to visually expand the space, it is recommended to use only light colors in the decoration. It can be as a variety of shades of white (milky, cream, pearl), and other colors (pale blue, pale pink, light green, etc.).

The uniformity of interior colors can be boring. In this case, it should be diluted with color accents - bright bath accessories, towels, a rug, etc.

On a note! Oddly enough, but on light surfaces, dirt is less visible than on dark ones.

2. Mirrors

Add a mirror to a small room - and it will immediately increase several times. In addition to the mirror above the washbasin, you should also hang a full-length mirror (preferably on the opposite wall) or purchase bathroom furniture with mirrored doors. Above the washbasin, instead of a small mirror, you can use a mirror the size of the entire free wall.

On a note! The presence of mirrors will increase the number of worries associated with cleaning them.

3. Shine

Lighting plays an important role in enlarging the room. Bathroom windows are rare. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly place artificial light sources along it. Be sure to highlight the mirror near the washbasin and mount several spotlights in the ceiling. But that may not be enough. In order to make the bathroom appear larger, we advise you to illuminate all its dark corners and niches, if any.

4. Tile

In a small room, the size of everything matters. And even more so the size of the tiles. Choose a small one for wall cladding. PVC panels will also visually create a large space, since when they are laid, no joints are formed, and the wall looks solid.

5. Plumbing

Plumbing equipment has long been manufactured in different sizes. You can easily find a washbasin or bathtub with small parameters. Their compactness really increases the used area of ​​the room.

You also need to decide what suits you better - a shower or a bath. If you are the owner of a narrow and long room, then you should buy a bath. And it should be of a simple form, no frills. A good option for small bathrooms is a sit-down corner bath.

But if you do not particularly like to bask in the water, then you better choose a shower stall. It takes up less space.

6. Storage systems

If all the items are removed, then the space will look not only neater, but also larger. The cabinets should not be large, it is better that they are shallow, but with mirrors on the doors.

Also, be sure to use the space under the bathroom, if you have one. There is a lot of space, and you can close it with a special screen.

If there are niches, they can be used too. But it is desirable that all the items that will be in them be included or at least combined in color.

7. Transparent partitions

The whole room looks more spacious. Don't smash your bathroom with colored curtains or dark shower doors. It is better to use translucent light materials. The shelves should be made of glass.

8. Placing items

It is important to place everything correctly in a small bathroom. Instead of a base cabinet, choose a wall cabinet. A laundry basket will fit under it. It is better to take a washbasin without a pedestal, then it will be possible to install a small washing machine under it.

You can hang the washbasin directly above the bathroom. Or you can use a kombinitase - a toilet combined with a washbasin.

9. Ceiling

The ceiling in a small room should not be hinged and light.

10. Order

Bathroom clutter will undermine your efforts to expand your space.
