7 Design Tips to Make Your Bathroom Feel Spacious

September 10, 2024

Are you tired of feeling cramped and claustrophobic in your bathroom? Fortunately, there are several interior design tips and tricks that can make even the smallest of bathrooms feel more spacious.

Here are some tips on how to make a bathroom feel bigger:

1. Pick Light Colors:

Light colors like white and pastels can help to create the illusion of space. They reflect light and make the room feel more open and airy.

2. Opt for Large Tiles

Smaller tiles can make the bathroom feel busy and cramped. Instead, use larger tiles to make the room feel more spacious.

3. Install a Large Mirror

Mirrors can make any room feel bigger, and the bathroom is no exception. A large mirror can create the illusion of depth and reflect light to make the space feel brighter and more open.

4. Choose a Glass Shower Door

A glass shower door can create the illusion of space by allowing the eye to travel through the shower and into the rest of the room.

5. Get Creative with Storage

When space is limited, it's important to get creative with storage. Use vertical shelving or install a medicine cabinet to maximize storage space without taking up valuable floor space.

Use Minimalist Decor: A cluttered bathroom can feel cramped and overwhelming. Opt for minimalist decor and keep the space simple and streamlined to create a more spacious feel.

Use Lighting to Your Advantage: Good lighting can make all the difference in a small bathroom. Consider recessed lighting or built-in fixtures to avoid taking up visual space. If possible, add skylights or glass panels. Use natural light when possible and supplement with artificial lighting to create a bright and airy feel.

In conclusion, creating a spacious bathroom is all about maximizing the available space and creating the illusion of depth and openness. By using light colors, large tiles, mirrors, glass shower doors, creative storage, minimalist decor, and good lighting, you can make even the smallest of bathrooms feel bigger and more spacious. With these tips, you can transform your bathroom into a relaxing oasis that feels like a luxurious spa.

Ria did a wonderful job on designing my space. She really took the time to discuss with me my ideas to get a sense of my needs and style. Her communication throughout the process has been phenomenal so I’ve always known when to expect things from her. She’s been responsive to my feedback and to exploring options that fit my design preference. I look forward to working with Ria on more design projects!

I really enjoyed working with Ria, she was great at taking direction and finding the look you had in mind, but any time you weren't quite sure what to do with a space she was quick to offer guidance.  I think she went above and beyond to make the whole process enjoyable and as easy as possible.

I was looking for something more polished for my main bedroom. Ria created a beautiful, custom design plan for me based on my preferences and how we use the room. Would highly recommend.

I needed a rental space decorated after my divorce and I was on a budget. Ria came in and understood what I wanted to accomplish and listened to my feedback throughout the process. Although we went slightly over budget, in the end my home now feels like "me" and is soooooo comfortable and cozy when I need to relax and decompress in the evenings after work.

I debated only giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to being slightly over budget (I wish there was a 4.99 rating), but this was a near-ideal outcome in terms of how much I enjoy the spaces she decorated - so 5 stars it is!!!

Thanks Ria for an incredible job!

Ria did a great job with my project. She was patient and took the time to get to know everything I was looking for. Throughout the whole process she was in constant communication with me about how work was going, what issues came up, and how she was helping to take care of them. She was very frank about prices and timelines, but also worked really hard to help me find the right style and stay within budget.  At first I wasn't sure I wanted to spend money on a designer, but I'll definitely be reaching out to her for future projects.
