make your small bathroom seem larger

If you have a small bathroom, you might feel like you’re stuck with a cramped and claustrophobic space.

But don’t worry! With the right color ideas and painting tips, you can make your small bathroom seem larger and more inviting. Here are some tips to get you started:

1. Choose light and bright colors

One of the easiest ways to make your small bathroom seem larger is to use light and bright colors.
 
White, cream, and pastel shades are all great options, as they reflect light and create a sense of openness.
 
If you want to add a pop of color, consider using a light and muted shade of blue, green, or yellow.

2. Use a monochromatic color scheme

Another way to create a sense of space in a small bathroom is to use a monochromatic color scheme.

This means using different shades of the same color throughout the room.

For example, you might choose a light blue for the walls, a slightly darker blue for the tiles, and a navy blue for the accessories.

3. Paint the ceiling the same color as the walls

When you paint a small bathroom, it’s important to make the most of every inch of space.

Painting the ceiling the same color as the walls can help to create a seamless and uninterrupted look, which can make the room feel larger.

This technique also helps to draw the eye upward, creating the illusion of height.

4. Use vertical stripes

If you want to add some visual interest to your small bathroom, consider using vertical stripes.

These can be painted on the walls or added with wallpaper.

Vertical stripes draw the eye upward, creating the illusion of height and making the room feel more spacious.

5. Consider a feature wall

If you’re feeling bold, consider adding a feature wall to your small bathroom.

This could be a wall painted in a bright or bold color, or a wall with a patterned wallpaper.

A feature wall can add some personality to the room and draw attention away from its small size.

6. Use glossy paint

Finally, consider using glossy paint to make your small bathroom seem larger.

Glossy paint reflects light and creates a sense of depth, making the room feel larger.

It’s also easy to clean, which is important in a room that’s often damp and humid.
