How to make small bathrooms look larger by updating the shower enclosure

Consider installing a clear frameless glass shower enclosure. The most likely part of your bathroom that takes up the most space, is the tub/shower combination. Because of their size, and the connections required to make them work together, there are only so many things you can do without having to remodel your entire bathroom.

How to Make a Small Bathroom Look Larger with Shelving & Storage

Small bathroom remodeling ideas can be a great option if you have a larger renovation project in the future.

How to make a small bath look larger by painting it.

Bathroom renovations can be done with new paint. Selecting bathroom colors is a difficult task. Keep your overall aesthetic vision in view.

Paint can help open up small bathrooms by allowing for more light to enter. What colors can make small bathrooms look larger? You will see a bigger bathroom if you choose lighter colors. Be aware of the amount of natural light that is available to your small bathroom. Also, consider your fixtures and accents. You can make your wall a little darker by using bright, lighter accents.

How to make a small bathroom look larger by using decor ideas

You don't need to paint or tile your bathroom, but you can add decor to make it look bigger. It is important to remember that less is better. You can't have too many decorative accessories or clutter in a small bathroom. Take note of what trinkets and artwork are in your sink. If you have a lot of them, consider putting rugs on each side.

A mirror is another decoration that will increase the size of your room. Mirrors larger in size give the illusion that there is more space. Additionally, they reflect more light back into the room. Frameless mirrors are similar to shower doors.
