Do you have a bathroom that feels small and cramped? There are many possible ways to make your bathroom feel more spacious and less cramped. This article will give you tips and ideas that will help you go from a small cramped room to a room that you can appreciate.

By changing the color, lighting and a few other things, your bathroom can be transformed without adding to the square footage. With only a few changes you can make your bathroom look as cozy or as elegant as you want.

Pale Colors Open Up a Room
This does not mean that you need to paint your bathroom white, but instead that light, pastel colors make space appear larger visually. If you have a dark colored floor you may have to consider making it lighter. Walls should be painted soft shades of peach, cream or any other light color. Bold colors should be saved for artwork on the walls and smaller accents such as towel holders. A vanity’s doors, as well as the top of the vanity, should be light colored. Wooden cabinet doors can easily be changed with very little paint. Towels used as décor should be chosen based on light shades that compliment the rest of the room.

Bring More Light In
You can visually open up, and brighten, any room by adding light to the area. Alternate sources of lighting, like wall sconces, recessed lighting in the ceiling, and even a small lamp for the vanity can all be added to the bath. A skylight with help brighten up the room with natural light if it is within your budget.

If It Takes Up Space, Take It Out!
It is common for people to have extra shelves in their bathrooms for holding towels, cotton balls and other vanity items. It is easy to detract from a spacious and open look with object that protrude into the room. Removing shelving and other units of storage should be considered; items stored in them can easily be moved into a linen closet or be put under your vanity. It is amazing how spacious a room looks when you remove clutter.

Expand With Mirrors
Mirrors reflect light, this has been long known. They make any room appear much larger. The color and design of the bath can easily be reflected by simply replacing the mirror over the vanity with a larger one. Using an over-sized mirror works perfectly, but if you prefer to use several mirrors arranged artistically to add interest and reflect light you may. And, if space allows you may use another mirror on a separate to expand the boundaries of the room.

No matter the room, clutter will always look messy and visually diminish the size of it. This will always hold true, even in the bathroom. Less clutter means that the room will look cleaner and more streamlined. Small items such as toothpaste, deodorant, floss and other items should be stored away so that they don’t take up room on the vanity. If you use these tips your bathroom will look as if it has doubled in size!
