Top 5 Design Tricks That Make Small Bathrooms Feel Much Bigger

You may have noticed that some apartments in Colombo Sri Lanka manage to look elegant and spacious within a small footprint. The secret is that designers of these living spaces get creative and have fun with placing essentials. An ingenious layout can help you with this. Add spacious drawers below the vanity sink to save space and avoid clutter. You could also go for wall to wall vanity counters. Alternatively, a mirrored cabinet could fulfil the same purpose. Bathroom designs on apartment complexes such as Cinnamon Life are quite inspirational.

The secret to a spacious looking, elegant bathroom is the way in which it flows visually. This visual smoothness comes from how you combine fixtures, fittings, flooring and tiles in a cohesive manner. And, how do you achieve this? Borrow space by cutting corners and angles. Go forth and embrace curves. You could use rounded edges on baths and shower units. Even the furniture could be curvy to match the design. Use this trick cleverly to add that illusion of space and flawless visual flow in your bathroom.

The bathroom material you choose can define how dark or light it would feel. If it is possible, think about adding a skylight. You can go for a lighter shade of tiles. And, designers also opt for reflective and refined materials such as marble, metallic or glass. These will not only bounce rays of light about adding space but also add that touch of glamour to your bathroom.

Decorating with mirrors is one of the top secrets of making a small bathroom look bigger. You could use full-sized mirrors from wall to wall. Alternatively, the mirrors could go from floor to ceiling. If you use a large mirror above the vanity sink, you can achieve a ritzy effect along with a useful optical illusion that makes the space look much larger. Clever placement of lights closer to the mirror will help with reflecting the light back into the room.

You can fake a bit of square footage with wall-hung units as hanging space. If wall-hung is not a practical option, you could go for units with slim legs. And, your bathroom will look more spacious and efficient. You could also try wall-mounted taps along with slimline basins. And, add more space on top of the basins to keep your bathroom essentials. Moreover, choose a design in the same colour as your bathroom walls for a cohesive appearance. And don't forget to match the wall and flooring colours too.
