Elevate Your Bathroom Design: Simple Strategies for Maximizing Space



If you happen to have a bathroom with limited space, fret not! Here are some helpful tips you can apply during your remodeling project to create the illusion of a big bathroom.


  • Colors And Themes

One of the most efficient ways to make your bathroom look spacious is by using the right color or adding the right textures. Even the Fittings used in the bathroom can make or break the room setting. Here are a few things to consider while getting the bathroom redone.


1. Keep colors light and cheerful.

By using light and bright colors, you can create a clean-looking bathroom.

If you think using white will make it look untidy as time goes on, then you can use lighter shades of blue, pink, yellow, or even green.

2. Monochromatic Bathroom Design.

Mix-matching different colors or even textures can give the illusion of a clustered bathroom. The smart choice in this scenario is to go monochromatic. Having the same color through and through gives a lavish touch.


3. Fittings.

Proper fittings enhance the bathroom's style and overall appearance. If you want to enhance the look of your bathroom, adding gold accents or brass fittings can do wonders. Not only do they make the room look spacious, but they also add a touch of elegance.


4. Shower Enclosure.

The choice of shower enclosure is crucial to make the room look ample. Using a glass enclosure gives the appearance of a spacious room. You can even choose an open concept, which delivers the bathroom a minimalistic look.


5. Light Setting.

Having ample natural light in the bathroom is optimal. However, if your bathroom design doesn't allow for natural light, a skylight or flush-mount ceiling light could be an excellent solution. A well-lit bathroom creates an illusion of more space. You can also add lights to the back of the mirror, which amplifies your room.


  • Utilize Space That Goes Overlooked.

There are a lot of places in your bathroom that are either hidden or you overlook. You can use these places for storage.


1. Shower Ledge.

The ledge in the shower space is a great place to store your necessary toiletries. This way, they are easy to access, and no additional storage space is required, which becomes ideal for tight bathrooms.


2. Shower Niche.

3. Corner Tension Shower Cladding.

4. Over The Sink.

Over-the-sink shelves are an excellent way to utilize the space above the sink. You can add shallow shelves to the side of the sink to store your cosmetics. Also, add multiple racks to use the free space beneath. Keeping the sink surface makes it look more clean.


5. Above The Toilet.

  • Use Alternatives Instead.

Instead of solely depending on conventional methods, one can explore alternative solutions that better suit their needs.


1. Floating Sink.

Floating sinks are a great choice to make the space below for storage. By adding shelves below the floating shelves, one can make storage which is accessible and functional.


2. Mirror With Built-in Storage.

A large mirror for the bathroom can make the room look bigger. But you can add practicality by using built-in storage mirrors. You can use the mirrors to hide items that clutter your sink area. A tidy sink area creates an illusion of an organized and spacious bathroom.


3. Adjustable Organizer Bins.

4. Towel Baskets.

Using baskets to keep your towels is a great way to store them. You can place these baskets underneath your floating sinks. Using two baskets helps to store used and unused towels separately. Also, they can make laundry baskets.


5. Storage Ladder.

Cabinets with wheels are the best choice for movable yet compact storage space. You can place them beside the toilet or sink. The flat top gives extra space for storage for items or decors.



There are a variety of strategies you can employ to increase the bathroom space. Consider installing above-the-door racks, which provide additional storage without taking up valuable floor space. Another option is to invest in beside-the-toilet storage, which can maximize the usefulness of an overlooked area.

Sliding doors are another great way to save space, as they eliminate the need for a door swing and can make the bathroom feel less cramped. Built-in cabinets can also help to streamline the room and keep clutter at bay. Finally, consider a corner sink, which frees up floor space and provides a sleek, modern look. With creativity, you can make your small bathroom feel much more spacious and inviting.
