Make the most of your space : 5 ways to maximize your small bathroom!

Most people dream of having a large, spacious bathroom with all the space possible, however that may not always be realistic. A small bathroom may get cluttered very easily and but you can make your bathroom live up to its full potential, in the following simple ways.

• Colour it beautiful

Opting for cool and neutral colour schemes can lend the illusion of space to your bathroom, especially if a single main colour is used throughout. If you like that pop of colour in your space, one can always use accessories in lively colours. Tiling the side of your bath and walls in the same design will also blur out boundaries and make the space appear larger.

• Mirror Mirror, on the wall:

By reflecting the light in the room and picking up surrounding patterns, a mirror can effectively double a small space. Installing a mirror also helps in maximizing natural light in the room especially if the smaller space is getting dark. One may also might consider installing an artistic arrangement of mirrors to lend a personal touch to the space.

• Light it up:

Adding some extra lighting can instantly "open up" the look of your bathroom. Use of recessed lighting and wall lights in sleek and slim designs is a great option in this direction.

• Go minimalist:

When trying to optimise space in the bathroom, less is more. Consider using vertical storage options or opting for minimalistic fittings, so that the area feels less stuffed.

• Glass enclosures:

Replacing the comparatively bulky shower curtain with a glass panel/shower enclosure instead will lead to an expanded look of your bath space, making it appear roomier. Separating the wet and dry areas also helps you get the most out of the limited dry space in your bathroom.
