Tips for decorating a small bathroom

Decorating the bathroom can be quite a challenge, especially when it comes to a small bathroom. And let's face it, most homes have small bathrooms, especially if you live in the city. But don't worry, it is possible to arrange a bathroom with limited space so that it looks just as beautiful as the rest of your house. We give you some tips here.

Use the same color as much as possible
Don't go for dark walls and light tiles (or vice versa), as this visually reduces the space. Using lighter and brighter colors will make the bathroom appear larger. Also use light colors on your door and windows. Do you want some color? Then use a bright color as an accent.

Light, light, light
Natural light in a bathroom is always ideal. Unfortunately, not every bathroom has a window where the sun shines wonderfully in. If you don't have a window or want more light in the room, opt for light that can add atmosphere. Soft white light is ideal for creating an illusion of space. By making sure every corner of the bathroom is well lit, you expand your small space, making the bathroom appear larger than it actually is.

Think vertically
Although there may not be enough space available on the floor, the bathroom does have walls. Add cabinets and open shelves on the walls. Place shelves above the toilet, at the end of a bathtub, or next to the sink. Don't forget the back of the door too, it's a great place to hang a towel rail.

Add a transparent shower enclosure
Let's face it, shower curtains are annoying. They stick to you while you shower and are a pain to clean. They also visually close off an area of ​​the bathroom. A great idea for a bathroom with a shower is to purchase a shower enclosure made of glass or clear material. These are easy to install, maintain and are perfect for small bathrooms. And the bathroom looks more open.

Don't forget mirrors
Nothing makes a bathroom look bigger than a ceiling-high mirror. A large mirror with lighting at the top or in front of it can double the impact of the light and make the room appear larger.

Keep it simple l
Do not use too many different materials in the bathroom. Keep it simple and focus on quality and simplicity, making the space elegant but not too crowded.
