Design Magic To Make A Small Bathroom Big

Size isn't just about square-footage

Size isn't just about square-footage. Design plays an important role in how big a space feels. Here are some optical illusions that can transform your small bathroom into a spacious oasis, without knocking down the walls. What's more, these simple renovation designs are within reach for most do-it-yourselfers.

Some key home renovation designs can add an illusion of height or depth in a small bathroom.

Make Your Small Bathroom Taller...

* Vertical lines draw the eye upward, making the walls seem taller. You can paint a vertical stripe or choose a vertical wallpaper pattern. If you're tiling, consider extending the tiles to the ceiling.

* Ceiling edging design can have the same effect. You can add interest to the upper reaches of your small bathroom by lining the 'crown' of the ceiling with a painted border, crown molding, or patterned tile.

Make Your Small Bathroom Deeper...

* Mirrors, the magician's secret, can also lend an illusion of depth to your home renovation design. One large mirror can (appear to) extend the width and length of a small bathroom.

* Clear shower curtains or a glass door bring the shower space back into the room. To remove all visual barriers, try a fully frameless shower door.

Make Your Small Bathroom Brighter...

* A light color scheme throughout the bathroom renovation design, from floor to dcor, can bring a bathroom out of the shadows. Pastels, neutrals, or whites work well.

* Lights installed around the perimeter of the room expand the space. One home renovation designer achieves a spacious look by placing shelves near the ceiling and fitting lights underneath them.

* A skylight or window can bring in the sunlight and open up the room.

Make Your Small Bathroom More Spacious...

* Storage can clear up space-stealing clutter. The most space-savvy solutions are recessed cabinets; floating cabinets that leave floor space exposed are an acceptable second.

* Pedestal or wall-mounted sinks also increase visible floor space and eliminate the bulky vanity.

* Toilets can be relegated to an alcove to open up more space.

* Bathtubs are space stealers, but may be too luxurious to omit. Choose a deep yet small model.

Most small bathrooms are not as small as they seem. These smart home renovation designs can bring out your small bathroom's inner 'master bath.'
