A medium-sized luxury bathroom is usually 10 feet by 15 feet. Currently, the bathroom is the biggest crisis area. There is little space for the bathroom to meet the needs of the bedroom, balcony, drawing room, and dining room. So many people face the challenge of making a small bathroom look bigger.
Let’s look at how to make a small bathroom space look bigger.
1. Choose light-colored tiles. If two different colored objects of the same size are placed next to each other, the lighter color will appear larger. So choose white, a shade of white, or a light shade of any color.
2. Keep the size of the tiles large. The bigger the size of the tiles, the look bigger the bathroom will look. You can use unpaired tiles. There is continuity in the design of these tiles; the whole bathroom seems to be covered with one tile. As a result, the place looks bigger.
3. The idea of filling an entire bathroom with the same tiles may sound boring to many. But the truth is, because of all the other elements in the bathroom, it doesn’t feel monotonous. If you still want to divide, you can use two types of close-design tiles of the same shade on the ceiling and walls. But remember, the more ‘contrast’ there is, the smaller the space will appear.
4. Bathroom fittings will look good if they are all in one color. If it is in harmony with the color of the tiles, then it is the best. For example, if your entire bathroom is white, you can make the fittings black. If the bathroom is light pink or coral in color, you can add a touch of gold to the fittings or use a light shade of any color in the tiles and a slightly darker shade in the fittings.
5. If you make a cabinet above the entrance door to the bathroom, it will be less noticeable. The fewer things there are in the bathroom, the more cluttered it will look. The place will look bigger.

Time to Build a Bathroom
Things to keep in mind while designing the bathroom:

* You can use marble or granite on the bathroom basin counter top.
Arrange your daily essentials on the basin counter. You can make a cabinet with waterproof material at the bottom of the counter.
* Bathroom tiles should not be slippery. If the bathroom is small, choose light-colored tiles instead of dark-colored tiles.
Black, dark, blue, or maroon-colored tiles should be avoided in the bathroom. Soap stains settle easily on such tiles and are difficult to clean. And the light in look bigger the bathroom also goes down.
* Add a beautiful basin and sparkling mirror to the bathroom entrance.
There are many decorative mirrors available on the market. If the bathroom is small, it will look bigger if you put a big mirror on the basin.

* You can install a glass shelf or corner cabinet on the bare wall of the bathroom. You can keep things here that you don’t use all the time but that are necessary. Such as towels, cosmetics, first aid, perfume, hair dryer, air freshener, wax, etc.
