KNOW-HOW

Many modern city apartments feature small bathrooms due to limited and expensive space. Despite this, designers have employed various techniques to create the illusion of larger, more luxurious bathrooms. To make a small bathroom seem more spacious, one can utilize tactics such as strategic lighting with recessed lights, as well as the use of mirrors and reflective surfaces.

Interior designers leverage these methods to expand the perceived size of a space, with mirrors and reflective surfaces being particularly effective in creating the appearance of a larger area without physically altering its dimensions. Mirrors also play a crucial role in reflecting light, making them essential for brightening up small, dark spaces. Professional designers specializing in small spaces offer the following tips:

Tip 1: Place a mirror or reflective material on the shorter side of the room for visual balance.

Tip 2: Consider using two mirrors placed opposite each other to enhance light and create an infinite effect, giving the impression of a boundless space.

Tip 3: Covering an entire wall with mirrors from floor to ceiling is one of the most effective ways to make a small bathroom appear more spacious.

The absence of a mirror frame adds to the illusion of limitless space. When there is a vanity, the mirror should start from the top of it and extend to the ceiling. Alternatively, use reflective materials like polished ceramic tiles and polished granite to achieve a similar effect.
