Storage Space above the Door
Very often, people go for typical storage spots and they ignore particular areas. The space above the bathroom door can turn into the perfect storage place, while it will keep the walls and the floor clutter-free. To utilize the space efficiently, you will need to buy a wall cabinet or install several shelves. This storage area can be used for all of your bathroom products and items that would otherwise be scattered throughout the room.
Mirrors
Mirrors create an optical illusion of spaciousness. The correct placement of mirrors will allow for the reflection of space, which instantly makes a small bathroom look noticeably bigger.
Additionally, mirrors can be used as an interior design element, rather than as a practical item that has to appear above the sink. Several large mirrors on the wall will immediately change the bathroom into something more elegant. Nowadays, Mirror with cabinets, which come along with shaver sockets are in trend. One can store soaps, shampoos, shavers and tooth brushes in the cabinet and have a illuminated mirror as well to apply make-up and for shaving.
Glass or Other Transparent Obstructions
Solid shower walls or curtains cut off some of the space. As a result, the shower space is eliminated from the bathroom. To overcome the problem, opt for transparent obstructions. A glass shower wall looks fancy and it adds to the size of the bathroom. The glass enclosure cuts off the area more delicately.
Use Light Cleverly
Just like mirrors, light sources can create the visual illusion of more space. Install lights on the ceiling, each set being directed at a particular part of the bathroom. Use several switches to turn these lights on upon necessity. Having a light system instead of a general source of illumination will brighten up the room.
Wall Cabinets
Wall cabinets are a great alternative to floor cabinets or storage containers. Chests, bathroom tables and other storage spaces on the floor will make your tiny bathroom even smaller. Use the wall spaces like the one above the toilet. The placement of cabinets or shelves there adds structure and visual interest without taking away empty space.
