A feeling of space in a small bathroom

Follow these six commandments for that extra feeling of space.

• THOU SHALT CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLOURS

  Use light colours for the walls, floor, ceiling and furniture as they will better reflect light. For example, opt for light green or blue - trendy, fresh and calming colours

• THOU SHALT RESPECT MINIMALISM

  Don't crowd the room: use as little decoration as possible to make your bathroom look bigger. The same goes for the furniture: better one tall column cabinet than several small ones. A towel dryer also takes up very little space.

• THOU SHALT PREFER TRANSPARENCY

  The less the view is obstructed, the better: Choose clear material for additional elements and accessories. A glass bath screen, for example, or even better: a walk-in shower.

• THOU SHALT KEEP THE SPACE CLEAR

  Clutter does not go well with a great sense of space. Make the room look tidy and store items in furniture and drawers. Hang everything that can be hung: choose a floating toilet, cupboards and radiator to keep the floor clear.

• THOU SHALT CREATE AN ILLUSION

  Use mirrors and large tiles to create the optical illusion of a spacious bathroom.

• THOU SHALT CHOOSE THE RIGHT LIGHTING

  Light creates space. Make sure you have several light sources, especially if your bathroom does not have a window: general lighting, mood lighting, mirror lighting, etc.
