8 Ways to Make Your Small Bathroom A Little Bigger

Because we're in the Lake Norman Real Estate business, we know first hand that small bathrooms (especially the master) can be extremely inconvenient, but they're not a deal breaker! Today we're bringing you 8 ways to give you a little more room to breathe in your tight bathroom space.

1. Put the towel rack behind the door.

Not only does this save so much space, it is more aesthetically pleasing than seeing towels hung over the shower or on the wall. This frees up much needed wall space.

2. Use shelves to keep the counter tops free from clutter.

Shelves are a necessity in small bathrooms.Organize your personal care items and decorate as if they are on display instead of just taking up space. Use baskets to corral all the items for an even cleaner look.

3. While we're on the subject of shelves, try one above your door for extra storage.

Over door shelves give your bathroom more space and a really stylish, unique look.

4. Embrace natural lighting.

Nothing beats natural lighting when it comes to opening up a small bathroom. Try letting some natural light shine into your small bathroom and look at the difference it makes!

5. Upgrade your old shower curtains to something a little more luxurious.

Floor to ceiling shower curtains (paired just like window curtains!) instantly make your small bathroom look a little larger and a little more lux. It's a win-win!

6. Use mirrors strategically. 

Who says you just need one bathroom mirror? By reflecting light, the addition of more mirrors in the bathroom makes the room seem much larger than it is.

7. Stick to light colors.

The darker your bathroom's color scheme is, the smaller it will feel. Stick to airy, light colors to keep the space from getting stuffy.

8. Stay organized.

Yes, even under the sink! Utilize every free bit of space you find and get the most out of your tiny bathroom!
