Creative Ways to Make Your Bathroom Look Bigger

While we all wish we had one, not every home includes a large bathroom. When it comes to renovating a bathroom, size often feels like the ultimate limitation. However, with a little creativity and thoughtful planning, you can make even the smallest bathroom feel more spacious and functional. Sometimes, it’s all about organization, while sometimes it’s more about actually making your bathroom larger! However, if a full renovation is out of the question this new year, here are some creative ways to make your bathroom look bigger without knocking down any major walls.

Wall Cabinets Over Floor Cabinets

Floor cabinets can take up precious square footage and make a small bathroom feel cramped. Opting for wall-mounted cabinets keeps the floor clear, instantly making the space appear larger. These floating cabinets can be installed at eye level or higher to maximize storage while maintaining an open and airy feel. In fact, you can even do this with your vanity, allowing for more storage underneath.

Consider sleek designs with clean lines and neutral colors to blend seamlessly into your bathroom’s walls or other features to create a cohesive space that doesn’t stand out too much. For added functionality, choose cabinets with mirrored fronts—this not only saves wall space but also reflects light, enhancing the sense of openness.

Expand Your Closet for Hidden Storage

If your bathroom has an adjacent closet, consider expanding it to create a larger hidden storage area. By moving less frequently used items into this closet, you can keep countertops and visible storage areas clutter-free. This approach is particularly effective in maintaining a minimalist look, which helps smaller bathrooms feel more spacious. These closets are great to store extra towels, toilet paper, vanity accessories such as mirrors, makeup, and more to clear up counter space.

To make the most of this extra storage, use organizational tools like stackable bins, pull-out drawers, and labeled baskets. A well-organized closet eliminates the need for bulky storage solutions in the bathroom itself, freeing up visual and physical space.

Install a Wide Vanity with a Large Mirror

Instead of opting for two smaller vanities or pedestal sinks, consider installing a single wide vanity. This combination creates the illusion of greater width, amplifying its perceived size. Also, instead of deciding on two separate mirrors, consider opting for one large mirror across the entire vanity. This can also reflect more light throughout the room, and can make your bathroom look bigger. To enhance the effect, consider using frameless mirrors for a sleek, modern look.

A wide vanity also provides additional countertop space, perfect for keeping essentials accessible while avoiding clutter. The large mirror will visually double the space, especially when paired with good lighting.

Hide Your Toilet When Possible

If your bathroom layout allows, consider repositioning or partially enclosing the toilet. Hiding the toilet behind a partition wall, within a separate nook, or hidden behind your vanity can free up visual space for other design elements. This separation also makes the bathroom feel more organized and luxurious.

Another option is to install a wall-mounted toilet. These designs take up less floor space and contribute to a streamlined aesthetic, ideal for small bathrooms such as half baths or guest bathrooms.

Light is Right

Redesigning your bathroom can mean putting your current personality into your work. However, if you’re working with a smaller bathroom, it might be best to leave to dark and moody colors for the bedroom or living room. Something as simple as choosing a lighter color for your walls, flooring, and tile can make a huge difference.

If you were looking into hardwood flooring, consider a light French Oak. If you were planning on wallpaper, consider minimizing the design aspect as to not enclose the space. Light colors, off-whites, and pastels can reflect light better, allowing the space to feel more airy and bright, therefore causing the illusion of a larger space.
