You can use these tips to make your small bathroom seem like a large, luxury room .  Plan an effective renovation by using concepts like those below to provide an illusion of height and space.

You can also see images from my award winning bathroom from HGTV Designer’s Challenge as examples.

• An illusion of height comes with moving the eye vertically so consider a tile installation from floor to ceiling. Think vertical with mirrors, sconces, accents, shelves to emphasize vertical.
• A crown moulding will also create height.
• Wallpaper with a vertical pattern or a painted vertical stripe  is another option.
• Mirrors  add depth, width and length to a small room.  The mirror reflects and distributes light throughout the room.
• Clear shower doors increase  space and light. A fully frameless shower removes barriers.
• Consider a skylight or Solatube to add light to the bath.
• Large tiles increase a sense of space. Rectified porcelain tiles allow narrow, nearly invisible grout lines.
• Floating cabinets, a pedestal or wall mounted sink  also make the floor space seem larger. A vanity cabinet unit takes up a lot of floor space, so avoid if possible.
• Light coloured walls, floors and simple décor makes a room seem larger. 
• Clutter  exacerbates the problems of a small bathroom so select storage solutions to minimize it.
