3 Ways Paint Will Make Your Bathroom Look Larger

Almost everyone wishes they had a bigger bathroom. Fortunately, strategies exist to maximize space as well as make small bathrooms appear larger. For instance, you’d be surprised at the difference the right paint job can make. Following are several tips designed to help make small bathrooms appear more spacious.

Light colors are the key to making any small space look larger, but keep in mind that this doesn’t mean that you should stick with stark white walls. Layering various hues of white provides contrast and texture without making the space look smaller. For instance, vertical white-on-white pinstriping or alternating walls with eggshell and cream paint are better choices than plain white walls all around. If t white isn’t appealing to you, consider something like lemon yellow, pearl gray, a misty shade of green, or a very light shade of sky blue.

Colors and patterns that don’t blend well create a choppy look that typically results in the room looking smaller. If your bathroom tiles are dark, they will break up the visual continuity necessary to achieve the seamless effect that makes a space seem larger . People in the know also recommend that you paint the ceiling the same color as the walls. If your ceiling is very low and you want to make it appear taller, paint the ceiling a shade lighter than the walls and extend the color down the sides of the walls for about 12 inches.

Don’t be afraid to use bright colors sparingly in your small bathroom. If your room has a radiator, for instance, consider painting it a vibrant shade that complements your overall color scheme. Accent walls can also work in small bathrooms, especially if you choose the wall that holds the mirror, sink, and wall-mounted light fixtures.
