Still, many of us live in older homes with considerably smaller bathrooms&#8211;those that are 75 square feet or less. While they might be short on space, these small bathrooms need not lack style, character or most importantly, the feel of a more spacious spa-like bath. You don&#8217;t have to spend thousands of dollars to pump up a pint-size bathroom. Use these tips from <a href=\"\/brands\/moen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moen<\/a> and Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet to add the illusion of space to your small bathroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Expand the Ceiling:<\/strong><\/span> You don&#8217;t need to raise your bathroom ceiling to create a roomier feel. Create the illusion of a taller bathroom by painting a lattice or molding design around the edge of the ceiling. Or, install crown molding &#8211; just remember to make sure to paint the crown molding the same color as the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Add Depth:<\/strong><\/span> One of the most cost-effective and easiest ways to make a small bathroom seem bigger is through the use of <a href=\"\/paints\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">paint<\/a>. Pick soft creams, light neutrals, and pastels to open up this small space. \u00a0Consider adding bright towels or accessories for contrast and a pop of color.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Let There Be Light:<\/span><\/strong> Light can make a huge difference in the feel of the size of the room. If you don&#8217;t have a bathroom window, halogen lighting is a good solution because it offers precise light rather than the scattered light provided by fluorescent bulbs. If you have enough height in the room, consider installing soft-diffused lighting or use several recessed lights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Reflect on the Space:<\/span><\/strong> Mirrors are great for any small bathroom because of the light-enhancing and reflective qualities they provide by visually opening up a space. Mirrors pick up patterns and colors on the wall, creating the illusion that the space is bigger than it actually is. Start by hanging a larger mirror above the sink.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, just because your bathroom may be small, doesn&#8217;t mean that it has to be dull. Visually opening up a bathroom can turn it into a warm and inviting retreat that would rival any larger bathroom!
