28 May How to Make Your Bathroom Look and Feel Bigger – Bathrooms Newcastle

When remodelling a bathroom in the Newcastle, homeowners quickly discover that either their budget or the
constraints of their property do not allow them to create their ideal bath space.
However, considering a few clever design tips and tricks approved by a bathroom company in Newcastle might
help you reach your design goals.
Let’s discuss how you can make a small bathroom feel bigger:

Layout

With space at a premium in a small bathroom, you must use every inch of it wisely.
A well-planned layout is the answer.
The optimal bathroom layout will have the sink next to the door, then the toilet, and the bath and/or shower at the
farthest point from the entry.

Fittings and Fixtures

There is a myriad of space-saving fittings and fixtures on the North East market nowadays.
Wall-mounted faucets, for example, can free up even more room in the bathroom. Sleek, rectangular sink bowls are
a good choice over round vanity bowls, which take up a lot of space. A compact, wall-mounted toilet cistern can give
more room than a standard toilet.

Doors and Windows

Use a cavity slider instead of a regular door. Windows will let in natural light, which will help to “open up” the space.
Consider a skylight if you are unable to install/include windows.
The more light you can bring into your small bathroom in the Newcastle the more spacious and open it will appear.

Clever Tiling

The type of tiling you use will affect how big or tiny your bathroom looks.
If you want to make the space feel bigger and more open, you should consider investing in floor-to-ceiling tiles or
large tiles.
If new tiles are not an option, match the wall paint colour to your current floor tiles to keep the effect tonal.

Colour

Lighter colours make small spaces look bigger, so use a softer colour palette over a darker one.
Also, utilise a single colour across the area to reduce visual distractions that may visually divide the small space.

Get a Mirror

A few essential stylistic tips might help to elevate your space-saving renovation techniques. A mirror, for example, is
an excellent way to brighten up a tiny space because it reflects natural light and opens up the space.
Place it opposite your bathroom window for double the amount of light!

Do not be afraid to play with scale and go big with the size of your mirror, just like you did with the tiling.

Rearrange

Relocating plumbing in a bathroom is often avoided since it comes with a hefty price tag. However, freeing up space
in a tight bathroom is usually worth the premium.
Your options to add valuable square footage to your bathroom include: relocating the toilet to a separate room
elsewhere in the house or, if the washing machine and/or dryer are in the bathroom, potentially moving them to a
nearby cupboard.
Another smart alternative is a combined shower/tub arrangement, which can provide you with both a bath and a
shower while maximising the usable space.
