Bathrooms can sometimes feel a little cramped. In many older homes, bathrooms were designed tiny so that the other rooms could be bigger. After all, who wanted to spend a lot of time in the bathroom?
Well, how times have changed! Fortunately, you don’t have to break out any walls to extend your bathroom to make it look bigger. When you are ready for a new look, clever use of tiles can instantly create a feeling of depth and space in even the tiniest bathrooms!
You want your bathroom space to look airy, spacious, and welcoming, so it must look clean and uncluttered. It may look cozy if you incorporate many different patterns and designs, but it probably won’t make your bathroom look bigger.
That is not to say you need to be boring when you start remodeling your bathroom! It is an exciting project, and you won’t believe how using the right tiles can open up the area and make it appear much more spacious.
A simple way to make a medium-sized bathroom look bigger is to use larger tiles.
If you absolutely fall in love with a highly patterned tile, use it as an accent area. Base the rest of your selection around your gorgeous must-have tiles, but keep them light-colored and plain.
Wearing vertical stripes makes you look taller, and you can use this same principle to good effect when tiling your bathroom. If the ceiling is low, laying wall tiles vertically instead of horizontally will give the impression of added height.
Laying long format tiles, so they flow horizontally on the bathroom walls will extend the appearance of the room’s length.
Using the same, or very similar, toned tile on the floor and walls makes it difficult to see where the floor space ends and the walls begin. This makes a small room seem instantly bigger.
