Add a Shower Door

New Small Shower Installed

One of the easiest ways to make a small bathroom feel larger is by adding a glass shower door. This will help show the space in the room, and let the light in the shower be brighter, and much better than a shower curtain making it feel bigger.

  • Install An Under-Sink Faucet.

If you have a small bathroom with an under-sink faucet, you can easily install one yourself. All you need is a drill, a wrench, and a sink adapter. Simply remove the old faucet and replace it with the new one.

  • Replace the Flooring

You can also make a small room feel larger by replacing the flooring with a lighter color. This will give you a bigger and cleaner look to a small room without having to do any major construction. It’s easy to find inexpensive options at home improvement stores.

If wrinkles are a worry then a color closer towards the yellow or sunset colors tend to make wrinkles softer and less noticeable. A good idea would be to install recessed lights above the mirror so that you can still use the mirror while getting light.
