Single Coating
One way to keep a small bathroom from feeling smaller is to use the same siding on all the walls. You can see it well in this bathroom in which the microcement that covers walls, floors and even the built-in furniture provides a feeling of continuity and a soft texture. This resistant material has become one of the most popular trends in bathrooms in connection with nature. In addition, you can see it with different pigments. This one in sand color is very warm.
Go for a wall-hung cabinet
One way to give spaciousness to a small bathroom is with a wall-hung cabinet with drawers. This will free the floor, reducing visual noise and facilitating cleaning. By giving the sensation that the furniture floats, the space is lightened, it makes the bathroom seem larger and less overloaded. In addition, they offer a very modern and light image that fits great with modern bathrooms. You can even take advantage of the lower hole with baskets or auxiliary pieces without saturating the decoration.
A custom-made shower
When meters are scarce, it is important to do without those elements that generate visual noise. Believe it or not, the screen is one of them. To avoid this, forget about installing it. Instead, plan a wall at mid-height and a fixed glass panel that allows light to pass inside, but does not have hardware or elements that hinder the passage of light.
Well-planned storage
In a small bathroom, storage is everything. Therefore, having the right solutions is key so that they do not steal extra meters, but offer that precious storage space. Thus, if you have a toilet with a built-in cistern, you can use the upper area to make a built-in wardrobe in which to store the personal hygiene products you use the most, as well as toilet paper, towels… It will be very comfortable!
