We love natural light and all of the benefits it has not only for the soul, but for the illusion of more space in your small bathroom. If you have light shiny wall tiles and a mirror in your space, the natural light will bounce around the room and give the illusion of more space. Light layering is also an effective tool to brighten a space, thanks to new pendant lights & cabinet lighting.
Wall hung vanities look like they are floating from the wall, the open space beneath the vanity gives the illusion of more space in your bathroom.

There's no bigger mistake than cutting your room in half with a big chunky shower screen. We always suggest a frameless shower screen to ensure the room remains open and bright.
Avoid dark colours in your bathroom to ensure your room feels bright & spacious! Opting for a simple take on a white paint is perfect for your bathroom, as it creates space & depth when paired back with a feature tile. If you do want some colour, look towards more neutral colours to ensure your room does not look dark and congested.
