Expand Your Bathroom Without Expanding the Walls

The most important thing you can do to make your bathroom seem bigger is eliminate the clutter! That's where a good bathroom vanity comes in. A bathroom vanity gives you the space to store your toiletries and other personal items. Some bathroom vanities have space for towels, and even hanging racks to keep your towels fresh and ready for use.

More Storage You can also consider extra bathroom storage to eliminate unsightly clutter. This clutter swallows a room and makes it seem small. Wall cabinets, which affix to your bathroom's wall, and floor cabinets, which are similar to a chest of drawers, both are specially made for use in your bathroom, and both will make your bathroom seem yards bigger. A Thousand Points of Light After eliminating the clutter by making good use of a bathroom vanity and other bathroom storage solutions, consider your bathroom lighting. If it's not particularly bright, you should look into new lighting - particularly lighting that is part of your bathroom vanity. Bathroom vanity kits include the actual vanity cabinet, sink, mirror and oftentimes a light strip. All of these units are designed to work in concert. A refreshed decorating scheme can mean a brighter, bigger looking bathroom as part of a new bathroom vanity set.

A Fresh Coat of Paint
If it's been a while since you painted your bathroom, you might consider a fresh coat: Even if your bathroom is painted in a light color, that color can get dingy and fade over time. A new coat - of bright, glossy paint - will ensure the light is able to reflect brightly throughout the room. To achieve the look of a bigger room, it's important to use a bright-colored paint, such as white or yellow. A dark-colored paint, such as brown or black, will make the room look small.

Finally, you might consider adding an extra mirror to your bathroom. You probably already have a mirror as part of your vanity set. Another mirror, placed so it reflects the light and image from your vanity mirror, can make a room look brighter - and bigger.
