Use Space-Saving Storage
There is nothing more irksome than winding down after a long tiring day only to step inside your bathroom and see a mess. Damp towels on the floor, lotion bottles, and rolls of tissue papers are scattered all around. If carving out additional storage in your tiny powder room is not an option anymore, try using an over the toilet cabinet.
These cabinets work smart. They maximize the space above your flush. Plus, they do not require an installation downtime and are budget-friendly! There are plenty of sizes and styles to choose from. There are ladder shelving systems made of wood and three-tier storage racks in anti-corrosion steel. Want to put some of your stuff on display? Try those pretty cabinet towers with tempered glass windows.

Reflect
In a tiny bathroom, space is of the essence. To those who have one, they would surely say there is a real satisfaction when every inch of space is utilized! Have plenty of empty walls? Take every opportunity to hang up mirrors on them. Mirrors are low-key multi-taskers. Here’s why: They bounce light. Mirrors reflect everything in front of them. If you have small windows, angle your mirrors facing the source of light. This will instantly spread the warmth and brighten the atmosphere in your bathrooms. This trick works for both ambient or natural and artificial lighting. They give a spacious vibe. These reflectors create an illusion that space is larger than it actually is. Hence, they make an essential piece to every small interior, especially tight bathrooms! If you have vertical space, try hanging up a tall mirror. It draws the eyes upward. Trust me, you’ll see the difference right away.

Stay Light
Although a variety of colors make a room bold and adventurous, they don’t do well in small spaces. Dark colors and contrasting hues—from wall paint to fixtures and accents—can make a small room look even smaller. They absorb light and make you feel like you are in a cave. Follow the design world’s advice: Use light colors and stick to the monochromatic shades. They make spaces look open and airy, which is all about optical illusion!
Easy on the eyes, minimalist color palettes have light hues that work perfectly in tight rooms. Check out soft blue-grays, muted latte browns, linens, and sand. These chic colors are very popular today, and they work well with white ceilings and cabinetry.

Replace Swinging Doors
Unlike traditional doors that open out into a room, pocket doors completely disappear from view when opened. They slide into a hidden wall cavity when pushed back, freeing up some precious floor space! Also, apart from acting as partitions, pocket doors can also be used on closets, cabinets, and shower panels.
-
Use a Tub and Shower Combo
Love to soak but hardly have room enough for a shower? If your bathroom will not allow you to accommodate a full-sized tub separate from the shower, do not fret. There are tub and shower combos perfect for you! Consider lower-walled and corner tubs. They do not take much floor space and they make the bathroom seem more expansive—ideal for warm showers and good enough for a soak.
-
Hang the Curtains High
If your powder room is not blessed with welcoming windows, you are not alone. We all wished we had a high ceiling. Good thing, working around this common problem is an easy task! The solution? Tall curtains. Simply install the curtain rods near the ceiling and let the draperies fall close to the floor. This trick creates an illusion of height, making your bathroom appear taller and roomier.
To quote the experts, pick curtain shades that are in the same color family as your walls to maximize this trick. Instead of intruding and separating the space behind the curtains, they will blend into your walls, creating a sense of continuity.
