Whether you live in an apartment or a house, it’s safe to say that you’ve dealt with small bathrooms before. Some rooms are easy to manage with little to no space, but when it comes to the bathroom, things get tricky. You can’t exactly lighten the load of the room when it includes necessities like a toilet, shower, and sink. Small bathrooms are a dime a dozen, but there are also lots of ways to maximize the space and make it look bigger.

Storage solutions are a great example. They can give you additional storage while allowing you to neatly keep bottles and cosmetics out of sight. Shelves placed just above the toilet can have a similar effect and help elongate the room. These are pretty standard tips when it comes to maximizing the space. But there are other tips and tricks to consider. To help get your creative juices flowing, we’ve rounded up the best TikTok tips for making a tiny bathroom feel spacious.

Utilize Ceiling Space

We get it—the ceiling isn’t exactly the first area that comes to mind with bathroom renovations. But this hot tip might change your mind. Transforming the ceiling can give your bathroom a completely new feel and showcase the lighting. If you want to add dimension but don’t have the space to do so, an accent ceiling can be the answer. With such a small space to cover, you won’t have to load up on materials and can easily create a dynamic effect with slatting, paint, and cool lighting fixtures.

Consider Unique Storage Solutions

Individual cabinets are a great way to increase storage space in the bathroom. However, if you’re working with limited square footage, investing in a compact design will be best. This solution works for any sized space and fits neatly on the back of the door but provides rows of discrete storage. There are lots of other styles, such as a slim cabinet that fits into tight spaces, so you’ll need to shop around to find a solution that works best for your home.

Add Shelves About the Toilet

Bathroom shelving isn’t just functional— it’s also stylish. In a small bathroom, adding shelves just above the toilet will double your storage space and give you a new section for decor. While this video shows off simple wooden shelves, there are several options to consider, including glass, floating, and metal. Even better? You don’t need to be an expert to get the look. Many are ideal for DIY projects and require little to no tools to install.

Elongate the Room

Curtains are frequently used to elongate a room by drawing the eyes up and creating a high line of sight. The same principle can be applied to your bathroom and the shower curtain. To get the look, try raising the rod and placing it closer to the ceiling. Then add a long shower curtain that extends beyond the tub and sweeps the floor. The result will give the illusion of more space and a higher ceiling.

Work with Light Colors

It’s no secret that lighter colors can make a room feel more airy and open. However, if you prefer texture to plain walls, marble can be a good alternative. Placed on the floors and shower walls, it instantly brightens the bathroom, making it feel bigger. For a luxe touch, swap out your existing fixtures with chrome styles.
