In a bathroom with a sloping ceiling, the walls are often sloped, adding a claustrophobic atmosphere to the bathroom. With good design ideas you can make the room larger and more comfortable.
Paint the slanted onesBathroom wallsthe same color as the ceiling. The same color gives the impression that the sloping wall is actually part of the ceiling. This is a design mechanism that makes the bathroom look larger than if the walls and ceilings were in different colors.
Choose a shade of white or a very pale pastel color for the ceiling and walls. Cool tones like mint and sky blue are also good choices. Neutral colors like light beige too. Light colors open up a small space and give the viewer the impression that the room is larger. Avoid dark or saturated colors such as turquoise, dark red, black, brown or dark blue.
Accent walls
Draw the outline of the window or mirror in a bold pop of color to complement the design and add contrast with the pale, soothing, lighter shade on the walls and ceiling. Don't overuse dark colors. Too many details make the room seem cluttered and smaller.
Install enough recessed lights to keep your small bathroom evenly lit and pleasantly bright. Recessed lights don't take up much space and their brightness makes the room appear larger. A large window under a bathtub would also be a good idea.
A large mirror can help open up a small bathroom. If possible, have it reflect a window or at least a painting or photo on the opposite wall. Avoid keeping a lot of accessories such as extra towel baskets or wall shelves so that it looks spacious and calm.
