The right coloring
If you only have a small bathroom, you shouldn't make the room look smaller with dark colors. White bathrooms appear larger and wider. However, it quickly looks sober and cold if tiles, sanitary objects and furnishings are kept completely in neutral white. Although visual calm is important, it can also be achieved with the right color scheme. Soft tones such as cream or sand as a base have a harmonious effect. The atmosphere can be loosened up with contrasting or accent colors. However, these do not necessarily have to be found on the wall or tiles. Bathroom furniture or accessories such as towels, soap dispensers or candles will also create a new atmosphere. The atmosphere is rounded off by sensual materials. Natural products such as wood, stone, cotton or linen ensure relaxation and well-being.
Light also plays a crucial role. Ideally, the basic lighting is not too bright, but still provides warm light. Accent light on the mirror ensures that important areas are still sufficiently illuminated. LED lights can bathe rooms in a different color depending on the mood. These do not have to be used in the entire room, but can also be used in individual areas such as an open shower. Depending on how you feel, the color can then be changed. Cool tones like blue or green are calming, while warm colors like red or yellow are invigorating. Candles also provide relaxation and warm, soothing light.
With the right accessories, the room can be visually enlarged or give the feeling of being in a modern spa. Mirrors are a tried and tested way to add spatial depth to a small bathroom. Gold leaf tiles add a touch of luxury and distract from the lack of size.
