If you're anything like the average home in the UK, then your bathroom is relatively small. For those of us who love baths, and love to relax in the bathroom, this isn't a good thing. They can make the space feel oppressive.

Nobody wants to spend time relaxing in a space that feels suffocating.

Fortunately, even the smallest of bathrooms can be made to feel larger if you know the tricks of the trade. In this article, I am going to teach you some of the things that you can do to help make your bathroom feel much bigger.

Paint it in a light colour

The first thing to do is to make sure that you choose the correct colour scheme. In general, if you want a room to feel bigger, you must paint it a light colour. White is the best paint to use as it reflects the most light around the room.  A darker paint will absorb the light and this will make the room feel darker. 

When choosing your paint colours make sure that it has a satin or eggshell, and even gloss, finish, as this will increase the amount of light that it reflects through the room. You can even buy paint with light reflective particles. This will further enhance the effects.

 Increasing the amount of light in the room will really help, so be sure to add a mirror or two to help with the effect.

Get rid of the radiator

 There's no doubt about it, definitely do need a source of heat in the bathroom. If you do not have heat, the bathroom can develop damp and mildew.

Unfortunately, this means that you have to have a radiator. At least you did...

... Until we invented and perfected underfloor heating accessories!

You can free up a lot more space in your bathroom by removing the radiator and installing underfloor heating instead. This can be problematic if you are using your radiator to dry your towels but if you don't do this, then underfloor heating are a fantastic option. 

If you buy an electric underfloor heating kit, you can install it yourself. This makes the costs much lower than with other types of heating. Furthermore, whilst underfloor electric heating can be more expensive than central heating because you are only installing it in the bathroom, it's actually not going to make that much of an impact on your energy bills.

When buying your kits, make sure that includes underfloor heating accessories too, so that you can do the entire installation yourself.

Buy a smaller suite

The final thing that you can do to help increase the space in your bathroom is to install smaller baths, toilets, and sink. You can buy Deep baths that narrow, which will take up a lot less space but will still allow you to make the most of your bath.

I hope that you have found this article useful and that you now know how to move forward with your bathroom in order to make it feel bigger.
