What are the differences between a large bathroom and a small bathroom?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
You should know that determining whether a space is large or small depends on the size of the home, the needs and the number of people who live in it. To determine if a bathroom is small or large, the main criterion we must follow is the available space we have once everything is installed. As a general rule, if it exceeds 7m2 we would already be talking about a large space. <\/p>\n
When we want to renovate a small bathroom, the first thing we should do is look at the space we have outside the room and the feasibility of having it by subtracting it from other rooms in the house. On the other hand, when the bathroom is large, we no longer need to expand it further, therefore our objectives change and go from “gaining meters” to “gaining width”. In these cases we must pay close attention to the light inputs, the usefulness of the elements in the room, the color of the materials, etc. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\nHow to Expand a Bathroom – Tips and Little Tricks <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
It is understandable that resorting to a comprehensive renovation can involve an amount of money that we probably do not have right now. That is why we want to give you a series of tips on how to expand a bathroom and thus get out of the way and feel comfortable in this much-needed space. <\/p>\n\n
1. Elige una buena iluminaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
Light expands spaces, there are different ways to achieve this. <\/p>\n
- \n
- Ventana<\/strong>: si tu cuarto de ba\u00f1o cuenta con una ventana haz que esta peque\u00f1a ranura de luz sea el centro del espacio, no lo tapes con persianas, cortinas o llenes la repisa de cosas. Es recomendable que instales cristales totalmente transparentes, que dejen pasar la mayor cantidad de luz posible.\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Iluminaci\u00f3n<\/strong>: si tu ba\u00f1o no dispone de ventana, es importante que cuides mucho su iluminaci\u00f3n. No te olvides de ninguna esquina oscura. Lo que consigues es que a parte de tener una buena visibilidad, el ba\u00f1o parezca mucho m\u00e1s grande y luminoso. Ilumina tambi\u00e9n las estanter\u00edas, da volumen a todo el espacio. Instala luces LEDs estrat\u00e9gicamente en lugares clave, luz de techo, lamparas, etc.\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Paredes<\/strong>: uno de los grandes trucos en este tipo de espacio es pintar del mismo color las paredes y el techo, amplias el espacio, los techos parecen m\u00e1s altos…<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

2. Espejos grandes<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Mirrors, apart from being necessary, practical and decorative elements, have the effect of doubling spaces. Add mirrors, don’t be afraid of their size, the bigger the more the light will reflect and therefore, the wider the space will look. <\/p>\n\n
Trick! <\/strong><\/p>\n
Not only its size matters, correct placement and height are essential for good functionality. Neither too high nor too low, it has to reflect <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n3. Desorden y despeje<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
The more clutter you see in a space, the smaller it will be. It is important that both visually and in our closets we eliminate clutter and leave everything clean in sight.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n
A trick is to hide the bathroom mat, always leaving it on the floor does not benefit us. Put it away and show off the floor, choose a piece of furniture that does not touch the floor, it is less heavy to look at, the bathroom is larger and makes cleaning easier. <\/p>\n
4. Almacenamiento, apuesta por muebles simples pero profundos<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Order is very important in this space. In order to eliminate clutter, we need bathroom storage to be optimized. In a small space do not add extras, glue all the furniture next to the wall achieving more amplitude and passage area. <\/p>\n
Remember this rule! Less is more<\/strong>, place only essential elements, do not overload furniture or shelves. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n5. Puertas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
Having a door that opens inwards makes the bathroom lose much more space. Just as if we have a shower door or screens we recommend that they are sliding, they do not remove or limit space. It is recommended that shower doors or screens are transparent, so that they let more light through to the rest of the space and expand it. <\/p>\n\n
6. Apuesta por un plato de ducha y olv\u00eddate de las ba\u00f1eras<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
As much as we love relaxing bathrooms, if you are looking for a large space, the best way to achieve this is by installing a walk-in shower tray. In addition, we recommend that you raise the shower bar to the ceiling. This will make us look higher and everything seems higher, generating a large space and a large bathroom. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n7. El suelo es importante<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
Last but not least, choose light floors, a dark floor cancels out the open and large space. A glossy and luxurious floor improves the view and spaciousness of the space. <\/p>\n\n
And of course, the last piece of advice: “Let yourself be advised by professionals”. Those of us who work in interior design and decoration know what colours, what distribution and what elements are the ones that will help you have the perfect stay. <\/p>\n
