How to Make a Small Bathroom Look Bigger

Embarking on a journey through the tapestry of time and design, the art of creating an illusion of spaciousness in a small bathroom intertwines the threads of nostalgia and contemporary sophistication. The dance commences with a selection of vintage-inspired tones, where pastel palettes transport us to a time when elegance adorned even the most intimate of spaces. 

At Ambiance Bain, pastel shades provide each and every bathroom design with a pinch of nostalgia, take our most-loved “Pompadour” shade for example, a dusky pink used to create a tranquil and luxurious bathroom design. No bathroom design is complete without Pompadour, take a look at our Sumiko collection, with a dusky pink twist. Pantone’s 2024 colour of the year is “Peach Fuzz” and our Pompadour shade provides the perfect pink bathroom for the peach and pastel shade lovers out there.

Embrace the simplicity of units and floating cabinets, like our Ketty Duo bathroom furniture, a gentle nod to an era where elegance seamlessly coexisted with utility. The vertical arrangement of units becomes a timeless ballet with dimensions, offering both a touch of nostalgia and practicality. Fixtures take on the role of temporal pillars, adorned with slender silhouettes and subtle embellishments reminiscent of eras past. As you make these choices, you breathe life into your small bathroom, transforming it into a sanctuary where memories intertwine.

Utilise Mirrors to Open Up the Space

Mirrors, those enchanting time-travellers, are far more than mere reflections; they are portals to nostalgia. When strategically placed, they become conduits of light, expanding the visual horizon and evoking the grace and elegance of yesteryears. At Ambiance Bain, we offer LED lit mirrors to expand your bathroom design, and create a more spacious illusion, as well as giving your bathroom that luxurious touch. Browse our mirrors and more to create the illusion of a larger bathroom. 

Like vintage windows, they beckon memories to dance within the room, imparting a sense of timeless grandeur. Embrace the art of mirror placement as a deliberate homage to an age when elegance and functionality were inseparable companions. Let large mirrors, reminiscent of cherished heirlooms, grace your walls, creating an illusion of vastness and echoing the sentiment of vintage sophistication. As these fixtures become echoes of temporal pillars, choose frames that whisper tales of eras gone by. 

Keep to a Cool Colour Scheme

Embark on a journey of timeless coolness by orchestrating your sanctuary with a colour scheme that whispers of both nostalgia and luxury. Envelop the space in hues reminiscent of days past, where cool tones evoke a sense of tranquillity and simplicity, echoing the grace of eras gone by.

Marry the past and present through a curated palette that transcends time, weaving a tapestry of dusky blues, muted greens, pastel pinks and gentle greys. These serene shades not only cool the visual temperature but also create a backdrop of understated elegance reminiscent of classic aesthetics.

As your space immerses in the cool colour symphony, witness the revival of your sanctuary into a haven where nostalgia converges with contemporary calmness, creating an ambiance that stands the test of time with grace and sophistication.
