If you’ve ever rushed to get ready for work in a tiny bathroom you will know how stressful it is. You’re already late, and you’re frantically moving around the tiny space, being stopped at every turn by something getting in the way.
It’s a real nuisance in a space that should really be one of comfort and tranquillity. Luckily, there are a number of changes we make to ensure our bathrooms not only appear bigger, but actually are bigger, too!
From bright painting to clutter organisation and the most elegant frameless shower screens Melbourne has available, here are five ways to optimise your bathroom’s space in a way that won’t stress you out at the pivotal moment:
-
Paint your bathroom bright!
Dark, gloomy colours only work to create a cramped, doomy vibe. Instead, light and bright tones are those that absorb and facilitate the natural light flooding into the bathroom. They create an airy, open atmosphere, one that relieves stress when you have to get ready for that big date or important presentation.
-
Pocket door
This is a classic trick that really amplifies the feeling of space: the pocket door. This door is one that slides into the wall as opposed to opening inwards, and it’s a great space enhancer as it allows for more storage options like cabinets in the space where the rotating door would have otherwise opened. When you’re rushing to get ready and you’ve flung the door open before remembering to brush your teeth, these handy doors make all the difference in alleviating that little extra stress you might feel before rushing out said door!
-
Clear that clutter
Clutter is the antithesis of a spacious bathroom. You know that grotty feeling when you enter the bathroom, only to find towels strewn across the floor, toothbrushes (and their pastes) littering the vanity, clothes hanging off the shower screen – it’s something we can all do without.
Instead, why not go to work on organising the space? By enlisting a few helpful appendages like labelled containers (for toothbrushes, deodorants, swabs etc.), a hamper for dirty clothes and a few hooks for towels, you will be going a long way to ensuring all that clutter is kept in the past.

The ultimate spatial illusion
The best frameless shower screens Melbourne has available will ensure your bathroom feels roomier. There are many benefits to installing these interior design gems into the bathroom, including:
- Amplifying the natural light that enters the space;
- Creating a seamless barrier between shower and bathroom, and;
- Enhanced safety features through top quality glass production.
Their framed counterpart looks nothing but old and clunky, and works as a visual divider for the room (which, consequently, makes it look smaller!), so this is a big design tip for giving the room a more calming, spacious atmosphere.

Look at yourself in the (big) mirror
Look to install a larger mirror wherever you find the space. Mirrors work to create a feeling or roominess in a way that we can all agree works: they make the space seem like it is going on for an infinite amount of time. This is opposed to having a tiny mirror and large walls, which make the space feel absolutely tiny!
These five tips will go a long way to invigorating your space and making it much bigger than before, something we could enjoy when it comes to reducing some of that morning rush stress!
