CAIRO Jan. 26 (SEE)- Narrow bathrooms cause some sort of anger and annoyance for house wives and all family members.

This might be a reason of crucial design mistakes or ignoring the use of some accessories that create a visual illusion and make you feel the surrounding space is much bigger and comfortable.

Here are some of the tricks to own a wider and elegant bathroom design.

Mini bathtubs

If you already have a small bathroom; then setting a small bathtub in one of its corners, will help you make the most of the space, faraway from big ones that waste much area without being well exploited.

Also using a glassy cabinet for your tub will provide a fantastic visual illusion and make you see the inside-tub space, instead of hiding it.

Transparent walls

If your bathroom located inside a private room, then you can use transparent walls without getting embarrassed, as this will help you extend your sight to see the whole room while being inside.

Bathroom Furniture

Try to rely on setting small bathroom furniture whether the toilet, sink or interior cabinets, in order to come up with enough free space to move easily.

Side Lighting

One of the effective ad tried visual tricks to make any space looks deeper and wider, is concentrating light only on a single corner or wall, then you will instantly feel as if the dimmed area seems much bigger than its reality.

It’s also preferable to set a mirror with group of candles or flower vase in the lightened corner, instead of the darkened one.

Large Mirror

Other essential accessory for small bathrooms is large mirror; hence instead of putting a small circular mirror above the sink, try a big rectangular one on the same whole wall, as this will double space the bathroom .

Artistic Touch 

Some people think that averting putting any extra accessories in small bathrooms will keep space for essentials, but this is not quite right, as this take delight and beauty away from your bathroom.

On the other hand, hanging some pictures with rich colors, or placing small attractive plant pots on the edge of sink or toilet will surely catch sights and lessen the feeling of boredom.
