The most common question when it comes to bathroom ceiling height is how to make the space feel taller. You don't have to choose an entirely new bathroom for this effect; simply adding a few strategically placed mirrors will do wonders for the effect. Mirrors allow you to make the space feel taller by reflecting light around them, making the entire room seem taller. If you are remodeling your bath, here are five of the best ideas for maximizing on the height of your newly remodeled bathroom.
Mirrors are the simplest way to go. Buy at least one large, clear mirror and two smaller mirrors, both slightly angled. Position the mirrors so that they are perpendicular to your bathroom door. This positioning makes the space appear wider.
If you don't have space for two mirrors, consider installing one large mirror with an accent behind it. You could also try mounting a wall-mounted mirror as well. Mounting one in the corner and another one in the middle of the room will give the illusion of three dimensional space. A mirrored medicine cabinet or display case can be hung from the ceiling or mounted on the wall. This gives the illusion of a third dimension.
Bathroom mirrors are a great way to achieve a higher ceiling height. There are some simple ways to increase the height of a mirror without adding bulk or taking up too much room. You should angle the mirrors just enough to reflect the room's natural height. If you want to make the room feel taller, be sure to also add a few extra feet to the width of your doors.
Adding a few plants to your bath can also help heighten the space. Plants grow vertically, so if you add a tall plant or a number of shorter ones, they will all get taller. You can also try to use plants that are taller than the tallest of your guests. These can be on either side of your bath to give a sense of space.
If you have a vanity or dressing area, you can add an enclosed mirror above it. Enclosed vanities look especially good when they are attached to a medicine cabinet or display case. If you get an enclosed vanity with a high back, however, make sure you don't make it too low or the view from inside the bathroom will be blocked. The vanity can still be higher than most other pieces of furniture in your bathroom. It can be placed on top of your dresser or in a corner if it will look better there.
Another tip for increasing the space in your bathroom is to install a mirror over your bathtub. You'll get more room in the tub, and it will also make your bathroom look bigger. Mirrors also reflect light, which helps make rooms look bigger. You can also install a skylight over your bath to increase the depth of the room. A skylight works best if it is located above a window that looks directly into your bath.
When installing a vanity, you should choose one that doesn't block your tub or toilet and has a high enough height. You can also use taller cabinets along with mirrors to improve the appearance of the room. Make sure you also have enough room in your walk-in closet for all of your bathroom accessories.
If you don't want to use a mirror, you can still improve your bath by adding lights. Bathroom lights can make the difference between a pretty bathroom and a dark and scary bathroom. Try to find a mirror without a back, so that you can easily see the reflection of yourself. Lights also reflect light, so you may want to position your vanity so that they can shine into a mirror behind you. You can also position lights behind your towels or your clothes racks. And don't forget to illuminate the area behind the wall mirrors.
Some people like to add some plants to their bathroom, especially if they are going with a "plant-less" design for their bathroom. Plants add color and can soften the room. But you should be careful about where you place them and how many you get. The floor tends to absorb more water, so make sure that the plants don't grow too close together. You also want to make sure that the plants have plenty of room, because if not, they'll crowd the space and make it look crowded.
One way to add height to a bathroom is to add a vanity. A small vanity will make the room seem taller, but you have to make sure that it is big enough to fit all of your stuff in. And remember that you should always install the vanity on an angled surface. If you position it on a flat surface, it won't look right. Adding some mirrors to the bathroom vanity can make it look even taller. And don't forget to position it high enough that you can easily see out of the bathroom.
