Color

Lighter shades create an illusion that the room is bigger.

Lighting

Optimal use of lighting is another thing that would help your Long Island bathroom remodeling result achieve a more spacious look. Maximize use of both natural and artificial lighting through larger windows and more radiant fixtures. If you include changing windows in your project, then opt for bay windows which offers added space through its alcove while letting the room take in as much of the sunlight and the views. And when positioning lighting fixtures, avoid creating shadows that not only leave an unflattering effect on the room but also disrupts the illusion of space.

Storage

The design of your cabinets and shelves should be one that is specifically created to meet your storage needs, enabling you to manage everything well enough, while being as compact as possible. Leave the walls free from bulky installations. Opt for innovative storage solutions like medicine cabinet and mirror as one depressed into the wall, vanities with organizing drawers and others.

Mirrors

Reflection is another element that could help you in amplifying space, by creating a redundant scene of radiant lights, light wall colors and right patterns that all adds up to the illusion of more space. Frameless mirrors can do just the trick for your Long Island bathroom remodeling project. You can also have mirrors installed facing the window or each other.

Other Bathroom Elements

A corner shower would leave more area for other features for you to add into your bathroom remodeling project. If a tub is viable, then go for deep soaking models and you can even have a shower with it, using the tub as the same area to shower in. Another design element to take advantage of is vertical patterns.
