No matter the size of your bathroom, there are a few things you can always do to make your bathroom look bigger and brighter. If you’re remodeling or plan on installing a few new things in your bathroom to make it look newer and better, you should always look for quality glass. Placed in a few strategic areas, glass can make your bathroom look and feel larger. Here are 5 tips on remodeling with glass for a more modern aesthetic.

Glass Shower Doors

Whether you have a stand-up shower or a cozy bathtub, consider installing glass doors instead of just putting up a curtain. The glass will keep the moisture and humidity inside the shower area, extending the longevity of your bathroom’s beauty, as mold often ruins walls and fabrics hanging in your bathroom. Plus, glass shower doors give you the impression of more space. Clear glass walls are especially good for smaller bathrooms as they open up the room. If your bathroom is already roomy, consider etched or frosted glass to bring a sophisticated touch that will make your bathroom seem large but cozy. Glass also reflects light, making your bathroom brighter. Lighting and glass around your shower can give you that large bathroom feel.

Glass Backsplashes

Installing a glass backsplash in your bathroom is another great way to utilize glass to make your bathroom look bigger and brighter. You can choose a vintage design or keep it clean and glossy, but a backsplash is a perfect way to decorate and protect your walls at the same time. In this case, the glass will go over your walls or tiles and protect them from bathroom mold, fungus, and other water damage. They’ll also add a deep luster that gives the room a luxurious and vibrant air, which helps a small bathroom appear larger than it is.

Glass Tiles

Another extraordinary glass design, you can use etched or frosted glass pieces to create glass tilling. A glass tile wall is a beautiful way to highlight your shower or bath enclosure, or separate bathroom fixtures without crowding the room or making it feel dark. Additionally, you can get creative with a number of different styles and patterns here.

Magical Mirrors

Mirrors are a fantastic way to dress up a small bathroom and make it feel much larger and more stylish. Whether you’re into large antique frames or you prefer something more modern and metallic, or even frameless, a large, quality mirror may just transform your bathroom like magic. Interior designers have been using mirrors fin small spaces for decades. The idea is that it “doubles” the room. At the very least, it certainly makes it feel bigger. Even if you don’t have much space, you can get a customized mirror that can cover the wall you do have. Small mirrors above the sink don’t have the same effect as a beautiful, large, wall mirror in the bathroom.
