Creating an Illusion of space in a small narrow bathroom

How to create an illusion of space in a small bathroom

Some of our customers have large bathroom spaces to work with, but that’s not always the case.

From a Showerscape perspective, frameless glazing or sliding glass doors are one of the most effective ways to open up a narrow bathroom without altering the physical footprint. Because the sliding doors glide rather than swing, you remove the need for clearance space, instantly making the room feel less cramped and more considered. The obvious transparency of glass plays a huge role too, so choosing a frameless sleek design is essential here. A sliding door allows the eye to travel from wall to wall, creating a continuous line of sight instead of visually dividing the room. That uninterrupted flow is what gives the impression of greater width and depth.

For us at Showerscape, the door becomes even more transformative when paired with our beautifully printed shower panels. A striking design behind the glass draws your gaze in to the room, adding dimension and light depending on the image chosen. It gives a sense of space and a focal point that feels intentional.

The end result is a bathroom that feels lighter, more spacious, and far more luxurious even in the tightest of spaces. 

Floor-to-ceiling tiling instantly makes a narrow bathroom feel taller and more open. Continuous vertical lines draw the eye upward, creating the impression of added height and reducing the sense of confinement. When combined with Showerscape printed shower wall panels, the full-height feature becomes a focal point that adds depth and intention to the space. The result is a bathroom that feels more spacious, elegant and thoughtfully designed.
