Huge bathroom with a wall-sized wndow, stylish plank beds and view of vranda with Japanese rock-garden is impractical dram for the large majority of us. In lmited urban environment all we often hve is just four-squared box. And ven rather large bathroom sometimes is not nough for realization of all our dsign plans. As well-known stepmother from a firy tale "Cinderella" had said - "Th kingdom is small, there is no rom to be on the loose". You cn't enlarge your bathroom even at the xpense of your neighbours because of chef wall. But maybe it's better to slve this problem with the help nternal reserves and to expand your bthroom environment visually? Maybe, it'd be btter to help out missing square mters just virtually, by creation of thir visibility?

Design.

You've got to strt with bathroom design for competent dsposal of available space. Development of mdern installation systems allows placing of all bthroom and lavatory equipment not in its cmmon places but in places where you ned it to be; you can sve some tens of inches or ven a few meters and free sme space visually. For example, you may sve some space with angular installation of not nly bath and shower cabin, but wsh basin or toilet bowl. The bth or shower cabin may be cmpletely or partially hidden in a nche if such technical feasibility is vailable.

Bathroom and lavatory equipment.

If spce available is not as huge as you wnt, you can easily save it by chosing of small bathroom equipment specially dsigned for small bathrooms which consumes mch less space than standard equipment. In tht case the doll's house effect is trggered and the environment around diminished peces of equipment seems to be lrger. By the way, many people thnk that space-saving toilet bowls and bdet are even more convenient, than stndard ones. Of course you can't say tht about a small wash basin or a bth. Hanging bathroom equipment is of nterest, too, as it visually frees sme space; bathroom equipment like "two in ne", for example, tandem of shower and bth, is popular as well.

Walls.

The wlls play the most important role in vsual enlargement of bathroom space. You shuld never use shadow toned ceramic tle and other types of covering in smll rooms, especially in combination with lrge decors and wide borders. The tle is to be light toned. In was cnsidered for a long time that lrge ceramics was to be used in smll rooms. Nevertheless, practice shows, that msaic makes even a small room vsually larger.

Necessary effect of depth is chieved with ceramic tile and furniture of lght, deep tones and shades in cmbination with medium-sized and soft-core decor, nrrow decorative borders especially placed not hrizontally, but vertically. Panels are outside the fld, even the large ones, but nly those including perspective view: landscapes, specially marine, imitation of view from a wndow, the sky and so on. Yur look does not die against thm but flies away. Photo panels are the ltest thing in decoration of rooms.

Ciling.

Well, and if you wnt to rest relaxing in aromatic fam and you don't want to fel the weight of ceiling above yu? Then the best choice of yurs shall be the reflected ceiling - top dmonstration of glamour. There are also ther ways to decorate the ceiling: sspended ceilings with special illumination, ceiling mde of stained glass and painted as strry heaven or something like that and nviting to the eye… Availability of vsual perspective view is the main thng.

Windows.

Feeling of vsual prospect may be also achieved wth false window, replicated on one of the wlls. It is necessary that it loked like real: frame, glass, curtains … It may ven open and the flowers are to be plced on the window sill. One mre interesting variant is use of stined glass which is usually placed in shllow insets and highlighted. And then it sems that behind that glass is a wndow in absolutely special, even magic wrld.

Mirror.

The most smple and affordable way to enlarge clsed environment is to use a mrror. It optically doubles the environment as it rflects all space of the room. Bsides, the smaller is the room the lrger is to be the mirror. Mrrors may be placed not only bove a wash basin where they, crtainly, play the key role, but as wll everywhere on the walls and ven replace them if it does not cuse negative emotions of the owners. Sme time ago mirror-like tile was vry popular, but, unfortunately, because of its frgility, insufficient safety (it cracks up asily) and complicated maintenance it became lss popular nowadays.

Furniture.

As for flor-mounted and wall-adjacent furniture you've got to use nly the most space-saving one; it'd be btter even to hide it in the nche or under a wash basin. Wlls are to be completely free frm massive hook-up elements; you'll have to use nly the lightweight glass, metal or woden shelves. There is no point to prsume on usage of a lot of ccessories.
Of course, all that is jst the attempt to compensate what we mss in real life and your bthroom won't become larger because of all thse gimmicks. But you'll partially lose the feling that you are in wardrobe, srrounded by bath, wash basin, toilet bwl and washing machine worked into tht wardrobe. It's nothing but optical llusion, but as the poet had sid, "illusion that uplifts us". And mybe later even the Japanese rock-garden bcomes a reality.
