I’m an interior whizz and my easy hack will make your bathroom look so much bigger – it takes no time at all
YOU may find it hard to believe that the solution to making your bathroom feel bigger is adding more stuff to it.
However, one viral TikTok has revealed that doing exactly that is the key to a spacious room.
With over 15 million views TikTok user @shanicelashaystyle has gone viral for her budget bathroom hack that claims to make small bathrooms look bigger and more luxurious.
With over 860k likes, the video shows Shanice styling a ‘double shower curtain’, adding another shower rod and set of curtains at ceiling height to the outside of the over-bath shower.
Other DIY creators are now following suit, with Katie Lewis of @k8newyork receiving over 98,000 views for her recent take on the shower upgrade hack.
Thanks to the popularity of these videos, #doubleshowercurtain now has almost 500,000 views on the app.
And experts agree that it’s the perfect way to add depth to a room.
Warren Kinloch, Bathroom Interior Expert at Bathroom Deal, has looked into the hack and given his expert opinion on the new viral trend.
“I love the idea of lifting a shower curtain pole towards the ceiling to create the illusion of more space in a bathroom,” he says.
“This is an excellent budget-friendly solution to make a small bathroom appear larger and more spa-like. Incorporating floor to ceiling shower-curtains on each side of the pole, will elevate the whole room by creating a wall of fabric that draws the eye upwards.
“For a really modern look, I would recommend using a neutral-toned shower-curtain. Shades of white, beige, or grey are always a classic choice and can help create a calming and serene atmosphere in the bathroom.
“If you’re feeling daring, you can always choose a curtain with a subtle pattern or texture too.
“The key to making this design element work is to ensure that the shower-curtains are hung at the same height and look to be flush against the wall to create a seamless appearance.”
