Get Clever With Shelves
Space is a commodity in a small bathroom, so a few floating shelves above the toilet or behind a door can work wonders. Opt for thin shelves as they look less bulky and will allow more room for your things. If your wall-mounted medicine cabinet is looking a little outdated, give it a lick of paint or replace it with a snazzier option.

Paint The Walls
A fresh coat of paint is like waving a magic wand in your bathroom – the difference is immediate! It’s by far the quickest way to make your space appear more stylish and modern. Choose a feature wall to paint in a different shade – this instantly creates depth in a small space.
If you can’t paint your walls for any reason, consider painting your vanity or opting for stunning peel-and-stick tile decals.

Invest In Houseplants
Nothing brightens up a space more than a few indoor plants and your bathroom is one of the best places in the house for them, thanks to its mostly warm and humid climate. Get plants that are most suited to your particular situation (in terms of light and ventilation) and watch as they brighten your small bathroom with pops of colour and texture. Spider plant, mother-in-law’s tongue, and peace lilies are all great options.
Be careful not to overdo the look, though. There’s a fine line between a colourful, lively-looking room and a crowded ‘cupboard’.

Apply Wow-Factor Wallpaper
Like creating a feature wall with a new shade of paint, removable wallpaper can give your small bathroom the personality it needs. Look at your fixtures and think of the look you’d like to create – then choose a fabulous wallpaper design.

Introduce Art
Find eye-catching artworks to suit your theme as these will instantly make the room more interesting. A stunning mirror will also add depth and glamour to the space.
Art doesn’t have to be a painting, of course. Add a fabulous shower curtain to the bath or bring colour in with a vibrant rug. The bathroom will be your favourite room in no time.
