Pick The Right Colors As is true for decorating any space, small bathroom designs must incorporate use of the rich colors. Colors in light shades help create the illusion of space.

Think light, think pastels; also these colors will make your single use bathroom feel fresh, relaxing, and airy. Using the right mix of colors for walls, floors, small bathroom cabinets and accessories will give a great first impression. Utilize Unused Spaces Making full use of unused spaces, such as corner and overhead spaces is a value tip for breathing air into your small bathroom.

If you are interested in putting in a bath tub, pushing it against the wall will take care of any unused space at the back. Use corner basins as well as a corner shower to make the most of the unused spaces. You can also hang your cabinets, racks, etc on overhead spaces.
