If your bathroom is smaller and less airy, look to a colour layout that combines light shades with bright pops of colours.

Make a small bathroom feel bigger

Tiny bathroom? Bring it to life with colour

Transform your bathroom from small to spacious with neutrals and blues.

Create the impression of space in your bathroom with light shades, such as a feathery white or a warm dove grey. Soft shades of aqua and sea green also work wonderfully in small rooms -– they trick the eye into thinking the walls are further apart than they actually are. Low ceiling? Choose a colour two shades lighter than your walls to create an enlarged look.

Small spaces also love bright colours – the key is to add them in small doses. Bathroom shelves or cabinets painted lively shades will draw the eye away from cramped areas and create focal points. Choose fresh, crisp tones that work well with white, such as mango or lemon. Bright yellows will also instantly lift the spirits and help to create a restful place where you can refresh your body and mind.
