For a small bathroom, you may have to consider your choice of colour carefully, as this is going to have an impact upon the feeling of space within the room. The natural light that comes into a smaller room is likely to be limited, and so steps will have to be taken to make the room appear bright and spacious. Try using lighter tones and colours to give the appearance of space. Using blinds instead of curtains will increase the light within the room, whilst maintaining your privacy. If using artificial lighting, down lights can be used to give a personal touch to the bathroom, while spotlights will brighten the whole room and make it much brighter, without adding clutter. The use of  mirrors will help make the room appear larger through the reflection of natural light.

Simple patterns will provide clean, crisp lines that will give a spacious feel.
