A small powder room is great.


A small guest bath is okay.


But a small master bath...


It's just inconvenient.


Let's just say a small bathroom isn't something your realtor will be including on your house’s tear sheet when it comes time to sell.


But there’s hope! There are ways to deal with this. Your small bathroom can be designed to look and function just as well as the rest of your great house.


You just need to know a few tricks - a few little pointers that can help a tight, tiny space GROW, visually.


These tricks I'm about to show you can be applied to any type of room.


However, in a bathroom, they are particularly important.


Every bathroom has to satisfy certain needs and, therefore, must include the basics: the sink and faucet, shower or bathing area, and the toilet. No matter how small the space, these things have to be shoved in there.


(Oh, and, of course, a big bath tub, some linen storage, an extra sink for the Mr., some great lighting and mirrors, and maybe a seated vanity . . . Well, all those would be nice in a beautiful bathroom, too ;-)


If this was a living room, you could just remove some chairs. Or a sofa. Or the coffee table.


But a bathroom without a toilet? No.

TIP #1 | Keep everything the same tone / color / value as much as you can.


For example: Don’t have dark walls and light tile (or vice versa), because this will chop up the space, visually, and make it seem smaller.
