Tiny bathroom

How could we make a small bathroom look bigger? Do we use smaller or bigger tiles? Are there any clever tricks?

Bigger tiles means less grout lines and this less fussy look helps a small space feel bigger. I would also tile the floor with the same tile to help with the look.
I would add a large mirror too in order to visually double the space. When choosing a shower screen also try to find a simpler one with less visible frame.
I think people’s instinct is to go for a light coloured glossy tile but in a small space my preference is for warmer colours and a Matt finish

Agree with all that! A wall hung loo and sink (or a semi recessed sink) will also help it look spacious as the floor space is clearer. Choose a short projection loo and a basin with slim sides, so you get enough basin volume in a small size basin iyswim. Use clever tricks for storage like a tall slim shallow cupboard built between studs in the wall - perfect for bottles - and if you do use a wall hung loo, build in storage either side of the boxed in frame.

So you only have that one tiny window? Im not good with decorating but i believe you should get a bigger rug,remove the three pieces hanging on the wall behind the sectional they're too small ,and so are the ones by the dining area.i read in other discussions that art should be hung 6" above couch.look for a big piece of art to hang obove the sectional,are you gonna have a tv in this room?if you are may be you could move your couch to have it perpendicular to how it is now?that way a part of it will be on the wall where the shisha is and the other part will be floating in the room facing the wall with the three little frames where you could eventually place a tv .am i making any sense?one more thing move the dining set away from the wall and window a little bit ...i don't know i just commented to boost this dilemna up for someone to comment im curious about what anyone has to say

If you love that wallpaper, use it in bathroom. Not really right for behind bed. I would go a drum style chandelier. In a silk pale gold. Your bed looks zen or Asian to me. I love it. But, you don't. Need to much with it. Keep it simple a more formal drape on windows, color would depend on wall color and bedding. I'm thinking a dramatic peacock satin. Use a lighter same tone on walls a rich teal. Ceiling can be gold leaf. With alight that cast shadows on ceiling at night. Then your wall paper will tie in. Furn should be mirrored.

Its a really lovely room! what a great place for kids to share. I like kids sharing rooms. I think you need another colour to tie it together. I would suggest a blue tone.... teal, navy blue, duck egg blue. to tie it together. Its a little to pale and looks sparse, but actually isn't. I would leave everything exactly as is, BUT, paint the back wall behind the bed teal and find a simple navy blue wall decal that is fun and kid- like maybe one with a sillouette of a boy and girl playing. I would paint the wall behind the sofa duck egg blue. Then I think it would suit both kids more and look more kid friendly. the blues will balance the pink and cream, but because you have a pale carpet i don't think it will look too dark. don't worry about making it totally kid like, its a room they will grow with, not a kindergarten, and it also needs to peaceful and restful for sleeping. besides with their art on the walls and bright toys everywhere it soon looks bright and kid like. Good luck!

Are you able to move the bathrooms? I would suggest moving it to the middle of the house and making it just one common bathroom to share or a jack and jill bathroom. if you are able ot move this in to the interior wall it would give more light in to the bedrooms.

I agree with all of the above, and would add don't discount using a darker or patterned tile perhaps on one wall as it can actually make it look bigger too. Also, try to avoid a tile that needs white grout.

All the above are good points! If there is a back wall of the shower or bath, I tend to use a contrast pattern/textured tile to give a sense of depth too! See one of our project photos below.

What do you think? If you're local to Surrey/South West London, perhaps we can help?

Also, being clever with lighting can transform a space completely. Eliminating shadows from wall hung basins/units with some soft LED low level lighting can maximise the sense of space! :)
