If your home includes a small bathroom, and knocking out walls is not an option, then you'll need to consider the best ways to maximize space and making that space look bigger.
Maximizing the Space
Bathroom Light Fixtures
In terms of your bathroom fixtures, you should probably just keep the basic arrangement unless it absolutely does not work. Removing and replacing bathroom plumbing fixtures can be a big job, and there may not be that many options in a small bathroom for a new arrangement. However, you might want to consider replacing older fixtures with the new smaller fixtures that have been introduced. Another improvement to consider is replacing your current fixtures with new combination fixtures. Several new combo fixtures are available now to perform several functions within one space. It might even be possible to add a steam bath, a sauna or a whirlpool in a remarkably small space.
Another way to maximize the space of a small bathroom is to get rid of any accessories that are taking up floor space. You might get away with using a towel caddy or a plant stand in a larger bathroom. But having extra things on the floor beyond the basics really isn't a good idea. Try to find items that provide similar functions which can be attached to the wall or hung from the ceiling.
Making a Small Bathroom Look Bigger
Let's start with color. Light colors make a room look bigger. Of course, the lightest color is white. But if you don't like the idea of a white bathroom, pale colors often work as well as white. Another option would be to add an occasional row of pale colored tiles in the midst of white tiles. If your decorating budget doesn't allow for replacing the tiles right now, it is possible to paint them with paint made just for that purpose. Painting your tiles and adding a new shower curtain could make a big difference in the perceived size of your small bathroom.
The next trick for making your small bathroom look larger is to add any design elements that draw people's eyes upward. Additions like crown molding or high shelving add to the illusion that the room is really bigger than it is. Surprisingly, large floor tiles instead of small ones also give the impression of a larger room. Another trick for enlarging the room is to use clear shower doors. If you can see all the way to the back wall when you go into the bathroom, your eyes will be fooled into thinking the room is larger.
There are several options for dealing with a small bathroom. In terms of maximizing the space, think multifunction, hidden spaces and high spaces. To make your small bathroom look larger, use pale colors, high decorations, and lots of glass and mirrors.
