Unless you live in a custom-made house with a chic bath and dressing room, you probably wish your bathroom were larger or at least look larger and be more comfortable. So, how to make your small bathroom look and feel larger.
A small bathroom can be intimate and cozy. Depending on your own style and taste, bathroom can be quiet and sophisticated, charming, or sparkling like a jewel box.
No matter what style you decorate your little bath, though, it will always be a small bath.
The theory about space enlargement apply here as to any other room in the house.
Colors Selection
Pale, soft color schemes tend to give the illusion of more space. It doesn't mean that the small bath has to be pink, but avoid exciting colors. Use the brights for accessories and towels, but choose pastel tones, neutrals, and whites for backgrounds.
Brighten Up the Room
Without taking up any counter space, you can add extra lighting to "open up" the look of your bathroom and add interest. Lighting can be installed into the ceiling and focused on any work space. Wall sconces or a countertop lamp will add warmth. More expensive alternatives for bringing more light into the room would be skylights, Solatubes or large windows.
Trade a Large Vanity for a Delicate Pedestal Sink
A vanity cabinet provides nice storage under a sink, but takes up lots of floor space in a small bathroom. Replacing the vanity with a pedestal or wall-mounted sink can be be fairly inexpensive. Your bath will definitely look more open. Find alternative storage space with a small shelf or organize a nearby linen closet.
Cut Back Anything That Sticks Out
Even the smallest piece of furniture or accessory that sticks out into the room can stop where your eye goes and make your bathroom seem to shrink. Remove wall shelves, hanging racks, or decorative accessories on the walls that cut into the room and make it look smaller. But you may need some of the pieces for comfort and their usefulness, but if the room feels bigger without them, think of some other way to supply the space you need... =>

If there is not enough space for washer in your bathroom you can sacrifice your sink. If you want to have a bidet but it is too expensive you can install a hygienic shower. It's a pipe attached to a toilet tank.
