Re: how do I paint my small bathroom to make it look bigger

Welcome to the Workshop community @nicholaalexande. Many thanks for your question, I'd be happy to assist with it.

 

If you would like to upload some pictures of the bathroom it would assist community members in providing some helpful advice on paint choices.

 

As a general rule of thumb, brighter rooms give the impression of being larger. It would be my suggestion to select from an off-white range of colours for the walls and painting your architrave, skirting and ceiling in an even lighter shade. Light and bright walls are more reflective, making a space feel open and airy. You can certainly go for a specific colour but once again I would keep them in lighter tones as dark colours can make a room feel confined. 

 

You might also like to consider the addition of a large mirrornatural lighting and storage solutions to enhance the overall feeling of a larger room.
