A small bathroom does not have to feel small. The trick is to give every fixture a clear job and keep the sightlines open from the door to the far wall.

Start with the basin: a wall-mounted mixer frees the deck and makes a compact cloakroom feel twice as wide. Pair it with a floating vanity so the floor runs underneath, and choose a large-format tile to cut down on grout lines that chop up the eye.

Lighting does the rest. A daylight-balanced mirror light removes the shadows that make tight rooms feel cramped, while a glass shower panel — instead of a curtain — lets the whole room read as one space. Finish with one tall plant or a single piece of art; small rooms forgive one bold accent far better than five small ones.
