Small Bathroom Design Tips

By Morgan Saylor

If you think lack of square footage stands between you and having a stunning bathroom, think again!

Kylie M. Interiors has narrowed which designs make small bathrooms (bathrooms between 25 and 60 square feet of floor space) seem larger than life. The key ingredient that this blogger uncovered as the interior design when trying to get the most out of your small bathroom:

Contrast.

Kylie M. Interiors suggests 3 ways of getting contrast:

  • Contrasting paint color palette – Pairing a darker wall color with a stark white wainscoting creates a definite contrast

  • Shower Curtain – As stated in Kylie M.’s blog, shower curtains are "the drapes of your bathroom". Repeating opposite colors where you can is key – as seen here:
