Wall treatments, flooring and tiling are great ways to add texture to the bathroom space. If we choose tactile materials, such as cork and concrete, contrast smooth and rough surfaces or play around with tile patterns to create a finish that’s textured and pleasant to touch.

3. UNIFORMITY: Using lots of different-colored patterns in your bathroom makes it appear cluttered and divides up the space as it feels smaller. So, for a small bathroom it is necessary to use a uniform. Light color, same pattern throughout the room will open it up and create the impression of a larger, brighter and unbroken look.

6. MIRROR HACKS: It’s a thought that small washrooms need small-size mirrors. But in today’s design world, this thought is wrong. A small mirror in the bathroom makes it look small.
