With the limited space available in most bathrooms nowadays, it can be quite a formidable challenge to design it in a way that effectively combines functionality and aesthetic appeal. This is probably why so many bathrooms are designed purely with function in mind, leaving comfort, taste, and even privacy entirely out of the picture. It does not have to be that way however and there are many things you can do to enhance the look of your bathroom without detracting from its function and safety.
A good part of the visual appeal of any bathroom is the space available. Ideally, bathrooms should have enough space to allow you to move around freely, without the cavernous feel that so many large bathrooms have. Even with smaller bathrooms however, it is possible to achieve this feel with a combination of lighting, colours, and appropriate bathroom fixtures.
Soft or light colours can work wonders for making a room appear larger than it really is. You can have a light colour on the walls for example, and choose or design the rest of your bathroom accessories and fixtures with complementary colours.
If you are more inclined to use bold colours, you can still implement them in a smaller bathroom design, but it may be a good idea to use them sparingly as accents. If your colour scheme uses bold colours primarily, it may actually give the impression of a smaller, more confined space.
If you opt to use wallpaper in your bathroom, try to stay away from overly complicated patterns or large prints. Subtle tones and patterns will work better, and you can even use wallpaper on only some of the walls.
