You don't need square footage to transform a bathroom. You need the right three decisions made in the right order.
A small bathroom is actually easier to make dramatic than a large one, because every surface is within reach of the eye. Get three things right and the room reads as fully renovated.
First, pick one hero material and let it carry the room. Second, get the lighting off the ceiling and onto the face at the mirror. Third, float the vanity to show more floor, which tricks the eye into reading more space.
Everything else is finish selection. Nail those three moves and a five-by-eight bathroom can feel like a spa.
