Here are 6 easy ways to redecorate it.
Corral personal items into interesting containers, baskets or boxes. Nothing makes a space seem smaller than it is than having items spilling from every surface.
2. Remove that little throw rug on the floor to give an illusion of more space.
And strip the commode of its furry cover to keep it from becoming the room's focal point. Why dress up the one fixture to which you least want to call attention?
3. To make the room appear less utilitarian, bring in a wooden chest or a few stacking wicker or rattan boxes to add character as well as storage space.
Now you have a place to corral and stash all that stuff spilling over onto the counters.
4. No windows?
Add mirrors to the walls and choose bright colors for the bath and hand towels to give the room an airier, more spacious feel.
5. Paint or stain the cabinets in a color that complements your towels.
Or, install new handles and knobs - a bright color, silver, or white matte. It's a great way to add flair without taking up any space.
6. If you have exposed pipes, paint them the same color as the walls.
Or, paint on a faux finish in complementary colors. Since you can't get rid of the pipes, make the most of them.
