Make your small bathroom feel bigger with clever design tricks. Create a sense of space with an open-plan layout, frameless glass, and wall-mounted fixtures. A freestanding bath is also ideal as it increases visible floor area.

For a budget-friendly update, focus on improving lighting and using a cohesive colour scheme with mixed textures. Light colours enhance spaciousness, while strategic tiling—using consistent tones or a bold 'hero' tile'—can make a significant visual impact.
