8. Add Smart Lighting
Good lighting can completely transform a small bathroom. A dim or shadowy room feels smaller, while bright, layered lighting makes it feel open and welcoming.
Start with a bright ceiling light for overall illumination. Then add task lighting around the mirror for practical use. Wall sconces on either side of the mirror reduce shadows and create a balanced look.
Warm white lighting often feels more flattering and comfortable than overly cool light. If possible, maximize natural light by keeping windows unobstructed or using sheer coverings.
Lighting is not just functional—it shapes how spacious the room feels.
