The shower curtains don’t have to be ankle-length always. Lift them up to the ceiling and make your walls look taller. They should definitely pass the usual bathtub height!

No decor list is complete without the mention of those vintage farmhouse styles. In this idea, you would need some furniture and matching paint and you would have your own rustic farmhouse style bathroom ready!

Make your bathroom look bigger with long vertical stripes. The dramatic stripes enable the interior to look more defined and appealing if contrasted with the background colors.
43. Ultra Glam Designs
Smaller bathrooms can be adorned with pricey materials as we need so little of them. Design your bathroom with dazzling damask wallpapers, sunburst mirrors, and some classic pendant lights to achieve that super classy look for your bathroom.
44. Doors and Rugs
If you don’t want those tinted glasses for shower doors, go for canopied wooden ones. They would also look fantastic if made of copper-colored metals. Similarly, you don’t need rugs for a smaller bathroom. A cheeky tile design would do justice to the flooring!
45. Barn Doors
For an epic rustic look, you can install a sliding barn door oil-rubbed bronze and black finish. This will not only save a lot of space in your bathroom but would also be a style statement itself.
