Looking for small bathroom design ideas that will make the space seem larger than life? This also applies to most of New York City. The lack of square footage, limited natural light, and number of fixtures to accommodate make a small bathroom one of the more difficult rooms to decorate. But if done right, the whole room can seem brighter and more spacious. And no, you don't have to spend a million dollars to carve a window into the wall (or resort to something retro like glass blocks).
These small bathroom design ideas go beyond making the most of available space and prove that bold design elements can be at home in even the smallest spaces. Here are the best ways to transform powder rooms, half baths, and small (sometimes windowless) bathrooms into less cramped, more comfortable situations. Your small bathroom could become your next favorite room.

A wooden floor and a vanity give this urban bathroom a warm and calm atmosphere. A soft mint green hue reflects the natural light coming through the window. The space around the freestanding bathtub makes the room appear more open, as does the lightweight curtain material, which allows for maximum light.
2. Or double it up with a dark color scheme
