Don't think that tiny bathrooms are the lot of residents of "Khrushchev-era" apartments. Even in modern new buildings, this room is sometimes allocated only a few meters.

If you are forced to put up with such a situation, listen to the advice of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino . She knows how to visually enlarge the room.

First of all, don’t forget about the power of a well-chosen color scheme.

Be sure to use light shades that can visually increase the area of the room. Saturated colors are also suitable, but only as accents.

If you cannot give up dark tones, use them, but with caution and do not give up light accents, and also think through several lighting scenarios and make sure there are mirrors and glossy surfaces.
