The layout of a small bathroom matters more than any single finish choice. Here are four layouts that consistently feel larger than their square footage.
The corridor layout
Fixtures along one wall keep a clear walking path and work well in narrow spaces.
The wet-room layout
Removing the shower threshold entirely opens up the whole floor visually.
The floating vanity layout
A wall-mounted vanity shows more floor, which reads as more space even when the room hasn't changed size.
