Hey Gibby -- 6 x 10 bath here [finally demo'd last week!] and I know that my size isn't even that small. I've been on the lookout for 3 or so years and it's been surprisingly difficult to find ideas. Aside from "recess whenever possible," of course! There's the "monochromatic = more spacious" school of thought but IMO there are alternative ways to lead the eye around the room and create interest in a small space. Things to consider: * color / color contrast * the lines of an object (round vs square) * judicious use of oversized scale * having some consistency with eyelines/sightlines of your vertical elements Here are some of the apparently-smaller baths I've found that put at least one of the above into action: We're adapting this built-into-doorway cab for our bath -- ours will be built out from the wall, perpendicular to the sink, and serve as a med cabinet. I'd use a wall-hung if this were a full bath, but I do love this! [Note horizontal cladding] I was involved in this [5 x 8 with TWO doors!] bath: Grabbed space from kitchen to make this 15" cubby: IMO one of the biggest challenges with small baths is to create negative space that serves to set off what IS in the room. In our case, we splurged a bit on a demilune/semicircle vanity instead of a square or rectangular one -- given our bowling alley dimensions, it helps carve out some pleasing curves. However, having lived in a place where the tiny wall-hung sink, toilet, and clawfoot were all accessible from one spot I know negative space is sometimes non-existent! I've enjoyed the book below, which has a mix of sizes and lots of materials in it --"ideas for tiny half-baths, medium-size his-and-hers, and large, luxurious home spas. Specifics on ventilation, waterproofing, faucets, showers, tubs, and more." Here is a link that might be useful: New Bathroom Idea Book (Taunton Press)

A wonderful job! Your 'before' photos show a tub that looks a lot like ours - but ours was an icky green! It may not be the same, as this one is reasonably deep. But it has a straight back which is very uncomfortable when trying to soak. I really envy you your deep new tub. We couldn't afford to take ours out due to flooring issues. So we just had it repainted instead. The old green monster: Much better in neutral beige! I can't get over those blue carpet tiles on the wall. I had to get my DH to come over and look at such an amazing (and appalling) sight! I thought our original bathroom was ugly - the POs had a bright pink fluffy toilet seat cover in a green and yellow bathroom!? - but I think yours has beaten ours for the 'most awful decorating', hands-down...... Congrats again on doing such a great job. I'm impressed with your DIY skills!

I agree, roman shade would be first choice but a couple others for your consideration: 1) you could make a perfect size cheap cafe curtain to cover 1/2 -2/3 of the window with some iron on hemming tape either rod pocket orclip on curtain rings, that way you let the top half of the light in 2) window obscuring sheets are very easy to apply and found on amazon. I have the former in my downstairs powder and latter in my upstairs bath and I've never had a peeling or moisture problem 3 years later

Certainly not a pro (you’ll get them to chime in, for sure :) - but I’d go black on the frame, the TP/Towel holders. Heck, I’d even do black for the light fixtures! Love the contrast that you’ve got going on now.
