In this episode of Houzz TV Live, Houzz senior editor Mitchell Parker discusses three tricks designers use to make a narrow bathroom layout look and feel larger than it is. He shows how they highlight the floor and rear wall to focus attention on the length of a room rather than its width, use a light color scheme to create an airy atmosphere and add an abundant amount of small tiles to trick the brain into thinking there’s more space.

The bathroom pictured just above Michelle’s comments is not mine.
I had a knee wall with glass above installed between the toilet and shower area.
Sandy, we're well past the teen stage and the first grand-teen stage. Neither curtains nor glass doors made a difference (2 different houses). One year I refused to clean their bathroom for 3 months forcing them to do it when it finally grossed them out. The water issues never quite went away, but diminished greatly. I bought a low-flow low-splash shower head, which diminished the splash and put curtain magnets in the hem of the shower curtain.
A kinda funny aside - my younger sister was a mess maker at home. However, the week she moved into her first apartment she spent scrubbing every inch and was a picky perfectionist housekeeper the rest of her life.
When in doubt… I always go with white! The black and white bath in this article is perfect.
