Most homes have a least one small bathroom. Whether it is the only bathroom or a hallway half-bath, some homeowners don't know how to best paint it to create the illusion of it being larger, or to simply make it look nice. There are many painting ideas for small bathrooms; some are as simple as choosing the right color and painting the entire bath that color, while others will be more challenging, entailing different colors and styles. Instructions as follows: Firstly, choose a light-colored paint. Light, pale colors make your bathroom look larger. Neutrals, naturals, pastels and whites will do the trick. If this is too boring for you, you can always liven it up with bold-colored accents like red towels or navy blue toothbrush and soap holders. Secondly, choose a bold color. If your walls are tiled halfway with white tiles, or even the classic black-and-white tiles, a bold color might be a good choice. You might not like the tiled walls, but once you contrast them with a bold color like Chinese red, you will be amazed at how much of a transformation you can effect to your little bath with just a coat or two of paint. Thirdly, paint a mural on one wall. This will add interest to an otherwise boring bath. Let the mural be the focus, and the limited size of the room may be easier to overlook. Fourthly, paint vertical stripes. If you can draw the eye toward the ceiling, the bathroom will seem taller, and thus larger. You can use crown molding as well, which will help draw the eye upward. Fifthly, paint opposite stone walls different shades of the same color. If you paint the smaller walls just a tad lighter, it will make a rectangular room seem larger. Sixthly, paint a faux finish. With a little texture comes a little depth. A simple faux finish can be created with just a sponge. First paint your bathroom your desired color. Then find a lighter or darker shade of the same color and put that shade in a paint tray. Lightly dip one long side of a large natural sponge into the paint and pat it all over your wall. Repeat this step until your entire walls are covered. (See Resources for more ideas and instructions on painting faux finishes.) Seventhly, add a stencil border. In general, stencil borders are better than wallpaper borders, because if you redecorate later, a painted border can be painted over with far less effort than it requires to take down wallpaper, which is a tedious task. Also, stencil borders won't peel from the moisture that is common in bathrooms. To make the room look taller, paint the border at the top of your wall, below the ceiling. Finally, let me have a short conclusion.
