4. Improve Lighting to Make the Space Feel Larger and Cleaner
Lighting has a disproportionate effect in small toilet rooms. Poor lighting exaggerates shadows, emphasizes tight corners, and makes the space feel uncomfortable.
If the room relies on a single overhead fixture, consider upgrading it to something with better light quality. Warm, diffused lighting feels more welcoming than harsh white light. If possible, install a dimmer for flexibility.
Adding wall-mounted lighting near the mirror (if present) improves functionality and visual balance. Even replacing bulbs with warmer, higher-quality options can make a noticeable difference.

Good lighting makes a small toilet feel cleaner, brighter, and more spacious.
