First, start out by changing the floors of the bathroom to something more resistant to moisture, such as ceramic tile. Then work with the walls of the room. Instead of painting them with bright colors, stick to neutral colors, such as white or beige. This will make the area look more fresh. Look at the fixtures that are taking up the space in the bathroom.
The bathtub takes up a lot of room, so replace it with a shower stall with glass doors to portray open space. If your really want a bathtub, remove the rectangular shape tub that is mounted onto the wall, and replace it with a stand alone bathtub. This will already have a water fixture attached to the tub, and you are able to choose the style and the size of it, so it will definitely suite the space in the bathroom. If you have a large vanity cabinet with a counter for the sink, replace it to something smaller but gives you the same function. Choose a pedestal with bowl or square shaped sink. Instead of a cabinet, switch to vanity cupboards mounted against the wall. For a more modern look, place a wall hanging vanity counter top drawer. This will take less room and create an open space, because the cabinet does not go all the way down the floor. You can mount a vessel sink on top of the counter.
Consider having recessed lighting in the bathroom and add sconces above the sink, to brighten the room. Decorate the room with a large mirror, to create an illusion of a bigger space. Accent it with a large artistic painting. Small bathrooms needs to have a lot of open spaces to make the room bigger, so make sure you get rid of any clutters that will make your bathroom crowded.
