3.) 5 incredible small bathroom transformations

At the end of a long, hard day, we all simply want to spend some time in the bathroom to wash ourselves of the day's debris. Now, imagine you get to your bathroom after just such an exhausting day and start to carefully remove your makeup, when you turn the shower faucets to start your soothing cleansing process. It seems, however, that the taps aren't working quite right and you can't manage the temperature, the tiles below your feet are crumbling and unsightly, and you start to feel claustrophobic in the tiny space available to you. That doesn't sound very relaxing at all, does it?

If you want to enjoy this time, absolutely high standards of cleanliness and a bright bathroom is required, from the lighting to the material and color choice to be considered. If this is not the case in your bathroom, it does not mean that you have to put up with it! You can always go ahead and transform the entire space, regardless of its size. Therefore, we bring you a list of 5 incredible bathroom transformations, all of which were done in modest dimensions.  We are sure you'll not be disappointed, but in fact inspired by our selection.
