Paint Expands and Enhances a Small Bathroom!

By
Home Stager with North Fork Home Staged to Sell

Buyers need to remember a space, white boring small bathrooms are not the answer.  Color can make a room pop!  I had to do something in this forgettable guest bathroom that is very small and was painted white with no real design.  I taped off horizontal stripes and painted every other one green.  I added some inexpensive frames with free clip art printed out on card stock.  A few candles, white and green fluffy towels and the result was a fresh bathroom room, made to look a bit larger and definitely more memorable.

This is a fantastic looking bathroom! I love the stripes. I bet it doesn't seem as small anymore!

Cindy - You really jazzed up what would otherwise be a boring, forgettable bathroom.  Hey, that's a good idea to create artwork by printing off free clip art - the images you chose are perfect.

There are some really inexpensive picture frames out there and I love your idea of using printed clipart in them.  I imagine a grouping like yours could be done for just a few dollars!  Thanks for sharing, Cindy.

Cindy, Bathrooms can be the jewels of a home. I think buyers will accept colour in  bathroom where they might no in a larger room.

Cindy, I LOVE it!  You have just inspired me.  Now I want to paint my own bathroom like that.  We had a small bathroom in my own house that I painted because there wasn't much room to do a whole lot of anything else.  I did a blog on it too.
