You'll be shocked at how much more spacious the room appears. Stick to lighter colors on the walls, and diminish clutter in the room. This simple change can make your room seem larger.

If you are working in a bathroom, do not forget to add in either a window or some form of ventilation. If your bathroom does not have ventilation it will quickly become a haven for bacteria and mold.
