One of my 'biggest' interior design challenges in my own home, is my very small bathroom - without a window! It always felt dark and dingy to me - even with a brand new white bathroom suite. For a while I mistakenly tried dark colors - to add some dramatic style - no good! Surely then, all over white would work? But no, it ended up far too cold and clinical. I still didn't want to spend any time in there.

In the end, I decided to decorate with a very pale green, beautiful and soothing. The paint comes in a special light reflective finish - which bounces all the available light around the room. I added a large mirror, to enhance the effects, and make the most of the light reflections - and - success at last! I can now look forward to a long, leisurely bath.

* Paint the ceiling white, or lighter than the walls

* Have lots of light - and use uplighters, to highlight the light ceiling

* Keep home decor simple - limit patterns, and make sure any patterns you do use, aren't too fussy, or overwhelming

* Small patterns work best

* Streamline your furniture - and keep open spaces in mind when arranging furniture

* Stay as tidy and uncluttered as possible

* Consider a simple modern interior design style - traditional designs can sometimes seem fussy and cluttered in a small space.

* Match the scale of your furniture to the scale of your room - but take care not too choose dainty furniture with too much detail which may give a fussy and cluttered effect

* Wallpaper with vertical stripes can make low ceilings seem taller

* Any vertical lines in your room can work well in this way, such as vertical wood cladding.
