So long, colour drenching - colour capping is a simple paint trick that will make a small bathroom feel bigger

Bathroom colour capping.

We've all heard of colour drenching, but there's a new paint trend on the block, and it's perfect for small bathroom ideas. Colour capping is a slightly more subtle version of the statement colour trend, and it's perfect for making small spaces look larger and ceilings taller.

Small bathrooms are notoriously difficult to decorate. A practical space, such as a bathroom, must feel sanitary and include easy-to-clean surfaces, but it shouldn't be void of personality. Paint is the easiest and most affordable way of injecting character into a compact room, and this trend of graduating the colour to the top of the room creates a tonal look that is light-enhancing and effortlessly stylish.
