small space, big impact

i love the idea of using a small space like a bathroom or a closet to go all out with color and wallpaper that you might not dare try in a more prominent part of your home. here are a few of my favorite examples of bathrooms where this dramatic approach pays off:

one of my favorite designers experiments with a wild pink mirror and orange subway tile. the paisley shower curtain isn't quite my taste, but don't you love the color scheme?

happy wallpaper and cool art make this bathroom a sight to behold.

this bathroom is a prime example of risks with color paying off big-time. blue tile, black stone inlay, red/pink trimmed curtains, amazing white cabinetry, a little leopard print vanity chair... and somehow it just works.

big, bold, and blue. plus a mirrored vanity. i could make this work!
