Would a chair rail make a tiny bathroom look bigger?

Question

We have a small bathroom, and I am thinking about putting a chair rail (horizontally of course, in the middle area of wall, like normal ones) in the bathroom. Would this make it appear larger?

not a lot of room for a lot of mirrors.. yes its THAT small lol

Answer 1

I don't think so, sorry.
A chair rail is usually used in corridors and large rooms. If the bathroom is small using an element that divide the walls vertical or horizon can make the space visually smaller. Nevertheless I believe is a good decoration idea especially If you want to use different colors in the same wall.
In general when the space is small the walls shall be painted in clear colors and the ceiling white.

We just remodeled our house and installed a powder room (about 4x5 with just a toilet and pedestal sink). Because it's so small, we put in a wainscoting (3-foot high white beaded panel with a chair rail) and it gave the room a cool look. Because it's so small, the wainscoting gives it an old feel, so it detracts from the fact that the room is so small (you would expect small bathrooms in old houses).

I don't know that it makes the bathroom look bigger. But, it sure makes a small bathroom look better.

Answer 4

It will not make the room look bigger and can actually make the walls look shorter. Since the room is so small, it could give the room a "cluttered" feel with too much going on. I vote for keeping the walls straight lined and undisturbed.

Answer 5

Chair rail, no. Mirror, yes.
Small rect. bathroom should be door, basin, shower, bath.
WC, if included, should fit opposite basin.
