Small Toilet, Big Potential: How to Transform the Most-Used Room in the House

When it comes to decorating, the downstairs toilet often gets overlooked. Most homes boast a luxurious main bathroom that rarely sees any use, while the humble downstairs loo is the one guests and family use daily. So why not give this little room the attention it deserves?

At Barrett Castle Lighting, we believe every corner of your home should reflect your style—and we’ve got some clever, cost-effective ideas to help you turn your boxy toilet into a space you’ll be proud to show off.

1. Let There Be (Smart) Light

Flush lights are a game changer for small spaces. They save headroom and, when you opt for styles with a mirrored base, they also bounce light around the room, creating the illusion of more space. It’s a simple swap that makes a big impact.

Check out these flush lights ranging from £38 - £103, with many more options available in our lighting showroom which is located in Omagh, Co. Tyrone.

LED 18W Cool White Ceiling or Wall Light only £38.00

Dimmable 30W LED Slim Line Square Light only £58.00

Crystal Effect Flush Acrylic Medium LED Ceiling Light only £97.00

Modern Flush Faceted LED Ceiling Light with Crystal Effect only £103.00

2. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...

An LED mirror isn’t just practical—it’s a bold design statement. Sleek, stylish, and space-enhancing, these mirrors add a modern touch while making the room feel bigger and brighter. Already have a mirror you love? No problem! Ask us in-store about LED strip lighting. It’s a brilliant way to update your existing mirror and create a whole new look.  Wall lights or bar lights also a nice feature to complement a mirror.

So if you’re looking for a quick summer project, why not start with the most-used room in the house? Pop into Barrett Castle Lighting today and let us help you create a downstairs toilet that’s stylish, welcoming, and worthy of a second look.
