Get a wider sink that is not very deep. This will help in bringing a balance in narrow space. You will easily get toilets that just take 25 inches from the front to the back. Instead of a big Jacuzzi or soaking tub, go for a smaller yet elegantly designed tub. For a white tub, you can get green tiles that will give a fresher look to your bathroom.
