There is nothing about the nature of a modestly-sized room that means it has to feel gloomy and stuffy. Let some light in! For example, losing those curtains and going with blinds will work. Simply cleaning the windows will also work. If you make the most of natural lighting, any room will seem bigger. Also, use light colors on the walls and keep the clutter to a minimum. Follow these steps and your little room will seem much bigger.
If you are remodeling your tile floors, think about using radiant heat tiles. Those tiles use your electricity and can create a huge change! There are luckily some easy ways to do it yourself. Whether you hire someone, or do it by yourself, you can make this project an extra one. The first time you enter your bathroom on a cold winter's morning, you'll be glad of it!

You also want to be sure that they carry adequate insurance so that you are not at risk of a huge loss if they happen to cause damage to your home.
