This is my bathroom. It's like a corridor into a smallish bathroom. The blind is new and i'm having a grey board floor in next week but what could i do with the left hand "corridor wall" to make it well less corridory.

Wall not walk sorry. Mirrors no good as a bathroom, maybe a stencil or...,?

You can buy an Anti Fog Mirror although I think they may be expensive. I would do something about your Lino, some sort of pattern on the floor may lift the space it doesn't have to be too mad, it might incorporate the two spaces better. You could also put a Coat Hanger Rail up, instead of hanging your Dressing Gown on the Door. The room also looks very beige, the colours that are going to be in vogue in 2022 or Corals, Pinks Deep Greens and Dark Blues, if you fancy getting the paint testers out.

It's a dark room though. Definitely painting!

Don't do anything, just paint it white. Then do something very eye catching in the more roomy bit. Bright towels, a mural, a big plant on the windowsill, a strong colour on the end wall. It'll draw your eye away to the broader space at the end.

Look at how the two lines of skirting board give a corridor effect.
Eradicate all contrast by painting the skirting beige/ any low contrast. Bright pops to draw the eye forward.
Not grey blind but colour pop.

Is that an airing cupboard or just storage on the right? Taking off the door might help (if it's nice inside, your towels co-ordinate and you can make a feature of it?)

We’ve got a bit of a corridor like that leading to a bedroom. I’ve been wondering about maybe a fake flower/leaves wall or a mural of some kind.

I'd put some tongue and groove panelling on lower half of the wall, to draw the eye up rather than 'along' the corridor. Then I'd put a huge mirror on the top half of the wall, as big as you can. If you've got a decent fan in there it won't matter that you've got a mirror in a bathroom, the fogginess will clear pretty quickly. We replaced our bathroom's bog standard builders grade extractor fan with an inline fan when we moved into our current house and for a relatively cheap fix it made an amazing difference.

Some great ideas, sometimes can't see the obvious (and not so obvious) in own home.
