Bathroom Style Ideas

Clean and simple, a white bath is one of the most popular style choices. Make the look more modern by choosing gray instead of black as an accent color. Choose geometric shapes like a rectangular floating vanity and oval soaking tub, or singular slabs of marble or oversized tiles on the walls and floors for a sleek seamless look. This creates a blank canvas for contemporary touches like live green plants and angular metal furniture.

Keep the best of the mid century look and update the rest. Iconic tile colors like blue, green, orange or even pink find new life when installed in herringbone and other geometric shapes. Elevate an architectural-inspired wood bathroom vanity with sleek hardware in matte gold or copper tones. Top with frill-free circular mirrors to balance the look.

At its heart, a Southwestern look reflects the simplicity of a desert oasis. Start with natural woodsy tones with a double vanity in a rich, natural finish. Mix together an abundance of refreshing minty green, warm grays and burnished metals chocolate hues.
Add textures and geometric patterns that convey a handwoven look. Finish the mood with soft, diffused lighting and a cactus or two for a relaxing atmosphere.

Not your usual choice for a bath, black brings new depth and interest. Black can make small spaces more dramatic and larger ones feel cozier when used on the walls and ceiling. Match the color of fixtures like toilets and vanities with your wall color to make small spaces feel bigger. Accent the look with one or two fixtures in sharp edges and strong shapes. Be generous with lighting.

Everything about farmhouse styles say lived in and relaxed. Start with traditional shiplap in a creamy white. Or get the same feel with washable wallpaper. Try substantial yet simple cabinetry painted in laidback colors like blue or dark green. Add matte platinum or black faucets and mirrors in antique shapes. Plus, there’s always room for natural baskets and rustic bins that hold everything from towels to toiletries.

Fresh and bright are essentials for a coastal look. Coastal takes the elements of sun, wind and water and translates it into airy, breathable spaces. Set the tone with bright whites for the vanity, walls and mirror frames. Ground the look with sandy hued flooring and textured rugs. Give a nod to reflections off the water with sparkling silver fixtures and decor.

Mediterranean style is all about bold sun-drenched colors like reds, oranges or sea shades like turquoise. The look is known for intricate patterns and strong architectural details such as arches and curves. For a contemporary take on Mediterranean, keep things simple. Make one wall the star with blue and white tile in a regional motif. Use weathered Terracotta tile on the floor and store stacks of thin but thirsty Turkish towels on an open shelf.

Create a zen moment with your own private spa. Keep things calm with curving lines and clutter-free spaces. White always creates a tranquil space, but also consider neutrals like creams and beiges. Upgrade your bath accessories by choosing less pieces in finer finishes such as glass and stones like onyx. Add texture with extra plush towels, mats and minimal decor. Install a soaking tub that lets you fully immerse and relax.

Transform your bath into a dramatic yet serene cabin-inspired retreat. The minimalistic look is created by balancing no-frills functionality with plenty of earthy elements. Wood takes the lead in this look with vanities in a natural wood finish. Choose a wall color that brings to mind a forest of majestic pines. Keep the rest of the room simple with glossy ceramic fixtures, plenty of muted lighting and rustic textures such as baskets and rugs.

Bring all the best bath traditions together in one place. Enduring classics like beadboard and vinyl flooring never go out of style. The new traditional look features more compact, water-saving toilets and sleeker vanities with plenty of storage. Give the look a refresh with touches like an oversized floral washable wallpaper and updated Victorian-inspired lighting and mirrors.

A vintage bathroom style can be both cozy and sophisticated. The secret is choosing just a few favorite pieces and elements. It’s the details that count. This "less is more" approach features a vintage-style tub with updated black hardware and faucets. The cabriolet legs on the double vanity shine with just a stroke or two of gold trim. Exchange the usual abundance of florals for live succulents and simple fabrics.
