Modern Meets Vintage
With a statement rug, wallpaper and lighting, Hattie Collins of Hattie Sparks Interiors brings unexpected layers of texture and interest to a bathroom. The vintage wool rug elevates the space in a way a simple bath mat can’t.

Geometric Tiles
Uninterrupted from floor to wall, these playful geometric shower tiles help create the illusion of a larger bathroom. A transom window shows off the surrounding forest, while the thick shower wall is the perfect depth for displaying greenery — “a tangible way of bringing nature inside,” says designer Regan Baker.

Colorful Vanity
Add a hit of color in a white bathroom. The green vanity (painted in Benjamin Moore’s Dakota Shadow) and Moroccan rug add personality to this spacious primary bathroom, located in designer Heather Lucas’ 1920s home.

Warm Woods
Layer in organic textures, namely warm woods to create a spa-like retreat. Here, designer Ryann Swan adds off-center wood paneling around the tub to increase the zen feel.

A Mirror Over the Window
If you’re short on space, suspend a unique mirror in front of the window and ensure natural light can enter from behind. For a pop of pattern, designer Marian Louise also hangs cafe curtains.

Tile Accent Wall
Striking geometric tiles turn a wall behind the sink into a design moment. We love that interior designer Margarita Bravo weaves in gold accents with a modern vanity mirror, artistic sconce and wall-mounted faucet.

Nature-Inspired Hues
Embrace an earthy color palette — think sandy whites mixed with sage green, subtle pink and light gray. To tie the space together, Elle Du Monde brings in organic texture with warm wood furniture and wool rug.

Persian Rugs
Add rich color and warmth to your bathroom design with a patterned area rug, just as designer Raili Clasen does in this texture-filled bathroom. Embrace vintage reds, gorgeous greens or creamy neutrals — or a combination of all three.

Unexpected Lighting
Floor-to-Ceiling Tile
Balance dramatic floor-to-ceiling tile with a standout piece of wall art and a stylish pendant that won’t overwhelm the overall design scheme.

Pops of Personality
Don’t be afraid to infuse a bathroom with personal touches. Take note from designer Julia Chasman and install playful tiles in the shower and on the floor, then weave in last-minute touches like framed photos, floral curtains and a chic wicker basket.

Pattern Play
Chevron tile wall on one side, floral wallpaper on the other. This trendy bathroom, designed by Ginny Macdonald, is proof that two totally different patterns can complement each other when used correctly.
