6 On-Trend Spaces To Inspire Your New Bathroom

Not sure where to start on your bathroom renovation?

Whether you’re designing a powder room, ensuite or kids bathroom, here are six on-trend bathrooms to spark inspiration.

Minimalist Retreat

This spare and unadorned bathroom is all about the quality of simple materials. With nary a tile or slab of marble in sight, this look relies on the texture of waxed-wood floors, simple white walls and bouclé drapes.

Art Deco Glamor

If The Great Gatsby is your favorite book and you can’t get enough of 1920s and ’30s style, then this modern take on Art Deco is for you. To get the look, focus on curvy shapes, rich colors, bold geometric patterns and pay attention to the details.

Decorated Drama

Start with an exuberant wallpaper in a favorite pattern, and then layer in elements such as a painted vanity with Shaker-style doors, marble counters and panelled wood storage.

Old World Tradition

The key to pulling off a handsome bathroom is to steal accents more typically seen in formal rooms in the house such as wood panelling, wallpaper, antique furniture and framed art.

Sleek Spa

In this principal ensuite, tone-on-tone wallpaper, gently rounded corners and a custom plaster floral installation indicate that the space is all about fine craftsmanship — and escaping it all.

Playful Victorian

A classic 1920s bathroom is catapulted forward 100 years with joyful accessories and a cactus-themed wallpaper that establishes a lively color scheme. Timeless subway tile and a ceramic console sink suit the home’s pedigree.
