Our bathrooms are a place where we should push the boundaries of imagination. They are our escape from the world, our private sanctuary. Bathrooms should be ceremonial spaces where we can rid ourselves of the day's toxins, both physically and emotionally. It can be tricky to push bathroom boundaries beyond what is practical: a bathtub, a vanity, the WC. However, a bathroom can be so much more than its facilities. This fabulous collection of 51 aesthetic bathroom designs is packed with bathroom decor ideas that thrill and amaze. Botanical interludes spark wonderment for the natural world, rock bathtubs and feature walls excite awe, and unique bathroom layouts bubble with intrigue.
Artistic elegance. Classic artwork mounted inside a quirky modern frame builds a fun juxtaposition for an eclectic bathroom design. A slipper bath silhouette with a modern matt grey finish straddles two eras of elegant style.
Textures and lighting. Take the en vogue slatted panel aesthetic into the bathroom with a textured bathtub design and highlight it with atmospheric mood lighting.
The stone slatted finish is taken up onto an attention-grabbing feature wall in this bathroom design. Skylight shutters and narrow wood plank flooring complement the linear detail.
Modern melts. This bespoke microcement bathtub and pedestal sink are designed to melt into the floor with smooth, invisible seams. A fluted glass privacy screen and a unique vanity mirror echo the curved edge aesthetic.
Another melded bathtub design, this hand-crafted tub appears to extrude right out of the smooth cement floor. An incredible rockface feature wall provides deep textural contrast.
Match the decor palette to the bathroom view. This desert home takes inspiration from a sand and rock panorama to form a cream and stone bathroom interior. The space is kept open and minimal, just like the outer environment.
Layers of love. If you adore gardening or are just wild Mother Nature herself, then why not add layers of plant love to your bathroom to suit your personality? Complement the lush greenery with rich, natural wood tone and cool stone grey.
Fresh air and blue skies inspire this fresh bathroom decor scheme. Pale blue stucco draws a cool curtain around a wall of mature cactuses. There is no window in this bathroom, only a skylight, but the sky blue walls and botanical decor create an outdoor feel.
A secret garden. Rugged grey stone walls, floors, and sanitaryware, plus a plethora of climbing plants makes for a spectacular indoor-outdoor blend that feels steeped in mystery, magic, and wonder.
Carve out platforms and stepping stones with linear slabs and pebbled borders. Add a concealed ribbon of LED light around the edge of the bathtub platform to further elevate the look.
Keep the eye moving. You can create the illusion of added space and depth in your bathroom with mixed wall textures and materials.
Make the most of private garden vistas. This fabulous luxury bathroom design is constructed to absorb the lush garden panorama through enormous dual aspect windows. Black window frames cause stark black contrast against the creamy bathroom decor palette to embolden the effect.
Piet Mondrian inspired spaces. Red, blue, and yellow accents placed within bold black outlines create an abstract bathroom design.
Add a central focal point with an abstract modern rug. In this unique bathroom layout, a solid black bathtub and a double sided vanity unit create individual sculptural elements around the remainder of the room.
Take a step up. If you are blessed with high ceilings in your bathroom, then take advantage of the added vertical space with a split level floor. A small staircase that’s highlighted by LED strip lights will make the ascent feel extra special.
Combine your shower area with a picturesque courtyard. A small tree or fast-growing bamboo will quickly fill the void. A crown of green leaves beneath a skylight will playfully filter sunshine to conjure a serene shower experience.
Double the courtyard effect with dual aspect bathroom windows. Contrast the light-filled void with dark bathroom decor to achieve dramatic contrast.
All-white under soft light. A matt white shower head against a white tiled wall and a white racetrack-shaped bathtub on a matching floor give this crisp bathroom design a peaceful aesthetic. LED light spills softly from a recessed shelf to accentuate smooth silhouettes.
Cherry blossom dreams. If bathing under pink blossom isn’t the stuff that dreams are made of, then we don’t know what is.
Make a watery bed for your bathroom with a beautiful reflection pond. Stepping stones provide a dainty bridge to bathtime.
Give an existing modern bathroom new flavour with a colourful boho rug and bright towels.
Settle in the sunbeams. All of the eye-catching detail in this bathroom design is set beneath a sunny skylight, including a unique stone bathtub and a majestic bonsai tree. An open shower area rains into the pebbled floor here too, where a rustic wooden stool awaits toiletries.
Grow an atmosphere of vitality with a densely planted vertical garden. Edge-to-edge, floor-to-ceiling planting will make your bathroom feature wall come alive–literally.
Team natural stone floors and stucco walls with the warmth of wicker to conjure a cool, nomadic vibe. The small bathroom vanity effectively creates a nook for the shower area.
Add class with glass. Large bathroom suites demand a luxury bathtub, and a chic glass design fits the bill. Team with a plush faux fur rug for a sumptuous feeling underfoot, and a modern fireplace to give the place a golden glow.
Printed tiles and wall murals. Bathroom wall murals come printed onto large format wall tiles nowadays, so why not fashion a fabulous floral feature wall that will never wilt.
Curate curious pieces. Each piece of this bathroom suite is a completely individual piece of design that should not complement the next, and yet, it all comes together as one fabulously artistic curation. Open your mind, select each of your favourite items, and trust in the process.
Sunken under the city, this bathtub allows the view to be the hero. Although, that perfectly polished concrete platform is pretty eye-catching too.
Cut above the rest with curves. An oversized round mirror, round bathroom lights, an on-trend racetrack-shaped bathtub, and an arch motif feature wall come together to achieve an elegant shape theme.
Another extraordinary curvaceous creation, which becomes doubled in full length mirrors.
Pink is a colour that communicates intimacy through its delicate tone, making it a wonderful hue for a bathroom. Use pink bathroom tiles to colour block one side of the room, whilst the rest of the room provides a subdued balance in light grey and fresh white.
If bolder colours are your preferred path, go all out with a crisply defined colour clash. This purple wall gains classic detailing in the form of square panel moulding, whilst the modern vanity is subtly slatted.
Even tiny bathrooms can be a whole vibe. Think texture, light, and a love of botanics.
Beautifully boho, all-natural materials make a bathroom feel inviting, comforting, and stress-free.
The bathing zone. Combine bathtubs and showers behind one screen for a streamlined bathroom layout.
A plethora of industrial pendant lights turn a modern bathroom into a starlit experience.
No time to care for a vertical garden? No problem. Botanical print wallcoverings are here to save the day.
Bathe under the forest canopy with an edge-to-edge skylight. Perimeter lights frame the view.
All about the architecture. Let the structure of your home be your guide.
A bathroom that’s barely there. A particularly good choice for an ensuite bathroom space, this minimalist shower installation and sunken bathtub blend into their courtyard background.
Build a grand entrance. Each wooden section of this unique bathroom floor is lit to create atmospheric reflection in the curvaceous bathtub design. Dark surroundings make a suitably dramatic backdrop.
Moroccan magic. A lambrequin arch and Moroccan style pendant lights conjure a striking space.
Say yes to yellow–not just in paintwork and tiles, but in coated fixtures and fittings too.
Monochrome and marble. Cut across a luxe white marble background with a contrasting black marble vanity unit and modern matt black wall-mounted bathroom faucets.
Double it. There are double sink vanity units, so why not double bathtubs? If you’ve got the space, you can have whatever your heart desires.
Rezone the room. It‘s easy to get stuck to the perimeter when it comes to creating a new bathroom layout, but partial partition walls are a complete game changer.
No room for an aesthetic courtyard? Just use the shower enclosure.
Space to unwind. Contemplate what you want around you when winding down for the day. Think more nature, and less complications.
Rustic relaxation. Wooden beams and candlelight, need we say more?
Golden romance. Satin gold bathroom fixtures, crisp white decor, chic pleated window dressings, and a tub-side floral display call for bubbles and romance.
Industrial minimalism. Utilitarian and unique, this minimalist space speaks of simplicity. Small moments of industrial-style intrigue keep the eye engaged.
