In this spacious bathroom from interior designer Maite Granda, the ledge created by the hidden plumbing behind the toilet creates a display for art, plants, flowers, or decorative items. In this luxurious high rise bathroom from Ginger Barber Interior Design, floor-to-ceiling windows provide a wide open view and a natural focal point. But a large-scale piece of art on the adjacent wall gives the eye another place to rest that adds color and vibrancy to the contemporary, neutral-toned space. In this spacious primary bathroom from Lisa Gilmore Design, a dedicated vanity wall includes a wood vanity with plenty of storage, a comfortable chair, a pretty gold mirror, and vintage lighting. Installing good lighting is an important part of any room design, but bathroom lighting can often be harsh and unflattering in the room where you least want it to be.

TRADITIONAL

We’ve seen it recently enter the kitchen, and now it’s heading to the bathroom too. Checkerboard flooring brings with it relaxed vibes, instantly whisking you to a small Italian deli or chic European café, speaking of holidays, dappled sunlight and days spent reclining. Now its iconic black and white checks are getting a modern overhaul, as the high contrast monochrome tones are swapped for shades more on the soothing side of things. Bathroom ideas have recently ascended, as the room itself has take on an indulgent, lifestyle-based role in the house. Gone is the focus on speed, efficiency and practicality, as design traits from elsewhere in the house step in – beauty, opulence, architecture and extravagance.

Mindy Gayer Design Co. added a built-in ledge that houses plumbing for the large soaking tub. But this practical design decision also provides a styling opportunity for displaying decor and accessories—not to mention a place to rest a wine glass. Designed by Nicole Hirsch Interiors, this bathroom features well-placed brass fixtures and hardware that give the setup a crisp and contemporary feel.
