60 Creative Bathroom Ideas That You'll Love

When it comes to designing a bathroom that you'll love — whether it's a chic black bathroom or a bathroom that you want to be like a wellness retreat — there are a few key aspects that you should keep in mind. "When planning a bathroom, always start with the layout," Yousef Mansuri, Head of Design at C.P. Hart, told Home & Gardens. Mansuri went on to explain that "[o]nce you have your layout and therefore measurements, the exciting part starts — you can create your mood boards and choose your products."

Of course, there are other aspects you'll want to consider, per Homes & Gardens, such as your shower and bathtub as well as the room's lighting and flooring. That's not to mention storage space, towel racks, and heating. Granted, those aren't the only things you'll need to choose during the process of planning your ideal bathroom. In fact, we have plenty of other potential features that will certainly intrigue you and creative bathroom ideas that you'll definitely love!

Skylights are a fabulous way to let more light into pretty much any room in your home including your bathroom. It's also a way to give you a gorgeous view from the tub without sacrificing privacy — that is, unless you live beside a large building or a lot of low-flying planes go by.

Gorgeous wood is always a fantastic addition to a bathroom — as long as it's a wood that can handle splashes, dampness, and humidity. While there are plenty of ways that you could add wood accents, try putting up angled wood slats that form a stunning pattern.

Using glossy tiles on your bathroom walls is a fabulous way to make the space shine. Stick with one color of gleaming tile or mix it up with two or more for an added creative effect that you'll surely love.

Your shower isn't the only place that can benefit from a plant, the same goes for your bathtub. While it's not a great idea to keep it in the basin where the water will be, a plant would look amazing on the corner ledge of the tub.

The mirror that you choose for your bathroom is just as important as the lighting. Of course, you can — by opting for a mirror that has a light incorporated into its design — nail both aspects at once. Many also feature smart tech capabilities that you'll definitely appreciate.

Most bathtubs tend to be white or an off-white shade that certainly doesn't stray far from the norm. However, bathtubs actually come in a wide range of colors and finishes that can add a unique aspect to your bathroom.

Most bathrooms have mirrors above the sink which makes sense. However, you can put mirrors up around the room to create a delightfully stylish effect that can make the space look bigger. The mirrors can either fill each wall or simply be a strip at an attractive height.

It's hard to imagine an eye-catching bathroom that simply has boring tiles. Fortunately, you can choose tiles that are bold, beautiful, and like little pieces of art. Consider tiles with pretty patterns and intricate designs that will truly set the look of your bathroom apart in the best kind of way.

Macramé can be used in various spots around your home. For instance, you can hang a macramé item in your bathroom that's either a simple piece that's meant to hold a plant by a window or a larger piece that's simply decorative.

There are a few ways that panels can be used on your bathroom walls in creative ways. That includes opting for panels in one or two striking colors. If done carefully, they can be installed in a way that works with the shape and features of each wall.

Add another creative touch to your bathroom that also has a natural vibe by opting for a stone sink. Either purchase one that's been pre-carved or choose one that's been cast to the exact size and shape that you want.

There are plenty of interesting ways to add a wide and wonderful range of artistic accents to your bathroom. That includes incorporating unique pieces into your design that can be placed, hung, or installed in various places.

When you design, renovate, or simply refresh a bathroom, you certainly want your windows to provide you with light and privacy. Putting a window in a higher spot will likely provide you with just that as well as add another visually intriguing touch to the space.

If you adore the idea of floor-to-ceiling windows, then you might want to take it a step further. Install glass doors so that you can fully open your bathroom to the exterior — that is, if your bathroom is on the ground floor or has a balcony.

Use different and even contrasting surfaces in your bathroom to create an eye-catching detail. For instance, pair a rough wall with a smooth wall and the result will be a dynamic design element that you'll likley love.

One of the best ways to make a creative statement in your bathroom is to set up a stunning vanity area that includes the counter space, sink, mirror, and perhaps even towel racks. For a striking style, consider a modern — even tech-filled — vanity that offers you the newest materials, installation methods, and accents.

While an enclosed shower can be opened up, you can also do the opposite and enclose your bathtub which is usually more open. By putting up walls, you can create a sauna-like space when you have the hot water running in the same way you might enjoy a steam shower.

Interior windows may not be something you would have ever thought about without a prompt, however, they're definitely something that you might want to consider. That's because, along with being rather unusual and totally creative, it can also let light into a room that doesn't have an outer window while also making your space look bigger.

Using marble tiles or countertops can make your bathroom look both elegant and luxurious. To use the stunning stone in a creative way, you can use multiple kinds and mix up your marble.

A sauna will certainly make your bathroom feel like it's somewhere to step away from the world and truly relax. You can also add other touches that lend to that same feeling — such as warm, wooden floors and soft lighting  — to create a tranquil spa-like vibe.

Vaulted ceilings may seem like the kind of design accent that only tends to appear in larger homes. However, adding a modern vaulted ceiling — with thinner yet boldly defined lines and accentuating lighting — can create a fabulous visual aspect to pretty much any bathroom.

Simple lines don't have to be boring! When kept clean and used in an almost puzzle-like — dare we say Tetris-like — way, the lines of your counter, sink, mirror, shower walls, door, and tiles can all come together to create a wonderful creative effect in your bathroom.

Most lighting is installed above our heads. However, it can also be placed lower on walls as well as under elevated elements such as below a bathtub or shower in order to make the space glow in a fabulously unexpected way.

There are certainly benefits to having two separate sinks in your bathroom and the same can be said for having your very own vanity space. If you have room for two, consider setting them up across from each other for a dynamic twinning effect.

Use an almost artistic design to let plenty of light into your bathroom by installing windows that are of different shapes and sizes. You can also keep some glass clear and opt for stained glass or frosted glass for the other panes to add another interesting element to your windows.

If you have an exposed brick wall in your bathroom, then you could leave it as it is, clean it up, or even paint it. If you don't have a brick wall, then you can add a faux one by using wallpaper or tiles that are made to look like brick.

Bathrooms naturally lend themselves to nautical, lake-like, and beach-inspired designs. That's why fishtail and mermaid tiles can be such a perfect choice for a fantastically themed space.

Pair mosaic tiles and natural wood with bamboo baskets and a plant or two to capture a boho-chic vibe. Add locally handmade soaps and embroidered towels to finish off the style to trendy perfection.

Vintage fireplaces often boast gorgeous carved and inlaid details which will make one a stunning addition to your space. If a real fireplace won't work in your bathroom, then you can still get the same look with a faux fireplace or simply an attractive fireplace mantel.

Just like brick, concrete wasn't always something that was meant to be seen inside of a home. Yet these days, cool polished concrete can be a stunning addition to your interior and a creative way to add a surprisingly calming element to your bathroom that can even look like marble if done right.
