A Dramatic Color Palette

Pewter green may not be the first color you think to paint your bathroom, but it creates a dramatic, inviting look when paired with gold accents and one-of-a-kind patterns. This small powder room looks larger because of the dramatic accents like the gold mirror, dark color palette, and toile wallpaper accent behind the sconce.

Stylish Ladder Storage

A stylish ladder is a great place to hang towels, especially if you don't have any storage space in your bathroom. The ladder takes up minimal space, and it enhances the design aesthetic of the bathroom.

An Area Rug for Warmth

Nothing adds warmth, comfort, and style like a large area rug. If your primary bathroom suite has the room for it, a large area rug will not only anchor the space but also will add warmth underfoot.

You can even try rug layering with a pretty bath mat (just be sure not to leave it layered while it's wet).

A Makeshift Dressing Area

Vintage Light Fixtures

This high-end bathroom design gets a vintage makeover with a candelabra chandelier above the bathtub and a matching sconce by the double vanity. Extra touches like an ornate rug and small wood stool add to the vintage look.

Laundry Room Curtains

To separate the laundry area from the bathroom, a coppery velvet curtain conceals the washer and dryer while bringing texture to this space. The gold color perfectly complements the green shower tiles and black frame glass shower.

Matching Window and Shower Curtains

This bathroom design by Morse Design proves that mixing patterns can be done stylishly. The star pattern on the curtains and wallpaper pairs well with the checkered tile flooring. The secret to mixing patterns is to choose patterns in the same color palette, so they blend seamlessly.

Nature-Inspired Accents

When a bathroom has all hard surfaces, adding natural materials will help soften the space. This bathroom features a sisal rug, a wood dish, and cotton towels that bring a warm touch while still allowing the marble flooring and walls to shine.

Wood Wall Paneling

For a true spa-like feel, consider adding wood wall paneling as an accent wall behind your bathtub. It adds a clean aesthetic, and woods like cedar work well in bathrooms where there is moisture.

Multipurpose Open Shelving

Open wood shelving is an easy and budget-friendly addition to a bathroom. It serves multiple purposes as extra storage space and a stunning design element that keeps things at hand when enjoying a bubble bath.

Dramatic Bathtub Nook

Large Ornate Mirror

When you have a narrow bathroom with no windows, the space can easily feel closed in and dark. To help open up the space, LAVA Interiors added a mirror to each wall including a large, ornate mirror that adds style while making the space instantly feel more open.

A Sweet Color Palette

A bright and cheerful color palette can completely transform a space, like in this bathroom design by Mindy Gayer Design where the vanity was painted in a refreshing pink shade. A gold ornate mirror is an easy way to add texture and allow the pink color to pop even more.

A Tropical-Style Bathroom

A bathroom is a great room to play with design and color. This bathroom was once plain, but a few simple updates transformed it into a tropical oasis. Some paint and bamboo reed fencing are a couple updates that were easy to DIY and are budget-friendly, too.

A Variety of Textures

This bathroom design by Chelius House of Design features many textures from the wicker bathtub chandelier to the black metal frame floor length mirror. Bringing in a variety of textures is simple with small additions like these. Also, adding a soft rug underfoot will anchor the space.

Complementary Decor

If your bathroom already features beautiful tile work and coloring, you can elevate the look by incorporating decor with the same coloring. The color in the marble veining of the shower tiles is carried through to the large charcoal gray pot that's filled with pampas grass for added height and texture.

A Playful Custom Wallpaper Design

What better way to display your favorite Insta moments than custom wallpaper? The custom Instagram photo wallpaper in this small powder room is unexpected and playful. Plus, looking at all the photos will give you something to do while in the loo.

A Nontraditional Vanity

Think outside the box when it comes to choosing a vanity. This bathroom features a small, colorful dresser transformed into a vanity. It brings an eclectic look and ties the whole look of the bathroom together.

An Easy Transformation

Martina's bathroom was bare and didn't reflect her design style, but she was able to transform it all on a budget. The houseplants paired with a variety of art prints bring personality and color to the space. She added a curved mirror that also features a shelf and hooks for extra storage.

Flower Wall Detail

Even though the flower detail on this bathtub wall looks expensive and difficult to do, these plaster flowers are actually a fairly budget-friendly upgrade that completely transforms the bathroom. The flower design draws the eye up to help the space feel larger, and the monochromatic color scheme gives the bathroom a high-end look.

Wallpaper Accent Wall

Applying wallpaper is a big task to take on, but it's a great way to add pattern and color to your bathroom without taking up space. Add wallpaper to an accent wall like by the bathtub to make it an easier and quicker DIY upgrade.

A Simple Black-and-White Design

Without all the small touches, this black and white bathroom would feel bare and cold. But the addition of a floating shelf for displaying greenery and framed prints, a basket to store toilet paper, and a bronze sconce add warmth while still staying true to the black and white theme.

An Antique Dresser

Bring the unexpected into your bathroom to help make the space fit seamlessly into the rest of your home. An antique dresser, ornate mirrors, and dried hydrangeas add a welcoming feel that will have you wanting to spend hours taking a bath.

Contrasting Colors

The contrast between the robin's egg blue vanity and the black fixtures and hardware creates a stunning design in this mostly white bathroom. The open shelving on the opposite wall features a wallpaper accent that pulls all the colors together.

A Combination of Contemporary and Nautical Styles

This bathroom design by K Shan Design perfectly blends contemporary with nautical style. The clean lines and modern, neutral color palette bring an updated look while having subtle nods to nautical style. The round rope mirror and metal cage sconce add a more relaxed, coastal feel.

Subtle Patterned Tile

If you're upgrading your bathroom tile and want to play with some pattern and color, going with a subtle pattern in a calming color can add interest while making the room still feel open and airy. Here, Mel Bean Interiors chose the same patterned tile for the wall and flooring to make the bathroom feel larger.

Striped and Scalloped Details

The bold yellow and white striped wall in this bathroom adds a traditional look, but the gray scalloped mirror brings a contemporary feel to help balance out the space. If you want to incorporate two different design styles, you can seamlessly do so by adding small doses of each in complementary colors.

A Combination of Materials

Adding natural elements to a space through small accents can soften up hard surfaces in a bathroom. In this bathroom, natural materials like the wood stool, pampas grass, and the earthy tones in the painting soften the look of the glass shower and black metal ladder storage.

A Favorite Art Print

If one of your favorite pastimes is to soak in a bathtub, the bathtub area in your home should be your sanctuary featuring your favorite colors and items. In this bathtub area, Isa added her favorite art print to create a place in her home that she can call her own.

Open Shelving for a Guest Bathroom

To help refresh your guest bathroom, add open shelving or a vanity with open shelving for a place to add all the necessities. This will help guests find the items they need while keeping the bathroom tidy.

Little Details

This bathroom design features so many small details that all come together beautifully. From the amber glass jars to the blue towel rack wall and gold frame painting. These small yet impactful details make the bathroom feel like any other room in the house.

Sleek Stainless Steel Vanity

A big, bulky vanity isn't a great option for a narrow bathroom, but you can still get the benefits of one with a sleeker design. This modern, stainless steel vanity provides the same amount of storage and countertop space as a traditional vanity without making the room feel cluttered.

Dark Farmhouse Style

Farmhouse style meets a dark and moody aesthetic in this bathroom design. To create a similar look, incorporate natural materials and farmhouse details like the wood vanity and matte black farmhouse sink, and pair with moody colors like the hunter green wall and black decor.

Modern Storage Bins

Organization is key in creating an aesthetically pleasing bathroom design. Here, Margaret added colorful curved storage bins that are a juxtaposition to all the straight lines in the fixtures and furnishings. From the trough sink to the framed mirror and artwork.

Coastal Design With a Contemporary Twist

At first glance, this bathroom design has a contemporary, clean look, but the nautical details adds a coastal feel to the space. The round rope mirrors, ocean blue lighting, and contemporary blue wallpaper that resembles ocean waves take you away to your favorite vacation spot.

Beautiful Gold Details

Gold, metallic details can really elevate a bathroom design. Even though this bathroom has minimal details, the gold details give the space a high-end look— from the gold frame mirror that resembles the wallpaper pattern to the gold toiletry tray on the bottom shelf of the vanity.

Towel Hanging Wall

The perfect bathroom design is one that is both functional and eye-catching. In this bathroom, designer Marie Flanigan added a visually impactful towel hanging wall. The brass pegs contrast beautifully with the black metal wall feature to create a stunning focal point in the bathroom.

Modern Farmhouse Accents

This modern farmhouse bathroom features the right balance of natural elements and modern touches. If this design style speaks to you, incorporate modern finishes like the black metal towel rack, faucet, a mirror with textured wood, and other organic materials.

A Functional Window Nook

To make the most of your small bathroom's layout, try to utilize every square inch of space. At first glance, you'd think this window nook is wasted space. However, a wood bench fits perfectly and is now a spot to store essentials or help you get ready in the mornings.

Gold, Handmade Tiles

You typically see subway tiles in white, but this bathroom design by Light and Dwell features stunning handmade subway tiles in gold. If you love the look of handmade tiles, you can add it to your bathroom design on a budget in small doses like a small backsplash. This is a fairly easy DIY project that will make a big impact.

Blue and White Theme

This all-white bathroom has plenty of natural light. To break up the white design and add warmth, designer Kate Marker added an area rug, blue accessories, and a standout tiered chandelier.

Wood Crate Decor

This bathroom features many intriguing elements, like the floating trough sinks and the branch curtain rod. However, the most eye-catching feature are the wooden crates with wheels. This portable storage option is functional and visually appealing. Plus, placing them vertically adds height and creates a place to display potted plants.

Matching Jute Mirrors

Arranging your bathroom in a symmetrical design allows every part of the room to have equal visual appeal. The matching jute framed mirrors and lamp shade sconces add a charming look to this bathroom, while the neutral color palette brings a refreshing look.

Colorful Wall Hanging

Sometimes all it takes to instantly upgrade your bathrooms look is a piece of fiber art. You may already have something in your home that would be the perfect addition to your bathroom, or you could take this as an opportunity to try a new craft.

This hoop yarn hanging livens up this neutral bathroom and a simple small rug incorporates all the colors for a cohesive look.

Lucky Bamboo Plant

If your bathroom doesn't have a ton of direct sunlight, you can still incorporate houseplants to help bring a spa-like feel to the space. A plant like lucky bamboo is easy to care for and adds a soothing aesthetic when paired with other simple decor items.

Add a Statement Rug

If you have a piece of art or an over-the-top decor item, like the rug in the space above, consider placing it in your bathroom for an unexpected touch. You can then work around the piece to decorate the rest of the space by incorporating the same colors and design style.

Boho-Style Bathroom

If you collect items while traveling, the bathroom is a great place to display your favorite worldly finds. Add a few items to your vanity and choose a soothing color palette as the backdrop.

Frame the Window

If your bathroom features a uniquely-shaped window, it's a great idea to highlight it. A black frame around this oval window adds a dark, dramatic touch to this traditional-style bathroom.

Bronze Accents

Sometimes simply updating the hardware can instantly give your bathroom a refreshed, modern look. The bronze faucet and mirror add an elegant look, while a painted wicker basket holding hand soap adds a laidback feel.

Nautical-Themed Elegance

A navy blue shiplap wall, paired with a wicker basket soap holder, adds a nautical look to this small powder room. Gold accents elevate the look and bring a touch of elegance.
