Contemporary

Style shifting contemporary interiors adapt with the times, bringing in trends without bombarding a space in fads. Start with a neutral, minimal color palette and streamlined profiles, then layer in a punch of bold color and a graphic pattern. In this bathroom, a squared-off vanity and tile designs are highlighted by brushed brass fixtures, and the entire space is grounded in geometric hexagons.

Art Deco

Streamlined and glamorous, Art Deco style roared into fashion in the 1920s. Known for decadence and its step away from traditional, the design leans into simple geometric forms, over-the-top patterns and luxurious materials. Bring the look into your bathroom with a fair amount of metallics, as well as streamlined architectural shapes. And, of course, don't forget the pattern — either through opulent marble or chic wallpaper.

Cottage

Oh-so cozy, cottage design is full of charming character. Pretty patterns, a soft color palette, weathered and painted finishes and a touch of vintage define this collected-over-time look.
