Nod to the Past: Eclectic Styling

Pink bathrooms were all the rage in the 50s, and it looks like designer Caitlin Murray is still digging the look! With a light pink vanity and accent wall, pin-up girl print and black-and-white tile floors, this bathroom definitely feels like a throwback, and we're not mad about it.

Nod to the Past: Midcentury Vanity

Designer Kristen Groves chose to play up the midcentury modern vibe in this bathroom. With clean walls, timely fixtures and an antique dresser-turned-vanity, this space makes an understated, yet stylish nod to the past.

Natural Textures: Calm + Serene

The light, natural hues in this space create a spa-like vibe throughout. Ushering in a calm atmosphere, the sand-colored backsplash over this double vanity helps the wall to visually recede and calls into sharper contrast the vanity's pretty wood.

From: Brooke Wagner

Natural Textures: Pop of Color

Concrete walls add unique textural flair to this space, while a teal tile floor brings a welcome pop of color. The finishing touch comes in the form of a wood vanity, creating a soothing master bath space.

Natural Textures: Intriguing Tones

Polished concrete floors and a wood paneled ceiling set the tone for an intriguing design in this master bathroom. Exposed plumbing adds an industrial vibe, while a freestanding tub and textured jute rug lend just a touch of classic charm.

Natural Textures: Matching Marble

Decked in cool tones and a variety of natural textures, designers Leanne and Steve Ford were certain to make the most of this small space. Positioning the marble sinks and luxe fixtures in the middle of the vanity enhanced the available space while creating a unique feature.

Butterflies and birds take flight in this bathroom, helping the small space feel full of interest and energy. The exposed plumbing adds an industrial flair to the otherwise ornate space.

Pattern Play: Greek Key

A Greek key patterned wallpaper fills every wall of this neutrally-driven space. The furniture-style vanity and the stone countertops tie the space together perfectly.

Pattern Play: Large Format Florals

Bountiful blooms on an oversized-scale fill this bathroom with swoon-worthy romance while gold details and dainty accessories accent the bold space seamlessly.

The lacy detail of the wallpaper pairs prettily with the master bathroom's mauve marble countertops and floor accents. It's also a lovely frame for the porthole window.

From: Austin Bean Design Studio

Bright + Bold: Striking Contrast

This bathroom features white shiplap wainscoting beneath a black wall and a black, ceiling-height subway tile backsplash. A simple wood vanity with quartz countertops and a raised trough sink add some simple charm to the otherwise modern space.

From: Pinnacle Estate Properties

Bright + Bold: Forest Foliage

Deep, moody green interiors are taking the design world by storm, and bathrooms are no exception. Consider a hue like hunter, olive, forest, jade or emerald for the walls, and balance its intensity with a light, natural wood vanity and jute accents. Finish the look with matte black fixtures and ceramics for a trend-setting space.

Bright + Bold: Crisp Color Palette

Black walls, white accents and a natural wood vanity create a clean looking bathroom with a slightly futuristic feel about it. Crisp angles, spare lighting, a floating vanity and a patterned floor all feel like they would be right at home in a space ship.

From: Andrea Swan

Bright + Bold: Dark Blue Room

In this bathroom, dark blue walls add dimension to the vanity, as well as bring out the gold hardware along the sink. The black-and-white wallpaper add interest to the blue-hued space, creating a look that's just begging to be copied.

From: Stefani Stein

Bright + Bold: Classically Modern

The space features dark paneling and a floating vanity to shift focus to the room's architectural interest rather than the space's lack of square footage.

From: Brian Patrick Flynn

Trendy Metals: Industrial Chic

Industrial copper plumbing steals the show in this white-and-blue shower. Notice how the white backsplash has a soft pattern to give the space a little energy, while pebble tile floors carry a coastal theme throughout.

From: Stefani Stein

Trendy Metals: Stark Fixtures

A matte black, rainwater faucet hangs from the ceiling, creating a spa-like atmosphere in this bath. The gooseneck faucet sits against the white tile, complimenting the other black features in the bathroom and lets the geometric-patterned floor shine.

From: Prairie

Trendy Metals: Copper Accents

A copper faucet adds a much-welcomed metallic touch to this two-toned bathroom. Notice how its brassy hue makes the turquoise tile seem especially bright and blue, while the old-world style faucet plays off the modern choice of tile perfectly.

From: Caitlin Murray

Trendy Metals: Bold Brass

Contemporary brass fixtures are perched on the walls of this bright white shower. Subways tiles deck the walls in various patterns, while the floor is composed of rhomboid cube mosaic tile, giving the simple space some flair.

From: Vernich Interiors

Global Minded: Pretty + Patterned

An arched shower door enhances this bathroom's Moroccan style; inside the tile backsplash fades from black to white, creating an intriguing ombre design.

From: Lindsey Runyon Design

Global Minded: Geometric Flooring

Geometric tile covers the floor in this beautiful bathroom, creating a globally-inspired space. Strong black-and-white patterns with splashes of color create a look that's sophisticated but not sterile.

Stylish marble tiles in gray and white make a dynamic statement for this bathroom shower. The brass fixtures help warm up the cool tones used throughout the shower stall.

From: Stephanie Hatten

From: Brian Patrick Flynn

From: Taylor Spellman

Simplicity: Gray Retreat

A palette of gray gets an organic touch from a wood vanity, mirror and a large houseplant. The gray ladder is a simple and pretty way to store and display towels while making a stylish statement.

From: Chas Everitt International Property Group

Simplicity: Enclosed in Glass

The calming tones of this bathroom create the perfect place to get a little R&R at the end of a long day. A floating vanity keeps extra towels and other essentials on hand, while the glass-enclosed shower and built-in bench creates an at-home spa atmosphere.

From: Immobilsarda

Terrazzo: Covered in Speckles

This bathroom takes the terrazzo trend to new heights by incorporating Dzek's Marmoreal, a large aggregate terrazzo designed by Max Lamb, as the vanity, sink and shower. Matte black fixtures against the light terrazzo add contrast and sophistication.

Terrazzo: Blushing Bathroom

There's a wide variety of options for the color and size of the flecks of terrazzo, which means terrazzo can be subtle or it can be quite bold. This space incorporates speckled pink terrazzo, creating a stunning and completely unqiue look.

Repurposed Details: Converted Vanity

This mahogany serving table was a dining room piece in its first life. By adding a marble top and chrome fixtures, this piece seamlessly becomes part of this bathroom.

Repurposed Details: Intriguing Industrial

A sturdy antique iron machine base contrasts with the bright, airy vibe in this bathroom for an unexpected, unique look.

From: Antonio Martins

Repurposed Details: Washup on Wheels

The bicycle-turned-vanity is a showstopping feature in this home. The wooden countertop and simple white sink modernize the upcycled look, making it a pretty and practical addition.

Repurposed Details: Upcycled Dresser

A midcentury modern dresser found at an auction was upcycled to create the master bathroom's vanity with fully operable drawers, wood top with a clear stain and alabaster white-painted base.
