For contemporary style, don't overload your bathroom in patterns, trimmings and colors — leave that to the maximalists. Instead, lean into tone-on-tone texture, which delivers visual interest without overwhelming the senses. In this sleek powder room, charcoal-gray tiles, laid in a herringbone pattern, create a chic background for the floating stone basin sink and wall-mounted fixtures.

Start your design with a blank slate and a hallmark of contemporary style: clean, white walls. Built in 1900, this bathroom throws back to its Victorian history with black-and-white hex tile floors. The sleek freestanding bathtub is a modern take on the traditional clawfoot, and a floating oak vanity is bedecked in brass fixtures and hardware.

This popular take on bathroom design is created so that the whole room can get wet. With today's love of freestanding bathtubs and open showers, it's easy for water to stray from its designated spot — making a completely tiled floor and walls essential.
