Rub a Dub Dub, Make Plans for Your Tub

From small-but-mighty powder-room makeovers to splashy personal spas, Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott know a thing or 20 about how to plan unforgettable washrooms. (Think of them as the ultimate bath caddies.) With tips from the transformations we’ve assembled here, you’ll be ready to scrub up your own space in no time.

Add a Bonus Vanity to Your En Suite

The standouts in this sleek, monochromatic space are the streamlined steam shower and the sculptural soaking tub, but there’s even more to love. Jonathan and Drew mounted a mirror and floated a vanity below it on the wall adjacent to those showstopping features. Then they added a chic Scandinavian-style stool — the perfect spot to prep for a night out.

Go Glam With Matte Black and Opulent Tile

For a decidedly 21st-century take on Hollywood romance, look no further than the spectacular principal bath Drew shares with his wife, Linda Phan, renovated with serious TLC in Property Brothers at Home: Drew’s Honeymoon House. In lieu of glitzy mirrored surfaces and saturated tones, Drew opted for café au lait walls and brass-on-black cabinetry that frames the real stars of the show — that is, the gorgeous inlaid stone woven across the floor and climbing in arabesques up the walls of the shower.

Pull a Bedroom Accent Color Into the Bath

Drew and Linda’s Los Angeles home features a second en suite triumph in its guest room. This chic space features bold, floor-to-ceiling olive subway tile that expands on the green-patterned wallpaper in the bedroom beyond it. Bold zigzags on the floor create a cool contrast underfoot, while vessel sinks and brass hardware on the double vanity add eclectic elegance.

Add an Abstract Floral Pattern to the Powder Room

Jonathan and Drew swathed this space in painterly blooms to infuse it with color and movement. (Bonus points for the perfectly coordinated arrangement on the vanity.) They contrasted the floral wallpaper with striking color for the sink and cabinet hardware. The balanced effect feels both on-trend and timeless.

Soften a Contemporary Bath With Playful Art

The Scotts gave this stylish bath crisp, graphic tile, a sleek gray double vanity with rectangular mirrors, an oh-so-modern and minimalistic soaking tub … and a whimsical black-and-white photo that assures us no one is taking themselves too seriously in here.

Lean Into Greenery

A spacious steam shower is pretty great, but a spacious steam shower that doubles as your own personal rain forest is paradise. Jonathan and Drew crowned this fixture with a spray of fresh eucalyptus — a greenmarket-aromatherapy move you can borrow for any space. They made the most of this bath suite’s ample sunlight by training a leggy, curvaceous umbrella plant to arch over the soaking tub.

Extend the Shower to Create Drama

With a massive glass plate and a wall-spanning walk-in shower, Jonathan and Drew made unexpected architecture the focus of this couple’s primary bath. They could have tucked a tub into this same space or extended the vanity along the whole of the back wall — but by making the most of a single feature, they rendered the room truly unique.

Color Block Powder Room Walls

Jonathan and Drew painted the upper portion of this ground-floor powder room a creamy white, then carried on-trend sage green down across the molding to the hardwood floor. That wash of color makes the floating sink pop. And when the pocket door is open, its rectangular shape echoes the pair of framed landscapes on the wall beside it. A clever effect, no?

Create a Contrasting Storage Cabinet

The four-drawer, two-sink vanity the Scotts selected for this full bath provides some space for towels and toiletries, but the brothers had much more in mind. A floor-to-ceiling storage cabinet adds the visual punch of gorgeously grained wood and more-than doubles the room’s storage.

Convert a Bedroom to a Bathroom

When their clients’ existing bathroom couldn’t be modified to meet their needs, the Scotts decided to start from scratch — and converted an extra bedroom into a warm, organic suite featuring a floating double vanity, a spacious, double-headed shower and space-saving pocket doors.

Make a Statement With Mirrors

With graphic Mediterranean-style tile, a coordinating marble-topped vanity and a glass-walled, marble-tiled shower with crisp black hardware, this chic suite was a feast for the eyes before Jonathan and Drew installed its pieces de resistance. That said, those finishing touches — the pair of curvaceous mirrors that echo the floor’s geometry — complete the space.

Pair Seafoam Walls With a Warm Vanity

Every inch of floor and wall space counts in this diminutive powder room, and the Scotts chose to keep things simple by washing the walls with beach-glass green paint and installing a pebble-shaped mirror above the floating wood-paneled vanity. A matching wooden hook with a tasseled Turkish towel is unfussy and lovely.

Try a Jewel-Toned Tile Treatment in the Shower

The rich, emerald-green subway tile the Scotts chose for this walk-in shower would overwhelm the room if it covered every wall. As they deployed it here, however, it creates a striking space that’s accessible yet visually distinct from the rest of the room.

Maximize Maneuverability With a Shallow Sink

In a powder room of this size, every inch of space is precious, and the Scotts made the most of them by installing a floating sink so compact, even the soap dispenser has its own wall-mounted perch. Though this room lacks counter space, it’s got plenty of graphic impact — thanks to bold midcentury-inspired wallpaper and a chic botanical print on the far wall.

Float Shelves to Display Photos and Curios

Since stashing toiletries isn’t a priority in this powder room, the walls are fair game for a pair of shallow, lipped shelves the Scotts styled with art, photos and decor. The functional space they claim is minimal, but the layered design they contribute to the space is a major contribution.

Aim for a Beachy Feel Minus the Kitsch

With a serene feature wall of glass bricks in a herringbone pattern, a vanity with shutter cabinet doors and subtly oceanic and tropical accessories, the Scotts made this coastal bath suite feel like a gentle seaside breeze rather than a tsunami of tchotchkes.

Experiment With Shower Stall Shapes

In revamping their brother JD’s principal bath in Las Vegas, Jonathan and Drew created a true showstopper. Faceted like a jewel, this pentagonal stall features dramatic black hex and penny tiles that pop against the star-patterned tile they chose as their principal flooring material. This is a facility fit for rock royalty.

Splash Out With a Mad Pattern

This delightfully unexpected bath feels like the answer to a quirky design riddle: “When does jumping in the shower also feel like snuggling up in a cozy flannel?” With quirky touches like a quartet of mirrors, a ceiling-mounted shower head and, of course, that fantastic plaid tile, this design channels the Scotts’ sense of fun.

Add Blue Accessories to a Neutral White Bath

This luxurious bath suite is also incredibly versatile, thanks to its opulent herringbone marble tile, brass accents, white vanity and gray Roman shade. Its character comes in with an intricate, vintage-inspired runner, deep blue linens and a dreamy watercolor canvas — all touches that can be swapped in and out as the homeowners’ moods change.

Go for Broke With a Home Sauna

To appreciate the Scotts’ ambition here, know this photo was taken from inside a steam shower that would dwarf some entire bathrooms by itself. That’s just the beginning for this suite, which is less spa-inspired than a spa hiding in someone’s house. A feature like this glass-walled sauna isn’t to everyone’s taste, but it’s the kind of detail that makes a property a forever home, as it were. Well done, Scotts.
