The bathroom is perhaps one of the only spaces where we can experience complete privacy.
When you turn that lock, you close the door on the hustle and bustle of everyday life, giving you a precious moment to take some time to yourself.
And so, where better to embrace a wonderfully immersive and all-encompassing interior design than the bathroom? Whether you’re looking to be transported to warmer climes or find peace in a pared-back retreat, we’ve selected a host of fantastic bathroom themes to help you find inspiration for your space.
The Modern Industrial – Bathroom By The London Bath Co
Epitomized by cool, concrete finishes, black accents, and dramatically minimalist styling, an industrial-themed bathroom makes for a striking, modern statement.
This uncluttered and pared-back aesthetic helps establish a remarkably tranquil space to unwind. If you’re worried an industrial-themed bathroom could feel a little stark, a few verdant houseplants and touches of wood will add a warm and upbeat edge.
The industrial aesthetic is well-suited to more compact bathrooms. As well as minimizing clutter, enveloping your bathroom walls and floors in one seamless surface finish is a clever way to blur the boundaries of the room, creating the illusion of space.
Moody & Chic Black Bathrooms
Create a sumptuous, edgy, and luxurious bathroom with a show-stopping, all-black color scheme. Lighting is crucial to the success of this bathroom style.
Focusing light on the key features of your bathroom will not only emphasize your stunning contemporary fixtures and create a dramatic atmosphere but will also leave the edges of your room in darkness, allowing your imagination to fill in the gaps.
You can accentuate this effect with a generously sized mirror. Make sure you execute this theme effectively with blacklight switches, black taps, and black woodwork.
Effortlessly Stylish Scandinavian Style – Bathroom By Cambridge Kitchens
Scandinavian design has long been synonymous with simple elegance and effortless sophistication. If you’re looking for a truly timeless bathroom design, you can’t go wrong with a Scandinavian-inspired theme.
Muted hues, plenty of white space, and an abundance of natural light form the basis of this look. Natural materials also play an important role.
A rustic wooden bench or vanity accompanied by a stylish yet modest collection of decorative items make the perfect finishing touches.
There’s something quite alluring about how Scandinavian interiors achieve such an understated and unpretentious yet beautiful aesthetic.
Contemporary Luxury – Bathroom By HKS
From marble-effect phone cases to marble worktops, this icon of luxury is undoubtedly undergoing a contemporary revival.
Though its reputation for luxury stems from its rarity and proportionately high price tag, new marble-effect ceramic and porcelain tiles make a great affordable alternative.
Pair with chic black or gold accents and minimal décor to achieve a lavish yet modern feel. With an opulent marble interior scheme, you’re sure to leave your bathroom feeling pampered.
Traditional With An Exotic Twist – Bathroom By The Brighton Bathroom Company
Be transported to a sumptuous Middle Eastern hammam with gorgeous mosaic tiles and beautiful natural stone surfaces. Emphasizing the sophisticated teal patterned tiles, a rich hue envelops the space.
Which, in combination with the soft wall lights, creates a warm and all-embracing atmosphere.
Natural stone tiles and timeless traditional fixtures cleverly bridge the intercontinental gap, adding an air of classic elegance to this stunning Brighton bathroom.
Victoriana for The 21st Century
Don’t be afraid to get creative when it comes to taking inspiration from the past.
While show-stopping Victorian metro tiles and a glamorous freestanding tub set the tone for this room, a sleek contemporary vanity unit, geometric floor tiles, and an on-trend mirror give this interior a playful yet sophisticated modern twist.
Vintage-themed gold wheel taps stand out beautifully against the dark and evocative Victorian green color scheme. This breath-taking bathroom brings an authentic yet stylish antique feel to the modern home.
Japanese-Inspired Spa Bathroom
Connecting with nature is known to benefit our mental health and wellbeing, and so what better way to create a relaxing spa-like bathroom than by using serene natural colors and textures? Japanese and Scandinavian interiors are both informed by a deep reverence for nature.
This is expressed through the use of organic materials, natural light, and open space. You can translate these ideas into your design by pairing minimal modern furniture with textural stone tiles and plenty of wood accents.
A central freestanding bath pays homage to the Japanese concept of Ma, or the space in between things while making for a dramatic focal point.
Seaside Theme Bathroom With A Twist
Thanks to their aquatic associations, seaside-themed bathrooms are a popular choice. However, blue bathrooms dotted with seashells and driftwood can often look rather cliched and unoriginal.
Why not consider opting for a more contemporary take on the coastal bathroom? An iridescent wave feature wall adds a mesmerizing touch of underwater enchantment to this sleek modern interior.
A pebble-shaped basin makes a subtle and sophisticated finishing touch.
Bringing The Outdoors In – Bathroom By Ream
You can’t go wrong with a stunning nature-inspired bathroom. Houseplants offer a simple yet effective solution to bring the outdoors into your space and will thrive in humid conditions.
Use textured natural stone tiles to further accentuate the inside-outside look. Clean modern sanitaryware allows the details of your design to do the talking.
The bathroom is the perfect place to express your creativity and have a bit of fun with your design.
And, whether you’re looking for something eye-catching and traditional or understated and modern, embracing a clear bathroom theme is a great way to create a cohesive and impactful interior that transports you from the mundane stresses of everyday life to a faraway retreat.
We hope our guide has helped you find some fantastic inspiration. If you’re still looking for ideas, why not get in touch with your local independent retailers to take the next step toward making your bathroom dreams come true?
