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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
From marble-effect phone cases to marble worktops, this icon of luxury is undoubtedly undergoing a contemporary revival.
