45 Magnificent Primary Bathrooms in Every Style

Bring lively energy into your bathroom with rich, jewel-like colors, as designer Kati Curtis did in this Boston-area home. She used Dark Burgundy by Benjamin Moore to give it a moody feel. A purple chandelier and tropical curtains brighten up the space.

In designer Alison Victoria's Atlanta loft, she created a simple yet elevated display. “I wanted a real accent wall that wasn’t all paint,” she said of the Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wallcovering hand-painted with 24-karat gold. A solid bronze doorframe from an old elevator elegantly frames it.

A crisp black-and-white color scheme can make a bathroom feel super clean, even when it's not completely spotless. For the primary bathroom in a slope-side chalet, designer Sarah Richardson went bold with marble walls and flooring.

For a cozy, lived-in feel, customize your vanity to make it look like an antique dresser, like the one by Midland Cabinet Company in this main bath by designer Regan Baker.

When you have a home overlooking surreal scenery, it's crucial to make the most of it—even in the bathroom. In his California home, designer Eric Olsen added a glass door (that leads to an outdoor shower!) off the main bath.

The checkerboard flooring made of reclaimed marble and antique marble tub (fashioned from a single slab!) in this main bath by designer Sheldon Harte make it feel luxurious yet organic. Stick with neutral accents, like tan shades and soft white towels, for a serene oasis.

To make the relatively new bathroom in her family home—built in the 1800s—feel original to the house, designer Hadas Dembo added vintage French cabinet doors and a window bordered in Spanish encaustic tile. A few aged pieces can instantly make an entire bathroom feel of another era.

If you want to make your bathroom feel extra airy and large, consider leaving an open doorway as Nicole Dohmen of Atelier ND Interior did for this en suite bath.

With a freestanding clawfoot tub, gold chandelier, black fireplace, and marble tiles, this bathroom by designer Krystal Matthews boasts a lavish atmosphere. Incorporating even just one of these elements will easily elevate your own space.

While this room designed by French & French Interiors is technically a guest bath, it has a creative concept worth applying to any main bathroom (especially a smaller one!): Create an arched backsplash. Pair it with an arched mirror for a soft effect.

There's nothing quite like a copper tub to steal the spotlight in a bathroom, and this one is no exception. But it also needs to be practical... so if it's too deep for you to step into, simply add a marble ledge to make it easier without compromising the style of the space. The weathered look of the tub and exposed beams is juxtaposed with the more elegant marble step and striking white paint, as exemplified by this bathroom designed by Darryl Carter.

Bring back inspiration from your travels, whether it be from a memorable view or a stylish hotel stay. Here, Joy Cho collaborated with designer Cleo Murnane of Project M Plus to create a serene yet unstuffy and fun primary bathroom in her home. Murnane fell in love with the beauty of zellige tiles while traveling in Marrakech, Morocco.

Varying shades of white and gray, a wooden chair, and a storage cabinet that looks like a piece of antique furniture give this grand bathroom a cozy, cottage feel. Plenty of natural light and high ceilings are the cherries on top.

Turn it into a home spa by adding a sauna. Studio Griffiths gave this wood paneling a dark black stain and then backlit the walls for a sexy glow and touch of drama.

Built-ins can seem like a necessary storage solution for small bathrooms, but you don't actually have to drill anything into the wall just yet. Instead, consider repurposing a vintage storage piece as Robert Stilin did here.

Float your tub in the center of the room and position it so it's facing a pretty piece of art if there aren't any large windows to be looking out. Nicole Hollis introduced vibrant colors with an abstract painting that brings in just as much life as a window with a view would.

Robin Henry draws all attention to the beautiful bathtub with symmetrical details. The wallpaper, pendant, area rug, and windows all frame the space beautifully.

For a super sleek art gallery-esque bathroom, take note of this space by AP Design House. The cluster of narrow cylindrical spotlights along with the matte all-white paint color and finishes sets the scene for architectural statements.

This light-filled bathroom by Romanek Design Studio reflects the beauty of the external setting, Malibu. From the wood panel sloped ceiling to the mural of green zellige tiles, this room blends right into the Southern California coast. Plus, the wall-to-wall green tile floors and walls mean that basically everything in the room will hold up well when wet.

If you're building from scratch, consider adding an extra perk for bonus cozy vibes. Translation: a gas fireplace next to the bathtub. In this space designed by Peti Lau, the bathroom and bedroom share a wall, so the connecting fireplace insert provides warmth, style, and romance to both sides.
