Marble Masterpiece
The master bath of a New Jersey estate renovated by architect Annabelle Selldorf and designer Matthew Frederick contains a Mies van der Rohe chair by Knoll and a tub filler by Boffi.
Fireside Bathtub
A vintage T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings Klismos chair and footstool sit in the Calacatta marble–clad master bath of Thomas O’Brien and Dan Fink’s Long Island home. The lighting is by Thomas O’Brien for Visual Comfort, and the tub and fittings are by Waterworks.
Water Views
The master bath of a Southampton, New York, retreat by interior designer David Netto and architect David Hottenroth is pure luxury. We are so ready to soak in the tub while listening to the waves.
Long Island Lavatory
At a Long Island home reimagined by architect Kevin Lindores and designer Daniel Sachs, the walls are painted in Farrow & Ball’s Elephant’s Breath the rug is there to soften to the blow when one is forced to leave that beautiful tub.
Paris Powder Room
The master bath of a home outside Paris designed by architect Charles Zana is a marble wonderland! If you’re going to do something, why not commit?
Stunning Manhattan Master Bath
At a Manhattan townhouse renovated by Sawyer | Berson, the master bath, clad in cipollino marble, is equipped with a circa-1940 hanging light and makes us feel about 10 times more glamorous just looking at it.
So Crisp and So Clean
At a Maine compound by designer Suzanne Kasler and architect Les Cole, the master bath boasts custom-made mosaic tile by Waterworks and light fixtures from Circa Lighting.
Bold Bathroom Design
A mix of Ann Sacks surfaces, including a pebble wall covering, brings a warm feel to a guest bath of an Aspen, Colorado, home which was renovated by Stonefox Architects. The tub is perfect for an après ski soak, or thinking about skiing while soaking.
Bathtub with a View
Another one of our favorite bathroom design ideas, this open air washroom boasts a jaw-dropping view of mountains in Aspen, Colorado. Created by architects Bohlin Cywinski Jackson and Shelton, Mindel & Assoc., we’re so jealous we’ve run out of things to say.
A Grand Affair
The master bath of a Minneapolis home designed by Michael S. Smith shimmers with antiqued-mirror panels and a ceiling silver-leafed by artisan Maureen Lyttle; the chandelier is a circa-1930 design by Elsa Schiaparelli for Baguès, and the tub fittings are by P. E. Guerin.
Tiled Simplicity
At a Martha’s Vineyard home designed by Ashe + Leandro, the master bath’s subway tile, tub, and fittings makes us look at subway tile anew.
Martha’s Vineyard Master Bath
In one of the master baths at the Martha’s Vineyard summer home of Lynn Forester de Rothschild and her husband, Sir Evelyn, the tub is equipped with Waterworks fittings; the aluminum Windsor-style chair is a John Vesey design from the Window. The house was renovated by architect Hugh Weisman and decorator Mark Cunningham.
Nashville Washroom
At the Nashville, Tennessee, home of designer Ray Booth and television executive John Shea, the side table by Eero Saarinen for Knoll will go down as a truly great bathroom flex.
Classic Charm
Paintings of Long Island are grouped in a bath at a Hamptons home decorated by Carrier and Co. creating the sweetest little space.
Moody Blues
Matiya Marovich carried the Art Deco vibes all the way into this stunner of a bathroom. He carried through the same blue tile used in the kitchen and dining rooms, and the curved mirror picks up a shape found throughout the home.
Unexpected Black & White Tile
There’s a method to the madness of the black and white tile in Ellen Van Dusen’s bathroom. She found inspiration in the artist François Morellet who, “made these red-and-blue checker paintings where he went through the phone book and assigned a color to even numbers and a color to odd numbers to create a totally randomized pattern. I decided to do that with my bathroom using the phone numbers of my friends and family.”
A Small Space Saver
Dave’s old studio bathroom was dark, cramped, and cavelike. Luckily, architect Aaron Korntreger was on hand to make the most of the small space by opting for white stone and removing the shower door entirely. Now the space is bright and inviting and looks about a million times bigger (okay, maybe not a million, but you get it).
Pretty in Pink
This modern bathroom in Melbourne, Australia, blends bright white walls with delicious pink accents and drool-worthy tile to create a funky space that doesn’t skimp on storage. The curved cabinet and rounded corners give the bathroom a cool, fluid vibe that surprises and delights.
A Super Soaking Tub
Ahh. Even just looking at this tub is relaxing. The slate-tiled shower and black ceiling bring a hefty amount of drama to Michael and Nick’s renovated bathroom, while the bathtub serves as a gorgeous focal point. Something for everyone in this bathroom!
Pattern Aplenty
Nikki’s tiny bathroom remodel proves that you don’t need tons of space to add personality to a less-than-palatial bathroom. Her Before & After is basically an ode to finding the right wallpaper, in her case Rifle Paper Co.’s gold pineapple print, and making it sing.
Heavenly Nantucket Master Bath
“So much of design is knowing when to add and when to take away,” designer Victoria Hagan says. “The fun of it is to find the right balance.” Utilizing clean lines and the symmetry of matching sinks, mirrors, and sconces, Hagan’s bright-white design for a master bathroom in Nantucket, Massachusetts, is in perfect harmony.
Mountain Facing Master Bathroom
Architect Antoine Predock emphasized crisp lines and angles in the bathroom of a Colorado mountain home. Overlooking a grove of aspens, Predock’s design, composed of teak casework and a maple ceiling, is a rustic oasis with a modern sensibility. The contemporary space celebrates luxe wood surfaces with exquisite dovetail construction, sleek fixtures and fittings, and a blissful forest view.
Zen Bathroom
For a client in Japan, architect Kengo Kuma created a guest bath clad in wooden slats and with a striking window wall that lends the feeling of a tree house. The rectangular tub and basin are made of hiba wood and are offset by a sculptural stool. If you’re looking for zen bathroom design ideas, this is definitely something to bookmark.
