Frame your hero piece. Two unique plant stands frame an elegant freestanding bathtub.

Blur the border between a garden and a bathroom. Standing a bathtub on a floor of pebbles creates a natural flow between inside and outside spaces. Grow an indoor garden of potted plants with long fronds to keep the theme going.

 

Create a tree mural. Even if you’re not lucky enough to have a bathroom picture window in a private garden, you could place a tree mural behind your bathtub. This unique nature-themed feature wall is a tile design that shows small sections of trees.

 

Set the mood with lighting. Forget harsh overhead lighting when it’s time to sink beneath the bubbles. When it comes to relaxation, softly glowing lamps are where it’s at. Hot bath, book in hand, coffee. Bliss.

 

Time for task lighting. When there’s no time for relaxing in the tub you will be thankful for some focussed task lighting, particularly around the vanity. This particular swing arm wall lamp has an interesting placement though – perhaps there’s some bathroom reading going on in a spot other than the tub…

 

Get creative with plants. The owner of this bathroom must really love plants. Things may get a bit tickly in that crowded shower enclosure.

 

Vanity countertops should be both practical and beautiful. When filling your vanity top with soap dispensers and the like, consider adding a decorative vase for an elegant finishing touch.

Mosaics aren’t just bathroom border tiles. Use a mosaic tile in its intended form, as eye-catching artwork.

 

Evoke grandeur with ornate accessories. Luxury hotel bathrooms are often filled with ornate vanity mirrors and sculptures that can be translated into our very own luxury home bathroom.

 

Highlight furniture fretwork. If your furniture or mirror frames are blessed with intricate fretwork, new backlighting could be all that’s needed to make your bathroom a standout space.

 

Is it the vertical garden or the spectacular pendant light that’s the focal point of this decor? Well, nobody said you were only allowed one hero piece.

 

The hero of this room is most certainly the imposing garden statue art mural, softly lit by small bathroom pendant lights on one side and a floor lamp on the other.

 

Bathroom window shutters suit traditional and modern decor alike. This eclectic minimalist bathroom, influenced by Wabi-Sabi, uses shutters to add a spike of classic French-Italian flavor.

 

Curate a rustic bathroom scheme by selecting highly textured, natural elements. Team the rustic pieces with some modern furniture to keep the look current, like these sleek sinks from By Coccoon.

 

Play up to lofty proportions. This vaulted ceiling looks even taller thanks to a low sunken bathtub and an elongated pendant light.

 

Marble can be colorful too. Check out this molten yellow wet wall.

 

Set the stage. A show-stopping Koi bathtub is set on a raised platform, which gives the piece the prominence it deserves. It also houses all of the not-so-glamorous pipework too.
