Here’s a dirty little secret: Bathrooms don’t always get the attention they deserve when it comes to renovations. While homeowners are busy drooling over their fantasy kitchens — or, as WFH becomes the new norm, creating a home office space — the bath can start to slip down the priority scale. And yet fewer things are more impactful than transforming the room where you start and end your day into a jaw-dropping retreat.
Looking for a little inspo? We’re here to help. This trio of bathrooms — brought to life by The Home Depot — show how nicely your own space can clean up with just a little bit of effort. Maybe it’s adding some eye-catching tile or a bold pop of color, or finally scoring the freestanding tub you’ve always wanted. No matter the project, it’s time to jump right in.
Bold and Beautiful
If you’re the type who loves to live in color, this rich-looking room, which melds three vibrant shades, is your ideal. Thanks to the grounding emerald green and white Carrara polished porcelain tile carried up from the floor, the glossy blue scalloped mosaic shower panel and gray-hued subway tile accent wall complement each other instead of competing for attention.
Keeping most of the other elements neutral or natural (a white vanity, a teak shower mat, a garden seat hand-built from reclaimed wood) helps the focus stay on the vibrant walls. Hang a few favorite pieces of art and — voilà — you’ve got a masterpiece.
A Crisp Classic
Gleaming porcelain flooring, a subtle herringbone backsplash, and sparkly chrome fixtures give this airy space luxury-spa vibes. And with double vanities in blue (a soothing color that’s been shown to help calm your mind), you’ll get an extra dose of relaxation every time you step inside the stainless shower enclosure beautifully accented with aqua glass mosiac tiles.
And while this space doesn’t come with its own personal masseuse (if only!), it does offer endless chilling-out opportunities in the form of a standalone acrylic flatbottom tub.
Picture of Bliss
Who ever said that neutrals were boring? Case in point: This gray and white space that’s anything but blah with its elegant wainscotting (painted Behr Ultra’s Natural Gray) and polished marble mosaic tile allow the geometric backdrop to be the star by pairing it with quieter pieces. Think timeless Carrera marble-topped vanity, polished brushed nickel and chrome fixtures, a frameless shower door, and white porcelain flooring.
Every bathroom’s made better with a freestanding tub like this acrylic flatbottom pick just made for bath bomb-filled evenings in. Add a wooden caddy, your favorite scent, and a good read, and you’re all set to soak to your heart’s content.
