A look at inspiring bathrooms (and fabulous flooring to match).

If you’ve ever watched HGTV, you know that the top slot on many a homebuyer’s wish list is a spacious bathroom with a luxurious tub—and we’re right there with them. Whether you have an abundance of space to work with or a lack thereof, transforming your bathroom into a dedicated zone for calm and relaxation can make a world of difference when it comes to appreciating your home.

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up some design themes and interior aesthetics that will help you kick off your very own bathroom renovation journey. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned comfort connoisseur who loves luxuriating with a good soak, or just a bath-time newbie looking for a few starter ideas—these tips should help set you on the path to ultimate bathroom bliss.

 

Cool Contemporary

If you want a sleek and modern vibe in your bathroom, turn to neutral-colored organic materials like tile or stone, and pair them with slick metal decor or fixtures. Smooth surfaces and understated tones are two trends on the upswing, and the combination will help you replicate the clean, contemporary aesthetic you might find in a bathhouse or spa.

Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese architecture—like in this contemporary Hudson Valley home designed by architect Toshiko Mori—we love the minimal, spa-like approach to designing a bathtub space where you can unwind without the distraction of overwhelming décor. The bright, neutral space allows for natural light and outdoor colors to take center stage.

And, for the finishing touch, consider some Vivid White Subway Tile from LL Flooring for your walls and backsplashes. The simple patterns and classic color palette bring an instantaneously cool and stylish flair to your bathroom design.

Friendly Farmhouse

Whether you’re out in the country or right in the middle of a bustling city, you can emulate the ambiance of a calm, pastoral paradise with a few key design elements. The trick with designing a rustic, farmhouse-inspired room without going overboard is to keep things light.

We love the approach that design firm Hottenroth + Joseph Architects took with this luxurious Southampton Beach home. With a clean, light color palette and a modernistic bathtub, the room strikes an ideal balance between cozy and sophisticated. 

To achieve this look, consider light, cool-toned, waterproof flooring—like LL Flooring’s Duravana Lake Worth Oak waterproof hybrid resilient floor. With this waterproof with dual defense floor, you can enjoy the warmth and organic appeal of wood alongside the peace of mind that comes from having waterproof protection in an area that’s prone to spills and splashes.
