Big Glass Showers

I love a big shower. I’ve taken like two baths in my whole life, so I really could care less if my bathroom has a tub (though I see the value of having at least one in the house if there’s going to be young children). The above shower is heavenly to me. Black and white, sleek and shiny, and oh so luxurious. I want to plonk some flowers on that counter but otherwise this is a dream come true.

Here’s a totally different style that still utilizes a glass shower box. I dig that rug.

Finally, the kind of bathroom most of us can only dream about. It’s the ultimate getaway with massive amounts of natural light and serene plant life. Do you like glass showers like these? I hear people say the glass is a pain to keep clean, but I feel like a shower curtain can’t be much better. What do you think?

Simply Stunning Bathrooms

I’m often drawn to simple, sparse spaces, and the room that is easily most suited to this is the bathroom. Clean lines and smooth surfaces lend themselves to an environment dedicated to hygiene. And how about that window!

Minimalist doesn’t always mean modern! An extensive use of white and a couple sleek modern fixtures are mixed with the heavy character of old wood floors, a glittering chandelier with ceiling medallion, and of course the claw foot tub. The use of art here is perfect, adding a bit of color and depth.

This doesn’t quite qualify as minimalist, but it still has an airy and fresh feel. That window is a showstopper for sure, and the ridiculously long drapery adds to the grandeur while also giving the room a wonderful softness.

Using Black in Bathroom Design

April 8, 2013 By Christina Ebbers 4 Comments

I had no intention of doing this, but it just so happens that a few days after blogging about Using Black in Kitchen Design, I also have some great images of black in bathroom design! So why not keep the theme rolling? Clearly I love black. The above bathroom absolutely stuns me. So gorgeous and modern but also approachable. Magnificent texture in the wood grain.

I simultaneously love this and find it overwhelming. It’s just a too stripey for me. Plus, ugh, chevron is so 2011. I’ll still permit small or more subtle uses of chevron, but this very graphic and stark use of the pattern on the floor is not my jam. But I still like this room. The bird prints may have a lot to do with it.

Gimme. I adore this. Its simplicity and vintage pieces really work well. The reddish pink in the rug is a welcome moment of color. You’ll note that black is very often used with white, because what could possibly be more classic than that? Not only do black and white look good together, the white does a good job of keeping things (literally) light. You can have your dark dramatic walls/tub/tile/trim/etc. without letting the room feel like a light-less cave when there’s a fair amount of white to balance it out.

White Marble Bathrooms

Perhaps you recall a month ago when I sang the praises of white marble countertops for the kitchen? It stands to reason that I would love white marble in the bathroom as well, and indeed I do. I wonder what it is about this material that appeals to me so much. White is crisp and clean, the ultimate backdrop. Capable of fitting in with virtually any style. While the gray veining provides visual interest and a beautiful free-form natural pattern.

Do you love marble so much you want to cover nearly every surface with it? By all means. Just make sure you’re aware of the pros and cons of the material which any stone salesperson will be able to explain. On an unrelated note, I love how in the above bathroom they’ve used window film on only the lowest row of panes to provide privacy while still letting in a lot of light.

I really adore this last room. It is clearly a spacious bathroom, which is wonderful. I love how they’ve tackled the issue of sloping walls with expertise. I also really enjoy open vanities like this. It’s such a nice way of keeping the room feeling open and light. A beautiful chest of drawers provides storage as well as a warm wood tone. And the floor tile is stunning too! Which is your favorite part?
