9. Rough and Tumbled
Designed by Dseesion Interiors, this London bathroom has a restrained palette but an abundance of materials and textures that create interesting contrasts. For example, the rough stone edge on the vanity’s countertop and the rustic wood stool contrast with the smooth stone on the floor, walls and tub surround. Black steel accents pop against the pale beiges and whites. And linear lines in the reeded-glass shower surround and divider contrast with round penny tiles in the shower.

8. Not So Mellow Yellow
Architect Lincoln Lighthill used yellow and white hexagonal Heath Ceramics tiles to add a fun factor to this San Francisco kids bathroom. A shower-tub combo worked best in the 5-by-7½-foot room, which also has a space-saving in-wall tank toilet and a recessed medicine cabinet (Catalan by Kohler) above the quartz-topped custom walnut veneer vanity.

7. London Calling
The lighted niches in this London-area bathroom by Absolute World show off a dramatic swirly blue marble-like surface that’s also behind a large soaking tub on the opposite wall. The other finishes keep the vibe relatively simple: wood-look tiles on the floor, white tiled walls, a black vessel sink atop a wall-hung vanity and a black-framed walk-in shower surround that calls to mind a British telephone box — or maybe that’s just us?

6. Black and Blue
Designer Thomas Puckett used Houzz photos for inspiration when designing this New York City bathroom. Measuring 8 by 8 feet, the room has a mosaic floor tile with blue glass and inlaid brass details — a combination echoed in the French blue vanity and its oversize pulls. The tile jumps the low curb into the shower, which makes the small room look larger and gives the tile more opportunity to shine.

5. Nautical Nods
The existing floor in this renovated Gloucester, Massachusetts, bathroom (like the floors in the rest of the historical home) was hand-painted pinewood. Designer Pamela Forman of PBF Homes preserved and repainted them in the spirit of the area’s maritime history and opted for a low-curb shower versus a curbless design to lessen the risk of damage to the wood. And for good measure, she added a stone-inlaid “bath mat” that coordinates with the Siberian Gray marble-look porcelain shower wall tiles and marble vanity top.

4. Stripes Ahoy
These clients found designer Calista Munnell Kruus of Calista Interiors on Houzz and asked her to bring a playful, nautical navy-and-white color scheme to their central Washington kids bath, which is also used by guests. Munnell Kruus responded by installing penny tiles in large, horizontal stripes on the shower wall and in a swath above the vanity’s quartz countertop, using contrasting grout to make the pennies pop. Blue-gray concrete floor tile and a white vanity complete the look.

2. Airy Elegance
Devon Grace Interiors designed this soft-looking primary suite in Chicago, which features a gray double vanity, a marble-look quartz countertop and slab backsplash, and gray ceramic wall tiles with subtle variation and texture. The brass wall-mounted faucets and hardware, as well as the brass plumbing fixtures in the corner shower and freestanding tub (not pictured), add warmth to the pale palette.

1. Vanity Flair
This Storie Collective-designed bathroom, which is in a 1900 row house in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., has numerous beautiful elements, from its oak flooring to the claw-foot tub to its vintage-style lighting and crown molding. But it’s the classic-looking marble-topped vanity with paneled doors and bottom drawers that steals the show.

The teak Japanese ofuro tub may be the centerpiece of this minimalist San Francisco bathroom, but you can’t even see the coolest feature: smart glass windows that transform from transparent to opaque when privacy is needed. Designed by architect John Lum, the room also has white porcelain penny tiles on the floor, charcoal slate wall tile and a teak shower floor to give it what the architect calls an “Asiatic tropical” feel.
