19. Blue Farmhouse
With its muted blue cabinets, bright white quartz countertop and antiqued bronze mirrors, this Oregon bathroom balances farmhouse charm with clean, contemporary lines and colors. The teams at Adapt Design and Rockwood Cabinetry warmed the space with wood accents to counter the custom vanity (painted in Gibraltar by Sherwin-Williams), the subdued greenish-gray walls (Sherwin-Williams’ Sea Salt) and the textured shiplap (Sherwin-Williams’ Pure White).

18. A Blaze of White Marble
Vancouver, British Columbia-based design firm Kalu Interiors ignited an unexpected layer of energy in this bathroom by incorporating a sleek built-in fireplace above the modern freestanding tub. A mix of finishes elsewhere in the room — natural polished marble floor and wall tiles, basketweave tiled fireplace surround, metallic towel warmer — create contrast.

17. A Pop of Pattern
With its custom shower enclosure, brass fixtures, basketweave floor tiles and dramatic expanse of colorful wallpaper, this San Diego bathroom has a lot going on. The bold lines of the furniture and the softness of the lotus garden wallpaper work together to capture the adventurous spirit the homeowners were going for when they enlisted CM Natural Designs to dream up the one-of-a-kind space.

16. Calm and Bright
A minimum of frills doesn’t have to mean boring. This serene bathroom pairs a warm custom vanity in redwood salvaged from the project site with a gleaming countertop and tile. To protect the window tucked into the shower from water damage, the team from Jennifer Tulley Architects used a vinyl roll-down shade.

15. Silver and Statement-Making
The claw-foot tub alone makes this posh bathroom stand out. Add in antique-style mirrors, sizable chandeliers, of-the-moment gray cabinets and a flood of natural light and the room is even more striking.

10. Gray, White and Penny Tile

The detail carries over in the floor and niches of the oversize, multihead shower, while a dark vanity and gray floor anchor the room. The delicate chandelier that LEAN Home Remodeling incorporated above the freestanding tub adds an element of lightness.
