9. Crisp and Clean
A color palette that combines silver, pale aqua and white, like the one in this McLean, Virginia, bathroom uploaded by Cunningham | Quill Architects, looks fresh and clean. It can also visually expand a relatively small space like this one, especially when combined with crisp lines and reflective surfaces. Other savvy design choices pictured here include the clear glass half-tub enclosure that lets light from the window pass through, frosted lower panes for privacy, a light basket-weave-pattern floor tile that’s reflective but not slippery and a contemporary reeded front on the white vanity.

8. In the Clear
Designer Sharon George of Architecture by George made this Austin, Texas, primary bathroom look even larger by drawing the eye up to the tall, sloped ceiling with vertically stacked green tile and adding a high, large window that brings in natural light. The shower’s frameless glass enclosure, curbless entry and nonslip mosaic floor tile in the same color as the main flooring also keep the room looking and feeling open and uncluttered.

7. Tiled in Style
The eye is immediately drawn downward in this contemporary Austin, Texas, bathroom by Lilianne Steckel Interior Design, thanks to the floor’s cool concrete tile with a geometric brass inlay. But equally eye-catching are the small, stacked rectangular tiles from Heath Ceramics, which cover the walls, vanity backsplash, shower floor and pony wall in gorgeous Ogawa Green Manganese. Brass plumbing fixtures and accents and limewashed walls tie together the materials and colors.

6. Woodsy and Warm
Wood-look wall tile, multicolor mosaic floor tile and a leafy view could make taking a shower in this Richmond, Virginia, bathroom, uploaded by Keel Custom Homes, feel a little like standing in the forest during a downpour. A distinctly veined light wood vanity and framed prints of tree cross sections might enhance the effect. That said, a creamy floor, countertop and walls ensure that the room looks light and bright. The design leans more organic modern than rustic thanks to the clean lines, slab-front vanity drawers, modern black hardware and plumbing fixtures, and contemporary sconces.

5. Curtain Time
If there were a competition for “Most Theatrical Shower Curtain Pictured on Houzz This Year,” this one — in a Dewey Beach, Delaware, bathroom uploaded by builders CRx — would likely take the prize. Actually, it’s a pair of curtains that extend from ceiling to floor, held back with tasseled curtain ties to allow the creamy zellige-tiled tub apron and a shower wall in matching subway tiles to shine. The bath tiles flow into a beautiful coordinating Moroccan mosaic tile that, like the curtains and the room as a whole, illustrates that neutrals can deliver plenty of drama.

4. Washed in Watercolors
This Austin, Texas, bathroom by Moontower is covered in an irregularly shaped, vertically stacked subway tile that looks almost like it’s been hand-painted with watercolors on the walls. The varied shades of blue contrast beautifully with the warm, midtone wood vanity and antique brass accents, whereas the silvertone plumbing fixtures and shower door hardware blend into the tile’s cooler tones. Two large corner windows connect the room to the outdoors and allow sunshine to pour in.

3. Beige Beauty
Myriad tile shapes, shades of beige and metal finishes contribute to the subtle sophistication of this renovated Ladera Ranch, California, bathroom by Terri Brien Interiors. For example, the double vanity, which has skinny Shaker-style cabinet doors, is painted in a greenish taupe and topped with leather-finished quartzite with gold veining. Its storage tower is stained white oak. The walls, meanwhile, are either painted greige or covered in three different shapes of creamy white tiles. Honey bronze knobs and pulls, satin bronze widespread faucets, antique brass sconces and black-framed capsule mirrors work together to add depth and warmth.

2. Mirror Image
Mountainwood Construction transformed an entire guest suite in a Sun Valley, Idaho, home into this luxurious en suite primary bathroom. Dual white oak vanities with Caesarstone Cloudburst quartz countertops flank the room; each has a round mirror illuminated by pendant lights that drop from a vaulted hemlock ceiling. The vanities lead to a wet room with a soaker tub and double shower. To keep heat and water inside, the room is separated from the vanity area by a low curb, pony walls and a pair of saloon-style doors.

1. 40 for the Win
The most-saved bathroom uploaded to Houzz in 2024 is a common size — 5 by 8 feet (40 square feet) — and features a 24-inch vanity that designer Milena Fay of Matte & Gloss Interiors purchased on Houzz. Fay, who used Houzz Pro business software throughout the Chicago bathroom makeover, coordinated the soft gray veins in the vanity’s stone top with gray marble tile flooring and mosaic tile inside the shower. Outlets built into the drawers free up counter space and hide cords, and a wall-mounted toilet and lighted medicine cabinet also save space and keep the compact room organized and visually clean.
