Hey there! If you’re on the hunt for some cool bathroom remodel ideas, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re just making a few tweaks, planning a full makeover, or just dreaming about it while you work, a bathroom reno can totally change the vibe of your home (and your skincare game). It’s no surprise that the bathroom, along with the kitchen, is often at the top of the list when it’s time to renovate. Picking a fresh look can be tricky, though, so we’ve rounded up some awesome bathroom decor ideas from the pages of Architectural Digest and Clever. Get ready for some inspo featuring cozy tubs, fancy vanities, and sleek showers. From laid-back to luxe, these stylish spaces are perfect for your mid-afternoon daydreams.
- Add a Fireplace
Want to really amp up the relaxation factor? Consider adding a fireplace to your main bathroom. Just check out actor Sam Page’s place, designed by Allie Boesch. It’s got that chill California vibe with crisp white paint, and a fireplace can fit right in, whether you’re going for rustic or traditional. - Switch Up Your Laundry and Bathroom
Not happy with where your bathroom is? Think about swapping it with your laundry room. It might not always make things flow better, but it could work—and it’s way easier than tearing down walls. That’s exactly what homeowners David Krause and Ayan Chatterjee did in their upstate New York remodel, and they ended up with a much brighter, happier space. - Get Creative with Natural Light
If you’re doing a full remodel, don’t feel like you have to stick to the usual design rules. Think outside the box, especially when it comes to natural light. At fashion designer Derek Lam’s Fire Island home, the bathroom walls are made of translucent polycarbonate sheets, letting in light while keeping things private. - Go for a Slim Sink
If your remodel isn’t for a guest or powder room, consider a slimmer sink instead of a bulky vanity. If you don’t need all that space for toiletries, it’s better used for other bathroom essentials or just to create a more open feel. Bonus points for a built-in sink, like in this Jacques Grange-designed space. - Combine Two Rooms
When interior designer Scarlett Gowing tackled this Victorian home, she respected its history while also making some bold changes. One of those was merging two tiny rooms into one spacious bathroom, giving it a fresh new look. - Turn a Small Bathroom into a Big Shower
If you’ve got the extra space, why not transform a tiny bathroom into a huge walk-in shower? Sure, it might mean adding a new bathroom area with a toilet and sink, but if you can swing it, it’s a game-changer. Designer Mike Moser did this in a Greenwich, Connecticut home, using gorgeous Arabescato marble for the walls and floor. - Divide Your Space Thoughtfully
You don’t have to go as wild as the circular mirror that acts as a partition in this Beirut bathroom by David/Nicolas, but you can be intentional about how you divide your bathroom during the remodel. Whether it’s separating the toilet from the rest of the room or creating distinct zones for you and your partner, think about how you want to use the space.
