21. Add A Gallery Wall

Transform your wall and vanity into an art gallery and display what you want. By transforming the space you can incorporate elements such as family photos and mirrors to create a more decorative and spacious area, freeing up other parts of your bathroom.

22- Utilize awkward spaces

Utilize your awkward spaces and turn them into shelves, plant holders, or a functioning corner. You can go one step further and use the space as an artistic launch point. Even if you can’t figure out a function for the space, so long as you make it visually appealing, it will only enhance the aesthetic of your bathroom.

23. Use Verticality

Stretch out the objects in your bathroom to create the illusion of a larger space. Position your mirrors vertically, and have plants extend to the ceiling or have fixtures that are more elongated. Tall wallpaper also helps with this effect, giving users the feeling that the room feels much bigger than it actually is. 

24. Bold Patterns

Use bold patterns with ostentatious colors to achieve a more memorable or impactful look. Regardless of the size of your bathroom, utilizing bold patterns and designs will make the space feel more lived in. Bold patterns also pair well with darker or more modern color designs to create a more interesting space.

25. Consider Black Walls

Black walls can reflect other elements of your space and help to highlight aspects such as vanities, mirrors or pictures in greater detail. Although darker colors are considered drab and boring, they can be used to great effect if you choose strong centerpieces to pair with them. Contrast black walls with white fixtures and even gold or bronze to create a larger-than-life space.

26. Natural Light

Natural light is an important element of any bathroom-it can help you feel refreshed and energetic. Not to mention, if you have any plants, natural sunlight is great for promoting growth and longevity. But, if you don’t have windows in your space, consider a remodel for extra sunlight. 

27. More Shelves

More storage is always an important element of any bathroom. Utilize shower niches, install cubbies, and multi-tier your shelving to increase functionality. You can use your shelves to proudly display attractive elements while hiding other less desirable products such as cleaning solutions in a storage space or medicine cabinet. Experiment and keep your bathroom space simple to allow for better movement and use. 

28. A splash of Art

Art is always welcome in any space, allowing you to fully tie together your aesthetic. You can greatly transform your space with the right art piece and use it as a great way of displaying your tastes and sensibilities. So long as you don’t crowd your space, consider adding a meaningful art piece into your master bath. 

29- Keep Tradition in mind

Many modern bathrooms have moved away from traditional pieces such as chandeliers, rugs, and clawfoot tubs. While you are free to do so, remember that these pieces are timeless for a reason. You can keep your colors muted in your bathroom, but traditional pieces are understated and will not steal attention from other elements of your bathroom such as your new freestanding tub or your expensive countertops, so consider traditional elements and colors.

30. Large windows

A master bathroom should always be about comfort and space. Large windows allow you to enjoy natural sunlight and take in the view. Large windows also allow you to control the temperature in your bathroom and provide better ventilation. Lastly, it will also make your space appear much larger.

31. Go Natural

The best part of having a large space is room for plants and other flora. The best part of added plants is that they will also help improve the air quality of your bathroom while greatly improving your mood. Additionally, some varieties will utilize the moisture and humidity from your bathroom and require less water as a result, making it much easier to care for.

32- Geometrical designs

Add geometrical designs to your tile and pair them with multi-colored curtains to add a unique take on your space. Remember that the master bathroom is your space to transform as you see fit, so experiment with color formats.

33. Experiment with layouts

Remember that there is no right layout for your bathroom, so experiment. Try creating individual sinks, or separating the bathtub and shower into individual sections, to create two bathrooms in one. Create a center island and place a drop-in bathtub and place your vanities next to the window for a better view. Feel out the space to see what works for you.

35. Try Large Tiles

Large tiles can better show off softer colors and tones which are a great pairing with your shower and floor tile. In addition, large tiles are much easier to clean and maintain and cheaper to install. 

36. Paint or illustration

We already asked you to consider paintings and art, but take it one step further and consider a graphic or illustration. Your master bathroom is such a large space which gives you even more canvas to work with. Anything goes from motivational phrases, bathroom rules or something artsier such as a popular fictional character or depiction. By doing so, you will transform your bathroom into a unique element of your household. 

36. Modern Boho

You can adapt some bohemian style to your modern master bathroom. Try using penny tiles to create a zig-zag pattern and contrast darker colors with white to create a unique design. Or, you can incorporate more floral patterns against more muted colors that extend throughout the room.

37. Quartz Countertops

Upgrade your space with quartz countertops for a durable but natural look. Quartz countertops match well with many color schemes, they require little maintenance and are resistant to scratches, making them invaluable in a master bathroom. And, if quartz is not to your liking, consider something more robust such as natural stone or composite.

38. Consider lighting options

Utilize your lighting to the fullest to create the perfect ambiance. Add task lights, ambient lighting, and accent lighting to fully emphasize the important aspects of your space. Task lights are great behind your mirror, accent lighting can be placed all around your bathroom, and finally, ambient lighting for your shower and bathtub for a more relaxing time

39. Floating Vanity

Space is always a premium in any bathroom, and a floating vanity not only looks great but saves you valuable space. The design also blends well with any modern look without losing any functionality.

40. Freestanding bathtub

If you are looking, for one thing, to complete your bathroom’s aesthetic, look no further than a freestanding bathtub. The right freestanding bathtub can make your space appear more elegant and sophisticated. Compared to traditional bathtubs, a freestanding bathtub is also versatile, allowing you to place it anywhere in your bathroom so you can create space around it. 

For those looking for a modern touch for your master bedroom, marble is a great choice for creating a sleek yet affordable material. While it may appear similar to natural stone, it is much lighter in appearance and pairs very well with just about any style of bathtub, helping to make your bathroom appear sleek and modern. 

Whether it’s classic or modern, your bathroom should always be a place of comfort and relaxation. Hopefully today, you’ll have gained some inspiration on how you want to model your bathroom. There are countless designs, color schemes, and materials to work with, so don’t be afraid to experiment and one day, you’ll have the bathroom that’s right for your home.
