Natural Master Bathroom

The relaxed, peaceful feel of the master bedroom flows right into the bath by means of ample tilework in varying shades of gray and brown. Found on the floors, along the walls as wainscot, and as the tub surround, this material unifies the area. Small, tightly spaced half-round tiles enhance the shower area.

Serene Master Bathroom

Instead of a basic doorway between the master bedroom and bath, the architects designed a glass wall as a divider, with grommeted curtain panels that can be pulled for privacy. The glass wall visually enlarges the space and adds a sense of calm to the dramatically stenciled room. The large floating bathtub invites relaxation and serenity.

Modern Farmhouse Master Bath

Photo Laurey W. Glenn and Robbie Caponetto / Styling Matthew Gleason

The upstairs master suite showcases a modern barn door, which slides along a track to close off the bath. Because the exterior architectural style of the house borrows from farmhouse vernacular, with board-and-batten siding and a galvanized roof, the barn door is a fitting interior detail. The bright saffron color ties in with the saffron-and-gray bedding and updates the look.

The master bath mixes crisp polished pieces with textured grass cloth wall coverings and curtains to give it a warm spa-like feeling. The tri-fold mirror and vanity makes getting ready for the day a little easier by having natural light and supplies at your fingertips.

Spa-Like Master Bath

Photo Tria Giovan, Styling Olga Naiman

This calm and elegant master bath evokes the opulence of an old-world spa, complete with a large soaking tub and a spacious master shower that's covered in intricate tilework. Large double-hung windows bathe this space with natural light that’s reflected by the honed-marble tile flooring. Cafe curtains provide privacy when drawn, while allowing sunlight to enter the upper window sashes.

Cabinets under the a ledge conceal the tub’s plumbing lines, supplies storage for towels and bath products, and create a display space for plants and artwork.

Glass Tiled Master Bathroom

The curved tub wall, striped with iridescent glass tiles in various shades of blue, strikes a spa tone in the master bath. A trio of windows lets in lots of light, but their height allows privacy. An antique Oushak rug (instead of a bath mat) and a dainty brass chandelier keep the room elegant.

This master bath makes the most of its narrow floor plan with custom-painted vanities and a slipper tub lining one wall. Along with the tub, green glass sconces, pendant lighting, and beaded-board walls embrace vintage style. The bath is further serviced with a separate water closet and a pebble-tiled shower.

Big and Beautiful Master Bath

This master bath doesn’t skimp on amenities. No longer just for kitchens, islands can be major assets in baths too. This built-in adds six more drawers for storage. Lower than a kitchen island, it’s easy to place a suitcase on for packing.

This master bath is made to be orderly. Two vanities and a divided walk-in closet keep morning and evening routines running smoothly. There are also separate water closets, which help to keep the marriage running smoothly.

Soothing Master Bathroom

Cut-stone tile covers the floor, and limestone accents the countertops. Hexagonal tiles, in variegated natural hues, act as a border for the tub surround, wrap around the shower, and adorn the sinks’ backsplash.

Neutral Master Bathroom

This bath is given a more roomlike feel with the use of furniture instead of built-ins. Mirrored chests support sinks flanking the closet doors. The ogee backsplash is carved limestone and adds a bit of architectural embellishment.

Creamy Tiled Master Bath

Mix up the shapes and sizes of your tile, but keep them all the same color. The square floor tiles here are laid in a diagonal pattern; rectangular tile surrounds the base of the tub. Between two tile chair rails, a harlequin design stretches above the tub.

Innovative Master Bath

You don’t always have to install the bathtub flush against a wall. Instead, enclose it with wood for an innovative, freestanding option. A sturdy, low wooden box was designed for housing the tub. To give the floor visual interest, large square tiles were cut into 2-inch-wide strips and laid in a herringbone design. The tile pattern was also applied on the wall behind the tub.

Sophisticated Master Bath

This master bath boasts a sophisticated tone-on-tone color scheme of cream and ivory. Two sinks are separated by a stepped-down vanity area. Gold fixtures and sconces add an element of glamour. Framed mirrors are mounted against the larger mirror above the sinks to create a dazzling optical effect. The walls are covered with a faux-stone wallpaper topped with a Moorish arch border.

Bright and Airy Master Bath

This bright and airy bath packs a lot of style in a not-so-big space. It boasts a marble-tiled floor, vanities on either side of the tub, his-and-her closets, and a spa-style shower with an arched entrance. Glass tiles run up the shower walls and across the ceiling.
