10 Dreamy Bathroom Designs to Fantasise About for Your Home Renovation

Guaranteed to give you (and your guests) major bathroom envy.

Why settle for boring, cookie-cutter bathroom designs when you can have a stand-out sanctuary to start the day on the right note (or scroll through your phone in peace)?

We look at some of the swoon-worthy bathroom designs we’d want to be in right now!

1. A coastal-style bathroom with a huge domed shower

Our first pick for the list is extra spacious thanks to the combined space of two adjacent bathrooms in this 3-storey cluster house.

Look past the lovely integrated his-and-hers sink and you’ll find the most impressive part: the domed shower area inspired by Australian coastal interiors, done up with scores of miniature kit kat tiles and rounded off with a rain shower for a spa-like experience.

2. A bathroom with whimsical colours and an impressive storage area

We could all do with a dedicated storage area, like the curved storage nook in this ‘corridor-less’ 5-room BTO that the owners use to house bath essentials like towels and toiletries.

The cherry on top is undoubtedly the holographic tiles lining the bathroom walls, which reflect light and create a gorgeous iridescent effect – guaranteed to make shower time longer.

3. A unique bathroom that blends a variety of interior styles

This one’s for those tired of run-of-the-mill designs. This bathroom, with its unique interplay of various design elements and colours, is one to remember.

Fluted glass panel doors lead to a space lined with veined marble slabs and a vanity with wood profiling reminiscent of mid-century modern interiors.

And have you seen that quaint tub? You’ll never want to leave!

4. An elegant bathroom that combines the old and the new

The mix of contemporary and traditional elements – like sleek lines, gold accents and marble – lends this bathroom an edge over the typical ones. We love how the choice of dark marble adds an extra layer of cosiness for the days you want to pamper yourself with a long shower.

The other bathroom in the house is a dark haven sporting a similar concept of blending the old and the new, though with wallpaper for the vanity and dark stone-look tiles at the shower area instead.

5. A bathroom that embraces imperfection (and a built-in tub)

If you haven’t heard of wabi-sabi, where have you been? With organic textures for the walls and vanity, and a restrained palette, this condo bathroom fully embraces this philosophy of living alongside imperfections.

Plus, there’s a built-in tub for those days you want to soak off the stress.

One creative twist is how fluted glass is used both as a divider to separate the wet and dry areas, and as a ‘window’ to let light in while maintaining privacy.

6. A charming wabi-sabi bathroom

Since raw, organic textures are trending in 2024, here’s another bathroom with wabi-sabi elements to check out. The weathered-looking edge of the tub and the rough stretch of tiles along the wall add a gritty yet charming touch.

The quirky shapes of the mirror and the wall sconce introduce soft lines to soften harsh lines, making the space look extra cosy – it’s safe to say this bathroom’s one for the dreamers.

7. A bathroom with vibrant colours that navigates awkward corners

If you enjoy breaking the mould, this bathroom just might tickle your fancy.

It isn’t just the uncommon choice of vibrant hues of blue that make this bathroom stand out: the owners navigated the awkward layout by installing an elongated vanity along the walkway to the shower area, which adds a lot of handy storage space too.

8. A warm, luxe bathroom to indulge in

After a day of hard work, picture stepping into this lavish bathroom to enjoy the ultimate relaxation – we know we’d never want to step out.

The space features a striking combination of veined stone surfaces, gleaming gold fixtures and warm lighting to soften the space.

The vanity (with all that storage!) is also designed as an integrated sink: not only does the slab have a sleek, seamless look, but it’s also easier to clean.

9. A bathroom that goes bold and bare

Bare everything if you dare with open-concept bathrooms – the likes of which you might’ve seen in some hotels. This one certainly doesn’t hold back, with glass doors for an unobstructed view of the impressive two-tier vanity and a free-standing tub.

Owing to the lack of partitions, light can flow in freely to brighten up the area and make it feel more spacious too, especially if you’re working with limited square footage.

10. A sophisticated bathroom with intricate details

To round off the list, here’s a bathroom that could pass off as belonging in a hotel room. It keeps things sophisticated with a pleasing black-and-white palette and refined details like the panelling on the vanity cabinet.

There’s also the intricate tile patterns in the upper half of the shower area for an added touch of luxury. Can we check in here yet?
