Master Bathroom Design Ideas

Bowl Sink with Mirror-Mounted Faucet


Most homes are now designed with an attached bathroom in the master suite. A master bath enhances privacy and is a retreat from children and other household members and guests. The master baths in tract homes have similar designs that may not reflect your tastes. It's simple to transform your master bath into a room that you'll love.


Elegant Accessories


A modern master bathroom design can feature truly elegant furniture and accessories. Whether custom-made or bought at a store, bathroom cabinets are now made of the same quality woods and finishes available in other fine furniture. You can buy high quality cabinet knobs, pulls and other fixtures or have them custom made. Bathroom lighting should not be limited to three round bulbs in a metal strip. A beautiful master bath should include quality lighting fixtures that reflect your taste and can include everything from Tiffany glass to chandeliers. However, keep in mind that the lighting over your sink should provide task lighting for putting on make-up and shaving.


Create a Zen Retreat


If you love Asian motifs, spa treatments or yoga, consider transforming your bath into a peaceful retreat. Paint your walls ivory, tan or perhaps a spring green. Cover your floor with stylish and sustainable flooring material like bamboo. Choose slate or river stone to cover your counters, shower and tub. Accent your room with copper fixtures and teak accessories. If there is enough space and resources, consider adding a steam shower or sauna to add to the spa effect.


Go Contemporary








Modern styles feature little ornamentation. Not only are they sleek, they are the easiest surfaces to keep clean. Add a shower with no door in a larger master bath. A large enough stall shower will contain the shower's spray without the need of a door: one less thing to clean. A modern design can also include automated features like lights and sinks that are activated with motion detectors. A modern bath should have sealed, smooth surfaces, cabinets without raised molding, and fixtures and accessories with straight or rounded lines. The severity of modern design is complemented with living plants, rich colors and the softest, finest towels and bathmats.
