11 Incredible Bathroom Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Makeover

These spa-like spaces will offer plenty of inspiration for your next bathroom update.

Bathrooms are often overlooked spaces in the home when it comes to decorating or styling. It can be tricky to know how to give these spaces personality and not leave them looking cold and sterile. But when it comes to blissful places at home to unwind after a long week, a luxurious design can transport you to a five-star spa experience.

While we've previously shared genius ways to refresh your bathroom for less than $300 and how to update your rental bathroom without a single renovation, we know you can never be short of inspiration.

To help transform your washroom into a spa-like retreat, we're sharing 11 of our favourite designs to help inspire your next makeover. No matter how big or small your space is, there's something here for everyone.

1. Monochrome Classic

Much like her fashion style, editor Justine Cullen opted for a classic and chic look in her coastal-style home's bathroom. And while the colour palette is dialled down, ship-lap panelling and a claw-foot bath help make the space look and feel special.

2. Zen Heaven

Artist Ashleigh Holmes' calming bathroom features walnut timber and soothing green tiles in a vertical subway pattern. Incorporating a walk-in shower with a clear glass wall into a smaller bathroom is a great way to make the space feel larger than it is.

3. Spanish

As far as dream bathrooms go, entrepreneur Emma Lane's is up at the top of our list. The terracotta tones from the bath towels and tiling play into the home's Spanish aesthetic to perfection.

4. Old-World Charm

This beautifully maximalist space sits within a renovated Victorian home. Boasting old-world charm in spades, it features a wallpapered ceiling, freestanding bath, and seaside motifs like shell sconces.

5. Modern Monochrome

Boasting a chic black and white scheme, this ultra-modern bathroom has been clad in marble and outfitted with a luxurious freestanding bath. The space is kept light and bright thanks to a skylight.

6. Leafy Oasis

If you're a bit of an indoor plant lover, take cues from Plant Kween's verdant bathroom which is home to an array of leafy friends from a devil's ivy to a monstera.

7. Tropical Feel

Another leafy space, this bathroom conceived by ABI Interiors feels like it would be within a home in a tropical location. The modern design features a walk-in shower, freestanding bath, gold fixtures, and timber joinery that complements the array of plants.

8. Spa Day

As far as dream bathroom designs go, this calming space hits the mark. The stone inset bath, arched ceiling and window that floods the room with natural light give it a spa-like feel we wish we could retreat to every day.

9. Victorian Beauty

This playful space within Pandora Sykes' reimagined Victorian terrace retains the home's original charm with patterned wallpaper, a green freestanding bath, antique-looking gold tapware, and cane trolley.

10. Zen Retreat

Overlooking a zen courtyard, this soothing bathroom housed within Bree Johnson's home taps into a modern Japanese-inspired look with its minimalist design, zen feel, and light timber joinery. The blue-grey tiles and brushed brass tapware bring a beautiful yet subtle interest to the space.

11. Desert Beauty

The bathroom at Arro Dunes house makes the most of the surrounding desert landscape with large windows and natural textures. It features a combined bath/shower – a perfect design choice for those who love a bath but lack bathroom space.
