Bold patterns [1]
The master bath of this Arkansas home uses boldly patterned wallpaper, window treatments and pillows to inject personality into the room.
Farmhouse bath [4]
A dresser scored for $50 gains new life as a vanity in the bathroom of this Nebraska farmhouse. The homeowners cut a hole in the dresser top for the sink and in back for plumbing. Enamel paint for wood and metal protects the dresser from moisture.

Pastel paradise [10]
A color palette inspired by beachy hues gives this St. Louis master bath the feel of a seaside retreat. To match the rest of the home's early-1900s architecture, two wall-mount faucets in polished nickel and sconce lighting were added above a concrete trough sink.
Marble masterpiece [13]
A honed Carrara marble floor was the big splurge in this country-yet-glam bath. The homeowner saved money by updating a panel mirror with a stained wood frame. A modern vessel sink, reminiscent of an old wash basin, adds to the rustic, chic style.
Vintage finds for a bathroom [16]
A soda pop cooler becomes a colorful and creative sink. For unusual molding, this Minnesota homeowner applied yardsticks above corrugated steel wainscoting. To coordinate with the sink, she mixed red and green sticks.
Calming bath [19]
A shell chandelier hangs over a soaking tub in the master bathroom [20], where calming colors evoke the serenity of the nearby lake.
Painted vanity [23]
A painted vanity adds a bright pop of color and continues the casual, perky hues found in other rooms of this Lake Michigan home.
Spot on [26]
Decor is spot on in this bath with round motifs like dot wallpaper and a circle mirror.
Farmhouse influence [29]
An old farm table is repurposed as a double vanity in this spaciyus master bathroom. Two white glass-bowl sinks stand out against the rustic surface. A free-standing armoire and black window shutters add to the farmhouse-style appeal.
Soothing style [32]
Soft floral wallpaper brings soothing style to a tiny powder room. Hanging monogrammed hand towels is an easy way to add a personal touch.
Spa-like retreat [35]
Weathered wood around the mirror contrasts with sleek, polished marble shower tiles in this contemporary bath. The overall effect is of a spa-like retreat.
Sweet country [38]
A reproduction claw-foot tub preserves old-cottage style in this light-filled bathroom. White subway tile and lavender paint brighten the walls.
Symmetric style [41]
A four-tier slim shelf keeps bathroom essentials within easy reach, while a set of twin mirrors gives this bath symmetry. Pops of orchid purple, lime green and black bring sophisticated color to the all-white bath.
Playful modern [44]
His-and-her porcelain washbasins with custom trestle-style wooden legs and wall-mounted faucets look contemporary, yet casual, in a clean-white bathroom. Bright towels (stored cleverly in baskets under the sinks), artwork and a vase of flowers add pops of cheerful color.
Perfect fit [47]
Bring natural light to your vanity area with windows on either side. Earth-tone touches, such as vintage rattan and dark wood, warm this white bathroom.
Fresh looks [50]
White cabinetry and modern hardware offer a crisp, clean look. A sleek faucet adds more style to the square vessel on a new granite countertop.
Naturally light [53]
Natural color oak, neutral limestone and a white tub keep the palette of this bath light and bright. Windows let in plenty of light but are also placed for privacy.
Inexpensive elegance [56]
A concrete countertop dresses up basic white-painted cabinetry and looks great with brushed-nickel fixtures and accessories. Black-and-white photography, opposite the mirror, is easy art. Bargain white fabric makes pretty drapes.
Warm and welcoming [59]
Dark wood cabinets (with a convenient cutout for towels) and caramel walls give this guest bath a cozy feel. Mosaic glass tiles pull from the rich colors for a cohesive scheme.

Nature walls [64]
A life-size mural of aspen trees in winter turns this bathroom into a relaxing outdoorlike oasis. Soft green paint matches the leaves in the paper. Two tones of wood accents help warm the space.
Rustic retreat [67]
A bright rug and striped shower curtain liven the wood paneling in this rustic retreat bathroom. Inexpensive hooks from a hardware store are great for holding multiple wet towels (in colors to match the decor).
Handcrafted style [70]
A custom-cut quartzite countertop and an artisan-made sink bowl and accent tiles give this powder room Arts and Crafts style.
Simply traditional [73]
Dark woods and taupes warm this traditional-style master bath. Floating a stock drawer unit between a pair of vanities creates a custom, furniture-style look and offers extra counter space. Framing the mirrors adds a simple but impactful touch.
Sparkling glamour [76]
Shimmering glass tile covers a sparkling surround to a low, jetted tub. A series of green-leaf prints and a window waterfall enhance the relaxing bath.
Simple and serene [79]
Calming chocolate-brown walls contrast with white cabinetry, trim and floor tile to create architectural interest in this soothing master bathroom. A white-painted freestanding cabinet, rescued from a flea market, offers extra storage for towels and bath essentials. A grouping of antique mirrors on the wall brings a touch of elegance.
Farmhouse flair [82]
A sleek backsplash, wall faucet and carved counter give this rustic bathroom a modern touch. A slanted area in the counter directs water to the silver "trough" below, giving a new spin on an old farm idea. An inexpensive closet mirror, framed with raw cedar, hangs horizontally and completes the rural theme.
Outside feel [85]
It's like bathing outside--but in private! Setting the soaking tub in front of the windows provides an extensive view of nature in this Lake Michigan home. Cafe curtains maintain privacy.
Space saver [88]
To fit a soaking tub in the master bathroom, the homeowners opted for slim his-and-her sinks.
Practical indulgence [91]
A walk-in shower is the focal point of this bathroom. Though the black-and-white scheme gives it a masculine tone, beaded board, fluffy towels and the sweet etagere balance the look.
Old tub, new bath [94]
An antique claw-foot tub sits in a dormer in a new bathroom carved out of attic space.
