A bathroom should be a calming place to relax and replenish. With these cozy decorating ideas, it's sure to become one room you'll never want to leave.
In this Pennsylvania house, an extra-large Hoesch bathtub pops against walls painted in Behr's Sled, as does an original mermaid painted by Pennsylvania artist Kolene Spicher. A basket of towels, as well as a bathside candle, help bring a snug feeling to the room.
Rather than hide the guest bedroom's custom-painted Sunrise Specialty tub behind a shower curtain, the homeowner of this Georgia lake house opted for a faucet with hand-shower attachment by Newport Brass. The paneled walls are painted DKC-12 by Donald Kaufman.
Bright idea: An old mailbox finds new life as a bath caddy.
In this Northern California home, the bathroom's handmade fir sink support holds an Olympia basin, while the chandelier, hanging above the vintage claw-foot tub, was purchased on eBay.
Grammy nominee Neko Case's Vermont farmhouse boasts a pale-blue tub by FTF Designs that provides a soothing contrast against charcoal Ann Sacks tiles. The large linoleum collage is by Bill Miller; the towel rack is a Restoration Hardware find.
Bright Idea: Display art against a tiled wall by suspending it, via wire, from Sheetrock above.
The bathroom of this Maine country cottage boasts a circa-1900 amoeba etching; a cut-paper image of Mao Tse-tung; and a pen-and-ink drawing by a friend, all of which help to create a homey atmosphere. Equally alluring: the cast-iron radiator from Architectural Antiques.
Bright Idea: A tall plant stand keeps bath-time necessities within easy reach.
Mismatched vintage mirrors add up to one big statement in the master bathroom, where an antique vanity sports a new skirt and a fresh coat of white paint. The cushion provides a comfy place to sit.
Blue is a calming color, which might be why it's a common hue for bathrooms. The walls of this blue bathroom (which happens to be from our 2010 eco-friendly House of the Year!) are Benjamin Moore Natura in Fiji.
Maple branches in the yard of this Antebellum home are literally placed on a pedestal—a vintage column—in the master bathroom to help give the room a rustic feel. The owner found the pressed fern at a flea market. The walls are painted Throne by Ralph Lauren.
Bright idea: A dark coat of paint lends gravitas to a simple claw-foot tub.
In this California ranch house, the bathroom's dressing area has a vintage black lacquer cabinet that stores sweaters. The 1880 tin traveling trunks are British; the 1940 Oushak rug, Turkish.
Bright Idea: The ultimate in bathroom luxury? A lounge-worthy sofa, like this corduroy covered Biedermeier.
