A boring primary bathroom doesn’t have to stay that way. These 37 spaces prove that outdated fixtures and dull tile can become spa-worthy retreats with the right design choices.
In order to come up with the very specific design ideas, we create most designs with the assistance of state-of-the-art AI interior design software.
The best boutique hotels share a common thread: they make guests feel pampered without overwhelming the senses. These bathrooms borrow that same approach, trading builder-grade basics for materials and layouts that feel both luxurious and livable.
Freestanding Black Tub and Moody Finishes Anchor the Sanctuary

The dated beige tile and oak cabinetry vanish in favor of a moody Art Deco sanctuary anchored by a freestanding black bathtub. Deep emerald paint coats the walls and ceiling, while gold geometric wallpaper in a fan pattern creates an accent wall behind two arched niches with cream upholstery. Black quartz countertops pair with ribbed cabinet fronts in matching dark finish. A statement chandelier with amber globe shades hangs from the black ceiling. The frameless glass shower enclosure features matte black grid tile and gold plumbing fixtures that echo the vintage-inspired aesthetic throughout.
Checkerboard Zellige Shower Tile and Terracotta Tones Warm the Space

Rounded arched mirrors in brass replace the standard rectangular design, while vessel sinks sit atop a floating light wood vanity with open shelving below. Multicolored terracotta and tan zellige tiles create a checkerboard pattern in the walk-in shower. A freestanding white soaking tub anchors the center, framed by sheer curtains and a woven rattan pendant light.
Vertical Slat Partition and Floating Vanity Replace Clunky Oak Cabinets

A custom vertical wood slat partition now divides the vanity area from the rest of the space, replacing the bland beige tile surround that once framed the mirror. The floating vanity in light oak features integrated LED backlighting that washes the white stone countertop and creates a soft glow against the pale gray walls. Wall-mounted faucets in brushed nickel extend over a rectangular undermount sink, eliminating the dated chrome fixtures and cluttered counter.
Glass shower panels replace the framed enclosure, while wood-look porcelain planks run throughout, erasing the old grout-heavy tile grid. A rainfall showerhead drops from the ceiling on a matte black arm, and the sunken tub retains its alcove position but gains cleaner tile cladding and a streamlined profile.

Frameless Walk-In Showers and Black Stone Benches Upgrade the Wet Zone

Horizontal wood slats stretch across the ceiling, framing a central skylight and concealing LED strip lighting that casts a warm glow along the perimeter. The dated beige floor tile gives way to large-format charcoal stone pavers, while the original oak cabinets disappear in favor of a floating vanity with light wood cabinetry and a white countertop. Backlit rectangular mirrors with matte black frames replace the basic builder mirrors. Wall-mounted faucets in black finish punctuate the clean lines.
Dark textured walls in a concrete-look finish replace the plain white paint, creating depth without pattern. The former shower-tub combo transforms into a sleek walk-in shower with frameless glass and a built-in black stone bench. Open shelving in blonde wood interrupts the dark walls, offering display space that the old medicine cabinets never provided. Black matte hardware and fixtures unify the space.
White Tile, Floating Vanities, and Glass Panels Clean Up the Visual Noise

Glossy white floor tiles replace beige grout lines while a sculptural white freestanding tub occupies the space once claimed by a builder-grade alcove tub surrounded in tan ceramic. Floating white vanities with integrated sinks eliminate the oak raised-panel cabinets, and frameless glass panels enclose the walk-in shower outfitted with marble-look porcelain and brushed nickel fixtures.
Pale Oak Veneer Vanities and Brushed Brass Pulls Warm Up the Bath

Beige ceramic tile and a chrome-framed shower stall give way to pale oak veneer cabinetry and a sculptural concrete soaking tub. The vanity features integrated drawer pulls in brushed brass, paired with matching wall-mounted faucets and a single oval mirror outlined in brass. Natural light pours through a recessed skylight directly above the tub, which sits in a subtle platform niche.
Wood-look porcelain planks replace the old grid-pattern floor tile, running the length of the room to visually expand the space. The open shower zone is finished in large-format beige stone slabs with a ceiling-mounted brass rain head and handheld fixture. Recessed LED lighting and a wood towel ladder add warmth without clutter.
Dark Hex Tile Floors and Jewel-Tone Walls Ground the Drama

Deep emerald walls adorned with oversized banana leaf wallpaper set a bold tropical tone. A freestanding green tub occupies the center, framed by arched windows with white casings that balance the saturated color. The original oak cabinetry has been replaced with green shaker-style vanities topped with white marble veined in gray. Gold fixtures and towel bars amplify the luxe hotel feel.
Vertical fluted paneling in the same emerald hue wraps the shower enclosure, paired with a brass rainfall showerhead and handheld wand. A statement chandelier with green glass globes hangs above the tub, while recessed cans provide ambient lighting. Dark hexagonal floor tiles ground the space, a sharp departure from the bland beige squares that came before.
Editor’s Note: The banana leaf wallpaper pattern extends only partway up the walls, stopping below crown molding to avoid overwhelming the room. This half-wall application lets the texture breathe while maintaining drama.
White Shiplap Ceilings and Warm Texture Brighten the Bath

Honey oak cabinets and tan grout lines vanish in favor of a crisp white shiplap ceiling that adds texture overhead. Light oak-toned vinyl plank flooring runs the length of the space, replacing beige ceramic squares. A freestanding oval soaking tub occupies the window niche, flanked by white shaker-style trim molding that frames natural light.
Carrara marble tile wraps the walk-in shower in veined gray and white, visible through frameless clear glass panels with brushed nickel handles. The floating vanity sits on wood legs in a pale oak finish, topped with white marble and paired with a vessel sink. An open shelf below holds neatly rolled white towels, while a woven drum pendant hangs from the shiplap, casting warm ambient light across the room.
Brushed Gold Fixtures and Marble Walls Push It Into Bespoke

The flat ceiling gains dimension through recessed coffered panels lined with warm LED strip lighting, anchored by a hammered brass orb pendant. Navy Shaker cabinets with polished gold cup pulls replace the honey oak vanity, paired with a honed marble countertop.
An arched alcove frames the freestanding tub beneath a decorative arch-top window dressed in cream drapery and navy geometric tile accents.
