A beautiful bathroom – whether you have a canvas capacious enough for a chaise longue and a mini library or you’re confined to somewhat more compact quarters – is a thing of joy. And if you’re looking for ideas for how to make your bathroom look as good as new, nowhere abounds with them quite like Pinterest.

The beauty of it is that often quite small tweaks and additions can make all the difference – or, of course, you could go the whole hog and commit to recreating these looks in full and revel in your morning ablutions forevermore. Any which way, there’s nothing like a good scroll through Pinterest boards for a diverting exercise in bathroom envy/ inspiration. We’ve rifled through to present the images that are making it to our bathroom mood boards, and the products that will help achieve the look, from the haute boheme to the rustic and simple.

Look One: Rustic Simplicity


Look 1

Spare, contemporary and peaceful: we are coveting this natural light-filled beauty of this room.




Look Two: Belle Époque Elegance


Look 2

Classic and graceful, the soft tones of this townhouse bathroom create a room that is deeply conducive to unwinding.




Look Three: Industrial Meets Romance


Look 3

Industrial yet soft, this marriage of exposed seams and bolts with pitchers of flowers and starched ruffled linen is sublime.




Look Four: Go Green


Look 4

Romantic yet fresh, the botanical nods in this bathroom set up make it a tranquil and irresistibly inviting space.




Look Five: Life In Colour


Look 5

Molly Mahon’s hand-blocked wallpapers and fabrics are unalloyed joy – and never more so than when layered in in the bathroom.




Look Six: Haute Boheme


Look 6

Darkly glamourous and seductive, this is the kind of bathroom in which to relax ovcr a glass of champagne and a book of poetry.




Look Seven: Life’s A Peach


Look 7

We love this graphic look and the pop of peachy colour from the perfectly square tiles.




Look Eight: Acid House


Look 8

Ben Pentreath’s bathroom is a masterclass in how to use bright yellow in the bathroom for a shot of sunny joy.




Look Nine: Beam Me Up


Look 9

For a full medieval rustic look, beams and wonky walls are advised. And yet you can still channel look without the house to match.




Look Ten: Deco Delight


Look 10

Nothing oozes glamour like an Art Deco bathroom. This one, executed in a kaleidoscope of golds, is a particular triumph.
