Good design is all about balancing form and function. And this countdown of the most-saved new bathroom photos on Houzz shows how to get the formula right. You’ll find practical ideas for wet rooms and other layout strategies, as well as stylish looks for vanities, showers, bathtubs and other elements.
10. Elemental Elegance
A linear fireplace blazes in this Florida primary bathroom by Design West, adding warmth to the room’s cool, contemporary design. Below it, a rectangular soaking tub sits on a mosaic “rug” set into a larger-format tile. Nearby, a floating dark-stained wood vanity and a matching wraparound wood feature help support elegant slabs of marble for the countertop and backsplash. Meanwhile, a mother-of-pearl wallpaper on the fireplace and starfish decor on a ledge lend subtle nods to this home’s Miami location.

9. Woodsy Retreat
Rich walnut and organic textures create cozy ambiance in this Minnesota bathroom by LiLu Interiors. While soaking in a dramatic curved bathtub, one can take in the tranquil view of the Prairie home’s forested setting.

8. Crystal Clear
Andrea Schumacher Interiors chose a simple white-and-gray color scheme for this Denver bathroom. The palette lets luxe details like a mini chandelier, leaded glass windows, glass knobs and silver and gold accents shine. The bathroom nods to the 1909 home’s Tudor Revival architecture with a footed tub, furniture-like built-ins and herringbone-patterned marble floors.

7. Concrete Ideas
Two concrete sinks set in an eastern black walnut vanity and a coordinating earth-tone concrete tub lend a handmade look to this California bathroom by Lori K Design Studio. The low-curb shower’s two corner windows fill the space with light and verdant views, and the room’s mix of gold, pewter and copper accents gleams against the neutral backdrop.

6. Fluted and Fair
Natalia Avalos Interiors filled this 83-square-foot Danville, California, bathroom with neutral colors and textured surfaces and materials, including a herringbone-pattern floor and a custom reeded-front white oak vanity. The vanity’s Blizzard white quartz countertop has a modern extra-thick mitered edge that complements the room’s more traditional elements.

5. Tranquil and Textured
In Tiburon, California, a bathroom by Angela Grace Design gets much of its earthy, organic energy from a strongly grained wooden single vanity topped by a heavily veined stone countertop. The tiled floor’s herringbone pattern and the mirror frame’s soft geometry contrast with the natural materials’ abstract patterns.

4. Black, White and Glam
Bess Wiersema of Studio3 Design covered the steam shower in this Los Gatos, California, bathroom with dramatic Calacatta Belgia marble slabs, right down to its heated bench. Offering a classic soak, a black-and-white double-ended slipper tub from Victoria + Albert sits in the corner, drenched in sunshine and leafy views.

3. Moody Blue
In this transitional Chicago-area bathroom by Lauren Collander Interiors, silver walls and geometric-patterned gray-and-white flooring (which continue inside the extra-low-curb shower) add a contemporary twist to the classic white-and-blue color scheme. Open shelves lighten the look of the dark vanity without sacrificing storage space.

2. Electric Eclectic
Ellen Whitehead of DEW Design went bold in this La Grange Park, Illinois, bathroom, covering the walls of its wet room with Zellige-style green glass tiles. She closed the area off with a glass divider screen-printed with a black grid. Traditional black-and-white hexagonal tiles on the floor, a custom walnut vanity and a black-bottomed claw-foot cast-iron tub befit the home’s turn-of-the-20th-century architecture.

1. Inside the Lines
Grotto vibes result from a combination of dark green wall paint (Weekend Upstate by Backdrop), a waterfall-inspired back shower wall, limestone-like porcelain floor tiles and a natural white oak vanity in this Raleigh, North Carolina, bathroom by 2SL Design Build Collaborative. The drawers’ long black pulls echo the grid on the glass enclosure and provide contrast to the light neutral tones.
