1 — A modern reclaimed bathroom
A large bathroom with trendy decor can be adapted to a narrower space (source: Castorama) What a stamp! Classic and industrial styles combine perfectly here. With large white subway tiles on the walls, like those found at Ace de Tiles, black and white cement on the floor, and the classic black and white duo evenly distributed between the ceiling, shower fixtures, towel racks… and decor. The vintage and raw sink cabinet is highlighted by its green color that awakens the entire decoration.

The good idea: Drawers – shelves and ceiling-mounted
Shop for decorative and storage solutions in your bathroom (source: Castorama) To keep the space clean, opt for a unique industrial-style wardrobe, like this model from La Redoute. Play with the tips: the wall-mounted shelf at the ceiling acts as a long wall shelf — well spotted! And the reclaimed dresser, repainted in the same shade as the sink cabinet, keeps daily care products within reach.
2 — A cozy cabin bathroom
The bathroom as a home within a home (source: Delpha) Too bland, pink and blue? This arrangement proves that the combination can still have style. In fact, it’s the combination of amber orange and pastel pink with muted blue and gray-beige that energizes the bathroom. On the structure, the shape of the ridge is emphasized by geometric lines such as those of the triangular patterned rug, ultra-trendy this season. Everything is designed to make this small room spacious and comfortable: a plan with a distant sink, hanging furniture, sloped shower.
The good idea: The “sit-stand” vanity
The vanity is once again very trendy in the bathroom (or in the bedroom). It comes in many styles, here modern and space-saving (source: Delpha) The vanity space is designed to be used standing or sitting. It consists of both a horizontal niche that serves as a storage and display area; and an open half-column. (Check out all our tips for storing towels) You will see it in the different ideas we propose here: the wall-mounted base is very trendy in the bathroom. Here, it is defined by a golden strip, as for the decoration of a living room.
3 — An exotic shower room
Like an outdoor bathroom… We love the combination of wood and foliage effect. Even small, it looks spacious. Porcelain stoneware mosaic from Barwolf at €64.80 per square meter
Ready for a tropical shower? The desires for escape, travel, and nature can be realized in the bathroom. Incorporate foliage and green plants, wood, warm colors, tiles that evoke the moucharabieh… We love: the green jungle mosaic from Barwolf. For the shower tray, check out Bosnor’s side.
The good idea: plants in the bathroom
Succulents, spider plants, pothos, ferns, or kentia are plants that integrate well into a bathroom (source: Cedeo) The green color and patterns evoking lush nature already create a very rejuvenating outdoor atmosphere. More specifically, real green plants are beneficial and play a key role in your well-being.
We also love: panoramic forest wallpaper
Beautiful color combination in green-earth-white-black, for a well-balanced bathroom decoration Wallpaper Widescreen Forest Remors €352
Yes, wallpaper can be an integral part of bathroom renovation. It allows you to enjoy a beneficial view of a forest at eye level. This “horizon” effect is achieved by installing a border — another way to create a wall base, here in powdery pastel pink. Of course, the floor and furniture are wooden, to stay on theme. And to add a touch of originality: two kokedamas in the shower. So pretty! Muraem offers, for example, waterproof wallpaper for wet areas.
4 — A soft and tonic bathroom at the same time, in terracotta
Unlike traditional white and blue, terracotta color brings warmth to the bathroom (source: Kinedo) Let’s put terracotta in the bathroom. This key shade of the bohemian atmosphere, a star color trend of 2021, brings warm and soft sunlight — a softness found in the curved lines of the freestanding bathtub and in the flooring. Developing your bathroom like a small lounge for relaxation is the big trend for couples and singles.
The good idea: niches as discreet storage and decoration
The current major trend in renovation: integrated wall niches. They allow you to rhythm and air out the room, and their bulky effect is undeniable, one of the many storage tips we have listed for you. In a bathroom, you can dedicate one to her, the other to him.
5 — A cabin bathroom with sliding doors
A super discreet bathroom! Vernici tiles, the m2 €52.50
Optimized as desired, this mini-bathroom includes the shower corner on the left, the toilet on the right, and the sink cabinet in the center. The round mirror, a must-have in today’s bathrooms, finds a discreet echo in the handles of the shutter closures. Picpus, Decotec, small footprint, ideal for small spaces of 2 to 3 m2 — its sink is generous and available in 31 finishes. We love the subway tiles in vertical installation: this yellow wakes up and brings a smile!
Another idea: the black and white industrial cabin
Choose the glass door if you prefer to create an impression of space (source: Decotec) Underground tiles, cement floor tiles, and glass door: a few square meters are enough and there’s even a bathtub in this charming XS bathroom. Here’s a second example of a successful cabin bathroom, adjacent to the master bedroom. In both cases, the door allows for both real privacy and separation of areas.
6 — A fresh and young bathroom: neon!
A super design and affordable bathroom (source: Tarkett) Fresh and clever, this small bathroom for students or young couples is built under the eaves: like the cozy cabin bathroom (point 2), the shower is built under the slope, but it is long and spacious enough. On the floor, a black marble print linoleum is both practical, pleasant to the touch, and easy to install. And then it’s the coral neon color that awakens the room: it is applied to the custom sink cabinet, on a wall panel housing a bench, and… on the tile joints.
The good idea: colored tile joints
The red color code in decor awakens an impersonal atmosphere: joints, shower curtain, and echo of bath linen (source: IKEA) There are alternatives to white or sand-colored joints, often chosen to harmonize the whole. To create an original and cost-effective effect, opt for simple white square tiles — the simplest model ever, and join in with color, with these products offered by Aces de Tiles, for example, to create contrast. Here you have an example in neon coral, and another in red: it is also possible in blue, yellow, green, purple, pink, and even black. Of course, accessories can join the dance: shower curtain in the same tones, bath linen, and even hygiene products… Have fun getting into the details.
7 — A recycled retro bathroom that’s so girly
Shop to give a vintage look to the bathroom (source: Castorama) In rentals, the possibilities for renovation on the existing are limited. Yet, there are simple solutions that can beautify the space: against a matte background of gray-taupe square tiles and white furniture, play the vintage decor card. Among the quick and minimally invasive decor tips, introducing a small folding garden table and its matching chair: here’s a charming corner vanity. Add a compilation of small antique mirrors, a few touches of old pink, a bouquet of dried flowers, home wear in the tones of the room, a washed linen curtain to hide storage spaces… And there you go!
The good idea: a DIY nature jewelry holder.
**13An easy DIY to hang your necklaces, bracelets, and earrings within reach (source: Castorama) A thick branch collected during a walk in the forest, a few J-shaped hooks: enough to display your jewelry, keeping them within reach. We love repurposing hanging plant pots to place hair accessories or earrings, for example. It’s up to you to create your personalized nature decoration!
8 — A marble printed bathroom
A bathroom like in a hotel, between design and light Castorama wall tiles with marble effect at €15.01 per square meter
It creates a luxurious atmosphere while staying close to the legendary white tiles of the bathroom — a symbol of purity and cleanliness: the XL marble slab is a strong trend and pairs perfectly with wood effect tiles: it’s a duo to create also in the shower cabin, with complete sobriety and elegance.
The good idea: The green & marble duo
Introducing a wave effect movement, by the bathtub, with a broken stick tile (or “chevron”) (source: VitRA) Want to bring in color? Green and marble go well together! The installation of intense green chevron tiles awakens the rhythm of the room, while the rest of the decor remains “chic classic.” It’s also a beautiful way to delineate the bathtub area. The whole is particularly relaxing.
9 — A Zen bathroom
Chic jungle print for a bathroom that invites relaxation (source: Acquabella) To vary from the chevron installation and give movement, discreetly, while having a very zen atmosphere, the alternative is the free geometric line. The collection of extra-flat trays like these Aquabella models sets the tone by offering wide asymmetrical bands — they are available in several colors (black, gray, terracotta, beige, green). The lines even continue their course on the walls, in a wall base in a duo of greens. The suspended cabinet has a minimal footprint, for a fluid space.
The good idea: natural light and green plants
We love the French window with a fixed leaf, which brings in a lot of natural light, and allows for the presence of hanging plants and pots on the floor.
10 — A pink bathroom, the trendy color
Satin ambiance for this pink and black bathroom, modern elegance… (source: Mobalpa) Pink is definitely a big trend in the bathroom: cheerful and feminine, it can come in many shades, from pastel to fuchsia to coral pink-orange. The total look is possible, but pairing it with another color is more advisable: with black, what elegance! It’s the star couple of the year. In this bathroom, we also love the layout of the space, perfectly optimized, designed, and airy while being soft.
The good idea: Coral pink and white
Zellige and paint, what a look! (source: Archik) White zelliges like these pieces offered by Leroy Merlin, and coral pink paint like that offered by Deco Home, with just a touch of black on the integrated faucets… In this project, we love the interplay of matte and glossy materials, traditional and modern, curves and straight lines.
What styles do you like? And which model are you completely falling for? There are so many beautiful things to do in a bathroom. It’s a room that is increasingly decorated, expanded, well thought out… Happy renovating!
