apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This bathroom could easily feel sterile except for the warm woods and comfy textures of the towels and the baskets on the shelves. If you currently have mismatched fixtures in the bathroom (like the towel bar is chrome but the faucet is brass) it's worth checking out what it would cost to change one of them. Having all the same finishes helps to tie together a space and will make it feel bigger.

This all white bathroom also avoids feeling sterile because of the textures on the walls, the addition of some softer gray tile and the details of the cabinets (they aren't just 90 degree angles). It also helps that the white surfaces aren't glossy or shiny which would also bounce more light and sound around and make it feel empty.

Not quite neutral, we wouldn't have considered purple or such dark grays, but we applaud the effort, this bathroom looks sleek and modern and because it is well lit, doesn't feel like a cave.

What we love is that you can borrow any of these ideas to hep make your bathroom feel a little bit more luxurious. See all the Ikea Products in these pictures right here
