Gather ideas for your own home with these light, airy retreats that were designed with ultimate luxury in mind.
Invite the outdoors in
Layered textures and materials give any space a rich look. In this bath, the architect combined reeded wormy-oak cabinets and wide-plank wall paneling with square tumbled-stone floor tiles. Half walls offer privacy but prevent the room from feeling cramped. Another neat idea: the freestanding tub surrounded by a “moat” of smooth river rocks.

Make a splash
Lustrous mosaic tiles make a splashy statement and turn this bath-shower combination into a work of art. Hire a professional to design a graphic motif or a mural to give your space a one-of-a-kind makeover. Translucent walls usher in light and views, while the blue-and-white color scheme reflects the surrounding sea and sky.

Choose wood for warmth
Wood walls and nautical light fixtures give this room ship-style elegance. Cedar panels in lieu of tile simplify construction.

Go natural
In this beachside bath, the sunken Japanese soaking tub takes center stage. Other streamlined elements include a glass vessel sink and a medicine cabinet hidden behind a hinged mirror framed in pecky cypress. Creamy stone walls and floors lend a cool feel no matter how steamy it is outside.

Opt for alfresco
Forget a quick rinse in an outdoor shower ― opt for a long soak under the stars. Turn a private deck into an outdoor bath with a freestanding tub and pedestal sink. Add personal style to a claw-foot tub with a colorful hand-painted design inspired by the sea. Or use wire and hot glue to frame a mirror with a collection of driftwood.

Keep it cool
A spacious soaking tub and a large walk-in shower with body sprays and a rain-style showerhead provide refreshment after a day at the beach. Individual vanities ensure plenty of room for the morning routine.

Open the space
This bath’s glass shower wall keeps the room airy and spacious by letting in natural light. Smooth pebble-stone flooring feels good underfoot and brings a bit of the beach indoors.

Go with the flow
Rounded edges and a tropical color scheme turned this bath into an oasis. Scallop shells frame the master bath mirror, and mini aqua tiles line the sink and spa tub. The wavy lines of the tiled surfaces create the feel of moving water.

Tub with a view
A raised floor, expansive windows and a claw-foot tub create a secluded retreat. Classic subway-tile wainscoting and subtle pastels allow the panoramic views to take center stage.
