To those up-to-date on the most recent, eye-catching home decor trends, a white bathroom may seem like an ultra-safe option. But, an all-white bathroom can communicate cleanliness, luster and polished simplicity in a way few other designs can. A no-nonsense look that generates a feeling of serenity, the white bathroom is a certified classic.

Pearly white subway tiles installed on a wall, a vintage ivory vanity and pigment-less cabinetry can all make a white bathroom truly shine and sparkle. Highlighted by tiling, quality furnishings and metal or wood accents, white bathrooms have certainly captured the attention of countless homeowners and designers. And, it’s easy to see why. With the right touches, a somewhat dull bathroom can transform into a bright and relaxing spa, perfect for a night soaking in the tub.

And just because it’s white, doesn’t mean it has to be boring. There are plenty of creative ways to turn your bathroom into a personal oasis. Install tiles with geometric patterns, a one-of-a-kind pendant light or an antique pedestal sink to help add texture, dimension and functionality. If you’re going for a more modern look, opt for glossy lacquer cabinets and touches of soft grays. For those inclined toward a more lived-in, farmhouse style, consider incorporating a vanity in a warm wood, shiplap panels or a stone or wood-polished side table.

Still not convinced? We’ve rounded up 27 spaces to demonstrate the invigorating appeal of an all-white bathroom designed with style and finesse.
