11 bathrooms so fabulous you’ll need a timer for your timeout

Some old, some new, some borrowed, some blue—ah, not your traditional English wedding guide, but a guide to designing your next fashionable bathroom. Architecture+Design flips through its archives, scouting some of the best bathroom spaces and adding a few fresh ones to the mix. Scroll through eleven standout bathrooms that made it onto this list!

A nature’s outpost

It’s as if you’re amidst nature—oh wait, you actually are. A bathroom with stone-clad walls, a roof almost open to the sky, and a floor that’s literally sand. A casual seating area overlooks the natural surroundings, as this shower space continues to offer seclusion. One can’t miss the shower that cleverly mimics a branch in this space by Earthitects.

A playful contrast

Contrary to common belief, this bathroom by Design Doodle is as chaotic as it gets. And we love it. There are riots of prints synchronising their flow to make the walls come alive. It’s perfect for saying goodbye to your morning dizziness and is perfectly balanced by a peachy undertone.

Perfectly patterned

Inspired by this bathroom by Humming Tree, we are “blocking” the blocks exclusively for our bathrooms—nowhere else, just the bathroom. This space, with its pastel pink and stark black, evokes bold Barbie core vibes with a hint of mystique.

One with a view

A fun way to avoid feeling confined within four walls, Kirti Dodeja cuts a block that allows you to connect with the outside world without missing out on what’s happening while taking care of business. The brown tiles not only provide contrast but also harmonise beautifully with the views in this space.

Back in the day

This is the something blue we talked about in the beginning. Just out of a storybook, this space by ACE Associates takes you back in time, where sitting at your vanity and using a dhoop to dry your hair was no shock. Carved furniture, antique lights, and traditional flooring—this is what you might be looking for in your next bathroom space.

Dark and moody

Photo-copied. This bathroom by Karen Karapetian looks the same in colour as it does in a black-and-white photo. Can it be any cooler? Daydream in colour as you unwind in your private sanctuary.

Tiled to taste

A Mediterranean dream, this space by Hohm Design Studio is impossible to look away from! Patterned tiles dance across the floor and grace the basin, while warm wood makes up the cabinets. A window hangs like a picture, perfectly framing the stunning vistas outside. And let’s not forget the abundance of natural light that streams in, bouncing off the glossy floor and lighting up the entire space!

A regal affair

A statement light brightens up this bathroom by Hipcouch. An otherwise black canvas bursts to life with the golden-framed mirror, adding a touch of regalia. Clean lines flow throughout the space, making it both functional and visually pleasing!

Rainbow burst

I want to be a kid again! This bathroom by The Orange Lane turns fixtures into art. Those adorable plunger-shaped lights—can it get any more fun? The sea life-themed wallpaper and pops of bright pink make this space feel lively and playful!

Prints on the wall

Want to learn about the wonders of nature? Come to this bathroom by Minnie Bhatt, where kids can have their own GK quiz every morning while brushing their teeth, thanks to the playful wallpaper! The bold red statement mirror ensures you stay focused on business while enjoying the fun that surrounds.

A floral fantasy

It’s dark, it’s mystic, it’s floral—welcome to a bathroom by Quirk Studio! The magic lies in the carefully chosen shades and the intricate floral print on the wall. This space embodies everything the designers stand for: a pinch of quirk. A bit botanical, a bit bold, this bathroom is as daring as its designers!
