green apple

This is one to wake you up. I can just imagine stumbling in here first thing in the morning and having my eyes opened for me. I'm not sure how flattering the green paint would be for your skin tone, but it certainly does have a dramatic impression. I especially like how it's paired with the bold mirror, but I think the sink is a little much-- it muddles the strength of the other elements. Still, it's quite a bathroom.

This serene bathroom has ghostly traces of Versailles. It's not overwhelming, just barely contrasting, but the impact is gorgeous. The gently gradated tones of lavender-gray are perfect for this room. Lush, light, snowy-white drapes add to an already ethereal atmosphere.

ultramarine

I've always liked bathrooms that were mostly tiled, but I've never seen one done in such a bold color before. This violet-blue is especially attractive, delicately trimmed in ivory and navy blue. Inconspicuous, the dreamy seascape painting is high above the line of eyesight; it's almost like clouds. Even the furnishings are particularly pleasing, old-fashioned and classic.

bricks and delicacy

My first reaction to this? Weird... cool!!
Who has a brick walled-bathroom? More importantly, who would think to finish it in delicate, robin's egg blue trim? The combination is so unexpectedly pretty. Finally, the bright pedestal sink is played up by the setting-- it gleams. This styling took some creativity, and I love the results.

attractive touches

While this is a perfectly cozy, bright bathroom, it's the little details that set this one apart and above most. The overall colors are solidly good, a clean white and a cool blue, along with the black-paned windows (I guess that's a recurring pro in my book). The tiny red borders on the tiles are perfectly proportioned, and in a surprising color, considering the setting. The antique green chair is truly charming-- a gentle accent that still glows.

all floaty

If you're not especially self-conscious, this would be a spectacular bathing room. The place practically glistens with the pretty white trim detailing the walls, the subtly guilded counters, and the marble of the bathtub and tile floor. I like the Greek pattern on the tiles; it grounds the airy room. This is a wonderfully glamorous environment; I like how it isn't a huge open space, since those can feel pretty odd as a bathroom. Well-proportioned and still luxurious, this has got to be one of my favorite bathrooms I've yet seen.
