Ask any designer and they’ll tell you: Kitchens and baths are ultimately what make a home. That’s why when it comes to renovations and remodels, those are the most popular spaces to invest in. On that note, make no mistake: Upgrading a kitchen or bath will cost you, but in the end, the results will be ever so worth it. To prove it, today we’re focusing on bathroom makeover ideas. No matter your design aesthetic—coastal grandma, modern maven, color lover, or subtle minimalist—ahead you’ll find over a dozen different ways to spruce up the bathroom(s) in your home.
Even if you don’t copy the look tile for tile, let these beautifully designed bathrooms serve as inspiration for your own dream salle de bains. Perhaps you’ll love the vanity from one space while fawning over the shower from another, or maybe you’ll rethink an all-white aesthetic in favor of a brighter motif. Whatever the case may be, your dream bathroom waits. Here, our 20 best bathroom makeover ideas to spark some inspiration in your own home.
