10 Fabulously Fanciful Bathrooms
Get an eyeful of what happens when creativity meets courage in a typically plain utilitarian room
Houzz Contributor. I am a former magazine editor specializing in travel and design. I just completed my first remodel, turning my crumbling 1941 kitchen into a beauty of grays, whites and natural wood. If I could, I'd sleep on the countertop. That's how much I love it.

I had so much fun looking at living rooms that broke the mold, I decided to do it again — this time with way-outside-the-box bathrooms.
While some of us are willing to go a little crazy with a shower curtain or colorful towels, these homeowners just went crazy. And the results are wildly imaginative and different and fun.
They are not for everyone, but they do show a lot of courage and creativity, two qualities that never go out of style.

Covering a powder room floor to ceiling in dramatic red wallpaper is daring enough for most people. But when you add a backlit alabaster vanity and chandelier sconces, you've created an altar.

This bathroom in this gym pavilion is so fun, but it also has a lovely, light-filled simplicity that makes it beautiful. It would be so much easier to get my kids into the bath if they could swing in.

I love the over-the-top gilded look in this little space. Playing with scale and style can produce unexpected and lovely results.
This dark, metallic bathroom with its lit wall of figurines and clean lines is high-drama glamour. So Miami, don't you think?

If King Henry VIII ever bathed, he did it in a room like this. Spare, grand and fit for a king.

| All this marble, gilt and drapery is more Napolean's style. |

Luxury meets Wild West in a bathroom that combines natural materials, like rough-cut stone, with antlers and some very nice hardware.

More Western flair. Raw steel countertops and old license plates. It's like the cleanest, most elegant truck stop bathroom ever.

A clear bathtub in an industrial white bathroom. Calming and hilarious all at once.

I do love that see through tub. Though I'm not quite in shape to want a side view of me showing. On the other hand, parts of you would be quite perky ; )
Some great ideas that can be used on a smaller (and less expensive) scale.
My own upstairs bathroom would be pretty unremarkable if not for the 12-foot vaulted ceilings and large skylight. That room accounted for about 40% of my decision to buy this house and I have been fantasizing about how I'm going to redecorate it ever since. Mark my words, in five years or so that bathroom is going to be featured in ideabooks like this one.
Fun bathrooms.
Sigh, it does look like one of those things that is cooler in premise than in reality...
Terri - what about a hurricane? Or a toilet seat falling from an airplane (how the main character died on 'Dead Like Me')? Or a rat - those do climb...
Calkelley - I think you are suffering from Houzz overdose.
and wow, Calkelly, I never even THOUGHT about a toilet seat falling out of the sky. The rat might be a problem. Our cat refused to move with us and adopted the next door neighbors instead.
Bubba, I can't leave anything open for a minute, I have a lovely family of Magpies who will just walk in and stand beside the fridge waiting to be fed. If the door is closed they use their beaks to knock. Would be nice if you could housetrain them though.
