Best New Bathrooms Ideas

AGATE WALLS

A New England home's powder area kept its vintage corner sink but got a brand new look with Robert Crowder & Co. marbleized wallpaper and a classic Egon Hillebrand mirror. The original wainscoting was repainted in Farrow & Ball's Plummet.

NATURAL WOOD SHIPLAP

In a Charleston guest house, the master bath's sinks are by Kohler, the unlacquered brass fittings are by Watermark Designs and the shower is wrapped in Alabama white marble. The sconces are 1930s Italian. The walls are lined with a finish in shiplap.

SOFT SIMPLICITY

At a sleek Hamptons house designed by Amy Lau, the master bath has a Wetstyle bath with a Dornbracht faucet.

OLD WORLD INSPIRATION

Get style for ages by incorporating antiques, like delicate Bagues-style sconces, a Baroque mirror plus a French-limestone vanity. The finds create a sense of fantasy without leaving the house.

SPANISH COLONIAL

In a powder room, a classic chest from Provence adds a curvaceous comparison to the picture tiles, first to the Richmond, Virginia, house. Walls painted in the China White of Benjamin Moore.
