9 Stunning Kitchens with Teal Kitchen cabinets

22-01-2025

If you’re looking for inspiration for your kitchen remodel, a bold paint color on the cabinetry can help you create a space that you’ll absolutely love. Something like “Gulfstream” by Sherwin Williams or “Vintage Teal” by Behr can transform the feel of your kitchen, setting the stage for the rest of the house.

Though the process of picking just the right color can be intimidating, with a bit of inspiration and pre-planning, you can achieve a home-run kitchen renovation without a design team or contractor. The list below contains the most inspiring ideas for ridding yourself of a boring, run-of-the-mill kitchen and instead embracing a fun and exciting house.

Muted Teal Kitchen Cabinets Paired With Gray Countertops and Light Wood Elements

This kitchen consists of a peaceful blend of teal, gray, white, and light wood. A perfect balance between sophisticated style and casual life, this room sets the tone for the rest of the house and creates a relaxed environment for guests to feel welcome.

The herringbone floor pattern leads the eye into the cabinets, which feature textured doors on the upper level and an appealing smooth surface with raised handles on the lower. The gray stone countertop pairs well here, providing a solid visual anchor to this kitchen.

Marble Countertops, Tan Walls, and Dark Flooring With Teal Kitchen Cabinetry

A very similar color palette to the previous example, this kitchen also incorporates marble countertops and a tile backsplash that reaches just above the top of the cabinets. The large kitchen island provides both additional counter space and extra seating, while the brass faucet pairs well with the cabinet hardware.

A high ceiling allows for a graceful chandelier to be added, with a range of sizes that will fit the room without being overbearing. Glass cabinet doors or fully open cabinets can add a touch of luxury and elegance to the kitchen as well.

A Fully Teal Kitchen With Matching Cabinets, Countertops, and Backsplash

This dark teal kitchen is a bold design that truly showcases the beauty of this paint color. By using the same shade for the cabinets, countertops, and backsplash, you can create a dramatic look that’s unique to your kitchen.

White walls are the ideal backdrop for these types of interiors, supporting the color without distracting from it. As we’ve seen, light-toned natural wood accessories and brass finishes are excellent complements to teal, and so is stainless steel — all of which are featured here.

A Subdued Teal Shade Paired With Natural Wood Flooring and White Countertops

Keeping on trend with other teal kitchen examples we’ve seen so far, this kitchen maintains the popular combination of teal cabinets, natural wood flooring, sandy-colored walls, and white accents. Bright, natural lighting fills the kitchen with a cheerful and welcoming air, making the compact design feel larger.

Pale gold hardware and a stainless steel oven bring subtle dimension into the design. The thin white countertop with a built-in backsplash is a great source of contrast, especially when set against the paint on the wall instead of stretching to the underside of the upper cabinets.

Combine Multiple Shades of Teal and Wood for a Dimensional Kitchen Experience

Wood countertops, a bold black range hood, and a lighter color on the island make this kitchen remodel a one-of-a-kind inspiration.

The wainscoting and trim around the doorway is a pale gray-blue that makes the dark teal pop. Multiple shades of wood and teal mixed with a blend of materials and design aesthetics make for a kitchen full of visual interest that feels lived-in and homey.

Dark Teal Cabinets With a Farmhouse Sink and Rich Brown Walls

This rustic kitchen showcases very dark teal cabinets set against chocolate brown walls. The resulting dramatic and moody environment is offset by the country charm of the farmhouse sink, antique faucet, and decorative plates.

A large window helps to brighten the room, and the overall feel of this kitchen is one of a traditional home from a bygone era. Linens placed throughout the area strategically complete the look.

Dark Flooring and a Vibrant Teal Shade from Floor to Ceiling

To create a seamless, eye-catching kitchen, experiment with using the same paint along the cabinets and countertop, across the backsplash and shelving, and up the walls to the ceiling. You can opt for a lighter shade or different materials for your project, such as substituting a tile backsplash in the same color or trading gold hardware and accents for silver.

The dark floor enhances the intensity of this kitchen and is a great choice for those with children as it is typically easier to keep looking clean.

Painted Wood and Rustic Accessories for a Dark Teal Kitchen Remodel

This dark, rustic, and earthy kitchen gives the appearance of an apothecary and is reminiscent of old fairytales designed to keep children from straying too far into the woods. Textured wood panel cabinets are painted in the same teal tone as the walls, and a deep, nearly black floor adds to the drama.

Antique accessories, such as uniquely shaped glass bottles and copper cookware, pair beautifully with the hanging plants, bare bulb light fixture, and bold painting above the stove. The aged copper appearance of the countertops and backsplash is the perfect finishing touch here, though wood countertops and a farmhouse sink could work as well.

Elegant Gold Tones and a Unique Cabinetry Layout in a Two-Tone Teal Kitchen

Finally, for the last of our teal kitchen ideas, we have a more modern kitchen style with a layout that’s ideal for smaller spaces. Rich wood flooring leads you to deep teal-colored cabinets that are bursting with life.

White marble countertops and walls make this shade of teal pop and create a focal point for the kitchen. Upper cabinets in a very pale off-white color with a blue undertone provide more storage without distracting from the lower level. A subtle tile facade on those cabinet doors is a discreet source of texture, and shiny gold hardware completes the look.

A minimal flat fully decorated in tones of white

19-01-2025

While a completely white color palette might sound boring to some of you, I think this beautiful apartment (for sale via Bolaget) proves that you don’t necessarily need colors to make an interior look cozy and inviting. The color palette of this space is mainly white, mixed with natural wood tones and a few pops of beige.

The off-white kitchen with beige limestone countertops stands out against the crisp white walls, while the white sofas in the living room blend in with the wall color. The big walnut coffee table adds a beautiful contrast to the living room setting, which is reflected in the full-size mirror on the wall opposite the windows.

The bedroom shares the same color palette as the other rooms, with a mixture of white and off-white bedding on the bed and a large off-white custom wardrobe spread across the wall.

The two white sofas in the living room stand out on top of the off-white living room rug adding a cozy texture to the space. The organically shaped walnut coffee table and the walnut String TV shelf add a few darker tones to the setting.

The large arched mirror on the wall opposite the windows makes the space look much bigger. Along with the wall lamp in between the windows, it’s also the only wall decor present in this space.

An off-white kitchen with beige limestone countertops

The minimal and modern off-white kitchen stands out sightly against the white kitchen walls for a subtle effect. The lack of hardware on the cabinets enhances the minimal look.

A round dining table in the middle of the space is paired with a white fabric lampshade and off-white dining chairs that match the modest palette on this asymmetric floor plan.

The kitchen is custom-built into an awkward corner by the window, allowing for ample countertop space and a spot for the coffee machine.

The other side of the kitchen includes a low cupboard paired with a mirror on the wall, reflecting the daylight into this low-lit area of the kitchen.

Two oak wood wall shelves by the table are perfect for keeping glasses and a few subtle decor pieces.

A white bedroom with a built-in wardrobe

Following the rest of the apartment, the bedroom has a clean and minimal interior style as well. The arched mirror reflects the other room and gives the space some dimension.

The bed is made with a combination of white and off-white textiles, paired with beige black-out curtains, a teddy fabric headboard, and a fabric lampshade.

The custom wardrobe goes wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling, allowing lots of storage space. The cabinetry is the same as the one in the kitchen for a cohesive effect.

The curved walls of the bathroom are perfect to include a shower behind the pillar. The vertical subway tiles accentuate the height of the bathroom space.

Modern Attic Flat with a glass Partition separating the Bedroom

18-01-2025

This beautifully renovated attic apartment for sale in Sweden (Styled by Linnéa H. Manaberi, photographed by Anders Bergstedt for Alvhem) has gorgeous windows overlooking the rooftops of the neighborhood. The living kitchen features dark hardwood flooring paired with a white and black interior decor for a contrasting look.

The bedroom is separated from the living kitchen with a glass partition that helps to maintain an open look, while still offering some sort of room division.

The black dining table and chairs offer a small dining spot overlooking the rooftops, while also adding a beautiful contrast with the white area rug, white sofa, and off-white kitchen in the space.

The stainless steel faucet and black appliances provide this minimal kitchen with a modern look, while the half-open shelving on the upper area provides a great spot for a few decor pieces.

The kitchen layout continues towards the front door, for optimal use of the floor plan.

17 Black and White Bathroom Ideas for a Contrasting Effect

15-01-2025

Designing a black and white bathroom is a popular choice for renovations, helping to modernize the house and create a more modern bathroom appearance. However, there are endless options and styles to choose from, which can quickly become overwhelming and make an already large undertaking seem that much bigger.

To make the task of finding inspiration just a bit easier, you can find the most inspiring black-and-white bathroom ideas in the list below to get that custom look you’ve been dreaming of.

Make White Tiles Pop With Black Grout and a Black Ceiling

This bathroom uses a combination of different titles for a unique visual texture. Vertical white subway tile and much smaller square tile both use dark grout, resulting in a cohesive appearance.

The large, rimless mirror strengthens the sleek look of the room, while the two-faucet sink mimics the style of a double vanity without the extra bulk. Silver plumbing and natural wood and brown accents complete the look.

Bring Visual Texture into the Space by Blending Tile Patterns

Similarly to the previous photo, this bathroom pairs two different tiles for a chic visual appeal. The black hexagonal tile floor and herringbone tile walls with their contrasting grout create a unique black-and-white bathroom design.

Black shower hardware, interesting decor pieces, and fluffy white towels decorate the space while pairing well with the warm wood finish of the vanity.

Create a Dramatic Bathroom With Black Walls and White Cabinets

This dark and moody black and white bathroom incorporates multiple different materials in its design. Dark wood and exposed beams along the roof mirror the rich wood flooring.

The uncommon elongated black tile and dark grout provide a dramatic contrast to the bright white vanity that’s wall-mounted to create a floating effect. Long pull handles on the cabinets also serve to pique interest, especially when combined with the uniquely designed mirror and elegant lighting.

Embrace a Classic Look With Checkerboard Flooring and Dark Wood Accents

A black-and-white color scheme can help a small bathroom make a big impact. White tiles line the walls, creating a classic style that’s only enhanced by the checkerboard floor. The white sink and shower curtain are balanced well by the black storage cabinet, and the white toilet with a black lid is the perfect bridge between the two.

Silver hardware throughout is the right choice for this space, as is the glass divider separating the shower area from the rest of the room.

Make a Bold Statement With Unique Black and White Tile Throughout the Room

This bold master bathroom is bursting with personality and is a perfect example of how patterns can be used for a unique and dramatic effect. By continuing the design from the floor and along the walls surrounding the bathtub, the eye is immediately drawn to this area as the focal point.

Solid black paint on the adjacent wall creates contrast with the pattern without distracting from it or disturbing the theme. The unique decorative chair is an excellent finishing touch for this bathroom.

Pair White Walls and Ceiling With Black Floor Tile, Trim, and Cabinetry

For a more modern space, try blending different shapes, patterns, and materials within the same bathroom. This example photo uses square white tiles, hexagonal floor tile, a round mirror, and an abstract rug to make a visually appealing bathroom.

Black trim and cabinetry tie in well with the flooring, allowing the room to feel more balanced overall. A few accessories in a new color can bring in an interesting pop or two like the subtle copper tones do here.

Place a Checkerboard Floor, Black Curtain, and Subtle Black Accents in a Solid White Bathroom

Classic white subway tile is an effective tool to brighten a small bathroom with limited lighting. This photo shows how this black and white bathroom packs a lot into minimal square footage, using black accents to provide contrast and depth into the room and prevent the white from becoming overpowering.

The custom shower unit also creates an air of originality, as does the creative placement of the faucet on the vanity.

Use Brass Accents to Bring an Air of Luxury to Your Black and White Bathroom

Similar in style to some of our previous modern black-and-white bathroom ideas, this photo example uses a combination of black hexagonal floor tile and white walls as the base for the space. However, it then builds upon this look for a more custom appearance by using brass hardware throughout.

The almost vintage feel of these items transforms this space from a standard black and white bathroom to a stunning room that will stand the test of time.

Combine Modern and Retro Design Style to Create a Space Unique to Your Home

This bathroom with black marble floor tiles and white walls showcases incredible natural lighting and a freestanding tub perfect for a long, relaxing bath. Light natural wood accents and plant life help to make a refreshing bathroom that anyone will enjoy spending time in. The section of plain white paint along the top of the walls is a great touch, serving as a transition area from the tiles to the ceiling.

Show Off Your Personality With Boldly Patterned Tiles and a Stunning Black Sink

Your black-and-white bathroom doesn’t have to be formulaic in its design. A fun and funky tile floor or walls can make all the difference. This photo example shows a one-of-a-kind dotted tile covering the walls and a stunning black sink used as both an accent piece and an anchor for the space.

Though this look works extremely well in a half bath or powder room setup, it can be even more remarkable in a larger bathroom with a black tub or shower to match.

Lean Into Simplicity With a Black and White Bathroom and Laundry Room Combo

This sleek black and white bathroom combines many of the design elements we’ve seen so far. That being said, unlike the other ideas, this example photo tackles the added complication of designing a bathroom that also has a laundry area included.

Fortunately, a black-and-white bathroom palette can easily handle this challenge. Gray and light tan accents work well in this bathroom, and a mirror with a built-in medicine cabinet can help with storage.

Make Your All-White Bathroom Pop With Minimal Touches of Black

This master bathroom also follows the trend of hexagonal black tile on the floor and white square tile on the walls but with a decently sized bathtub with a built-in shower.

Multiple recessed shelves keep everything that’s frequently used within easy reach, creating a relaxing place to unwind in the bath after a long and stressful day.

Pair a White Marble Shower With Solid Black Fixtures for a Stunning Effect

This white marble with gray veining and bold black hardware results in a remarkably subtle black-and-white bathroom design.

Custom tile work and spotlighting make this shower appear that much more modern. Overall, minimal updates such as this can change the appearance of an entire house without breaking the bank.

Flip Expectations With Dramatic Black Walls and a White Vanity

A bold and moody powder room can be created with a bit of black paint and a stark white floating sink. This black and white bathroom takes a minimalist approach to styling, with a modern faucet and a tall, narrow mirror.

Trimming the window in white paint makes it pop just a bit more while reflecting additional sunlight into the darker space.

Mix Marble With Black Veining and Ceramic Tiles With Black Grout for Visual Appeal

This elegant bathroom with a wall-mounted toilet hides the majority of its plumbing behind wall tiles. A white marble tile floor brings an air of luxury while maintaining a casual vibe. Black paint on the ceiling is an eye-catching choice that truly pays off. Simplicity is key here, and the minimal accessories reflect that well.

Black Subway Tile and Victorian-Style Flooring for an Eye-Catching Bathroom

This black tile with white grout and Victorian-era floor tile pair beautifully to make a stunning black-and-white bathroom that’s sure to turn heads. There’s a faint art deco influence that can be seen here as well, something that has a distinct charm guests will love.

Create the Ultimate Moody Space With Deep Black Walls and a Floating White Vanity

For our final black and white bathroom photo, we’re taking a look at an ultra-modern bathroom with black paint that stops you in your tracks. White marble countertops and white cabinetry on the vanity are the epitome of contrast, drawing the eye into the room.

The slightly ridged texture on the walls makes for a pleasing viewing experience once noticed. Black hardware combined with the crystal clear glass walls makes for a discrete shower, though a tub wouldn’t be totally out of place here either.

The rest of the interior takes on a similar color palette, with neutral elements paired with a few warm wood tones to achieve a warm and cozy effect within this modern loft setting.

18 Yellow Bedroom Ideas to add a Subtle Cheerful Touch

08-01-2025

Whether you’re looking to simply change up the appearance of your bedroom or undertake a full-blown remodel, yellow bedroom ideas should be at the top of your list. This color can evoke feelings of happiness, joy, humor, and spontaneity as well as optimism, mental clarity, and intellect.

From yellow bedding to a yellow headboard or even a single accent wall, this versatile color can make all the difference in your interior design. Below you can find the most gorgeous yellow bedrooms to inspire your next project.

Pair Subtle Yellow Walls With Soft Linens for a Welcoming Environment

Depending on the look you’re going for in the room, there are various shades of yellow that can work well around a bed, especially more pale and subdued tones.

This example bedroom has a relaxed and inviting air, drawing you in and helping you unwind after a stressful day. Soft linens add a touch of visual texture to the room, as does the natural wood flooring.

Match Your Curtains and Walls to Create a Yellow Bedroom That’s Bursting With Personality

This rich, sunny room is the perfect shade of yellow-orange, with big windows and warm wood flooring. In this setting, plain white walls would likely feel far too stark as opposed to inviting and comforting.

The light color palette used for the bedding paired with the dark brown furniture and modern decor is another excellent choice for this room, resulting in a cohesive yellow bedroom that serves as a statement piece for the whole home.

Use Neutral Tones and Shades of White to Showcase the Unique Paint Color on the Walls

This example uses a darker yellow-brown paint as a solid basis for a neutral bedroom. The white half-wall makes for the perfect headboard as well as a storage area for eye-catching decor.

White curtains and light-colored bedding work with the white ceiling to exaggerate the natural light coming from the window, which brightens the space and allows the wall paint to really shine.

Use a Color Palette That Highlights Golden Yellows for a Cheerful, Yet Conservative, Design

This yellow bedroom uses a very similar shade of paint as the previous example, though the overall color scheme is quite different. The flooring is darker and the bed is more subdued, with a gray headboard and reddish-pink-toned pillows and comforter.

Overall, this bedroom is still fun and a showcase of personality, but the space has a more relaxed and casual feeling that some homeowners may prefer.

Pair Off-White and Gray Bedding With Soft Yellow Walls to Create a Neutral Bedroom

This classic yellow bedroom is a prime example of a peaceful sleeping space. The soft yellow paint and medium gray tones create a relaxing space to unwind, something that’s accentuated by the gentle pops of green from plant life.

Task lighting on both sides of the bed is positioned perfectly to facilitate late-night reading without taking up unnecessary space on the nightstands. The plush rug at the foot of the bed completes the cozy look.

Combine Light Yellow Walls and White Bedding for a Neutral Backdrop that Showcases Your Decorating Style

This bedroom uses a variety of similar shades to create a neutral base for decor to shine. Off-white linens and the pale yellow wall color are the perfect blank slate for a wide range of bedroom designs, and this example beautifully displays that.

The throw blanket with primary colors creates an unexpected pop in the otherwise uniform color scheme, and abstract wall art with beige tones ties everything together for a cohesive style.

Use Patterned Wallpaper and Decorative Pillows for Visual Interest

Nothing creates visual interest with minimal effort quite like bedroom wallpaper. This bedroom with yellow floral wallpaper has a certain vintage charm. Minimal decor and a decorative throw pillow enhance this feel while ensuring that the room isn’t overwhelming to the senses.

The result is a naturally bright yellow bedroom that’s a pleasing shade to look at. The single piece of framed artwork is the perfect touch to round out this bedroom design.

Pair Yellow Paint, Brown-Toned Accents, and Cozy Bedding for a Mildly Earthy Bedroom Design

A palette consisting of varying shades of yellow and brown can serve to create an earthy and natural bedroom design that will stand the test of time. These rich, peaceful tones can boost your mood, while the geometric pattern on the rug brings additional visual appeal.

As an added bonus, the curtains starting at the ceiling create an illusion in which the windows seem larger than they are, which in turn makes the room feel more spacious.

Buttery Yellow Walls as the Perfect Complement to a Lively Child’s Room

There’s perhaps no better room for a bold yellow than a children’s bedroom. This cheery and playful bedroom is full of youthful wonder. Striped pillows on the bed are a great touch, however, other patterns would do well here too.

A whimsical mural wouldn’t be out of place here, either, only serving to further the merriment. A few more pops of green, orange, or pink could enhance the brightness of the yellow and accentuate the existing decor.

Yellow-Beige Walls Paired With a Neutral Color Scheme for a Peaceful Bedroom Space

Similar to some of the previous examples we’ve looked at so far, this bedroom uses tan tones throughout to create a neutral bedroom.

The yellow-beige paint complements this style beautifully. Overall, the design of this room blends modern, contemporary, and more traditional elements well, particularly with the peg rail along the wall opposite the bed.

Use Mustard Yellow Paint to Create a Warm and Inviting Bedroom With Subtle Accent Pieces

A golden mustard tone, this yellow bedroom is warm and rich, creating an inviting air. Pale bedding and a similarly colored lantern bring a cozy, casual feel to the room. The shelving above the bed draws the eye further into the bedroom, while the books themselves give off an academic, lived-in vibe.

By turning all the spines to the wall, the natural color of the pages echoes the rest of the room’s palette, completing the look.

Wood Tones and Textured Bedding Pairs Beautifully With Yellow-Brown Walls

This bedroom uses the same shade of paint across all the walls, trim, and ceiling, including the bathroom door.

This creates a unique, uniform look that places the color front and center. Warm brown and tan tones complement it well, and the blankets, sheets, and pillows used on the bed act as a focal point with the textures anchoring the space.

Bedrooms in an uncommon shape always pose several design challenges. One way to tackle this issue is to lean into the one-of-a-kind nature of the room.

Provide Contrast to Dark, Industrial-Style Accents With a Happy Color Like Yellow

For the final example in our list of yellow bedroom ideas, we have a no-frills bedroom with yellow as the counter to industrial-style decor. The resulting contrast is similar to that of black and white, but much softer with a gentler transition.

This allows dark, dramatic artwork to be prominently highlighted, as seen here. Mismatched pillows draw in the eye, while task lighting makes for a more cozy nighttime routine.

A pastel pink living room paired with blue bedroom walls

05-01-2025

While most of the apartments I share here have rooms with similar wall colors, it’s quite refreshing to see such contrast in wall paint between the different spaces in this home (for sale via Stadshem).

The living room is painted in a dusty pink and paired with light palette furniture pieces and accessories for a balanced and warm look. The adjacent bedroom, however, has a green-blue wall color paired with a peach bedspread for a characterful effect.

The blue kitchen is enhanced with grey walls and lastly, the kid’s room has a vibrant yellow wall color perfect for a happy children’s space.

A small mirror on the wall reflects the blue hue coming from the bedroom also on this wall.

12 Elegant Victorian Bathroom Tile Ideas for a Classy Look

01-01-2025

Victorian-style bathroom ideas are a popular choice for homeowners looking to revitalize their historic home’s bathroom or totally transform the appearance of their modern space. One of the most common features individuals think of when it comes to a Victorian bathroom, however, is the iconic tile work.

Victorian-era tiles and accents can be the perfect finishing touches to any bathroom remodel, but finding inspiration can be a challenge. In the list below, you’ll find the most inspiring Victorian bathroom ideas to help you complete your next project.

Pair Victorian-Style Tile Patterns With Rich Colour and Art Deco Accents

White subway tiles, also called metro tiles, are one of the most popular choices when it comes to choosing tiles for a bathroom, and for good reason. These simple tiles pair beautifully with just about any design style, including Victorian-inspired designs as seen here.

Black and white tiles on the floor create a classic pattern common to Victorian style, and the rich umber paint on top of the half-wall tile paired with art deco accessories complete the look.

Use Victorian Floor Tiles and White Subway Tiles to Create a Bright and Inviting Bathroom

This bathroom is a similar style to the previous example but focuses more heavily on the stark contrast between black and white. Trimming the floor tiles with a line of black subway/metro tiles adds a layer of visual interest, while also serving as a bold separation between the two different materials.

The half wall is an efficient way to note the change from the vanity area into the shower, with added privacy. Subtle gold on the mirror and light fixture perfectly round out the space with a touch of charm.

Detailed Victorian-Style Flooring Paired With Simplistic Fixtures and Minimal Accents

This bathroom perfectly balances old and new ideals, featuring both solid white wall tile and patterned floor tiles. Additionally, the border of the floor tiles brings an extra “wow” factor to this bathroom design.

The black toilet seat helps to break up the solid white found everywhere else, serving as a great source of dimension in the room. A delicate mirror and a simple linen cloth are the perfect items to decorate this bathroom because they aren’t distracting from the focal point of the floor.

Pair Boldly Coloured Square Tiles With Contemporary Fixtures and Detailed Flooring

Though Victorian tiles tend to evoke images of strictly black-and-white color schemes, bold colors aren’t off-limits. A dramatic green, blue, or even pink theme can make your bathroom that much more custom in its appearance.

This bathroom uses a deep green tile on the walls, from floor to ceiling, while the floor itself features a scaled-down version of the classic tile patterns we’ve seen already. As a bonus, the more modern vanity unit allows for plenty of storage not found in Victorian-style sinks.

Create a Dramatic and Moody Bathroom by Blending Traditional Victorian Tiles and Modern Counterparts

In a similar vein as the last example, this bathroom is in a league of its own. Though the floor features Victorian tiles and some of the accessories and hardware have an antique appearance, these are the only things in this bathroom that aren’t modern.

The resulting blend of styles is a dramatic, yet elegant, bathroom that is sure to leave guests speechless. With a different layout, the shower area could be exchanged for a claw foot bathtub for added drama.

Combine Modern Industrial Aesthetics With Victorian Bathroom Design for a Unique and Fresh Space

This chic bathroom is inspired by both traditional and contemporary industrial-style design. A unique half wall divides the space, and there are plenty of options for hanging up both fresh and dirty towels.

By using square wall tiles instead of the more common subway tile, the squares of the floor tiles are echoed, creating a cohesive look that’s much more noticeable in this bathroom. Just as with the previous example, a bath instead of a shower is an option and may be a better choice for some homeowners.

An Airy, Contemporary Bathroom With Victorian Floor Tiles, a Glass Shower Area, and a Floating Vanity

This completely fresh take on Victorian bathroom design is an elegant alternative to totally antique bathroom ideas. Showcasing a breezy color scheme, this bathroom is the perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of a long day.

A Victorian-style floor and white tiles on the walls create a sense of cleanliness, as well as peacefulness, that is sure to stand the test of time.

Pair Thick Subway Tiles and Victorian Floor Tiles With Earth Tones for a Calming Bathroom Design

These beveled subway tiles create a slightly bubbled or thick appearance that’s much more uncommon than standard flat tiles. This can bring a level of dimension and originality to your bathroom, especially when paired with Victorian tiles in a less common configuration on the floor.

The ledge above the sink in this example also creates additional storage space for frequently used items such as toothbrush holders and other toiletries or small decor.

Classic Patterned Wallpaper and Subway Tile Wainscoting in a Victorian-Style Bathroom

Nothing says “Victorian bathroom” quite like an antique claw foot bathtub. This bathroom takes the style a step further, however, with the addition of bathroom wallpaper, tile wainscoting, and patterned floor tiles.

The same colors are found throughout the room, though the materials change, which creates an environment that’s the right combination of fun and peaceful. A touch of plant life also helps achieve this balance and is always a welcome addition to any bath.

Use Victorian Bathroom Tile Ideas to Spice Up a Combination Bathroom and Laundry Room

Small combination bathrooms that mimic the layout of hallways can pose several unique design challenges. However, some houses have no choice but to add a laundry area to the bathroom due to lack of space.

But this doesn’t mean that your dreams of a Victorian bathroom are impossible to achieve. Victorian tiles on the floor and a section of wall tile are all it takes to bring a bit of that same charm into an unconventional bath. Plus, a border of chair rail is the perfect finishing touch.

Victorian Bathroom Inspiration Paired With Unique Wall Tile for a Chic Powder Room

This example takes inspiration from Victorian bathroom ideas and then subverts expectations to make a style that’s completely unique. Thin pink-toned tiles are placed vertically on the wall as opposed to more common horizontal patterns, and a large floating vanity makes a bold impact.

The glass-walled shower helps the room feel more spacious than it is while helping to show off the stunning tile work.

Blend Victorian-Era Flooring and All-Over Marble for an Ultra-Modern Bathroom With Classic Touches

Finally, if a fully Victorian bathroom isn’t for you, but you still love some of the traditional elements we’ve looked at, this style may be the right choice for you. Discrete plumbing, sleek marble, and crisp edges make this bathroom a modern dream, while the inclusion of Victorian-style floor tiles provides an elegant, yet understated, touch.

This bathroom design also incorporates many of the features we’ve seen previously in a way that’s both visually appealing and functional.

This gorgeous Swedish apartment (for sale via Entrance Makleri) belongs to talented Swedish influencer Hannes Mauritzson and it has both a modern and romantic farmhouse aesthetic at the same time. The yellow kitchen with soft beige shiplap walls is the focal point of this apartment as it’s such a characteristic element in the space.

Stainless steel hardware with white porcelain details fit the farmhouse-style cabinets perfectly, while three black wall lamps add a beautiful contrast to the setting.

An oak wood peg rail is perfect for displaying cookbooks and kitchen utensils above the kitchen counter. It’s these details that make the kitchen personal and unique.

A large vintage dining table paired with vintage chairs and a vintage bench add a beautiful rustic aesthetic to the setting.

Next to the window, you can find a larger cupboard that holds the kitchen’s large appliances.

A bench in front of the window adds more seating in the kitchen and it’s a perfect spot to have your morning coffee in the sun.

A soft beige living room with beautiful details throughout

The living room has soft beige walls, paired with beige curtains that warm up the daylight coming through the windows. The white sofa paired with the fluffy beige area rug adds a cozy texture to the space, which is enhanced with textiles in colorful patterns on the sofa.
