21 White Bathroom Ideas for a Sparkling Space

Subway tile provides a sleek, timeless look for white bathrooms. Instead of limiting the treatment inside the shower, extend white subway tiles across bathroom walls for a striking effect. This space also introduces black metal accents and slate floor tiles for added dimension.

White bathrooms don't have to be boring. To make yours bold, go for contrasting colors to complete your palette. Here, black and white bathroom floor tiles provide all the interest this bathroom needs to be stylish. Brass hardware adds to the contemporary look.

White is an ideal paint color choice for small bathrooms because it reflects light and makes the space appear larger. In this bathroom, white coats every surface, except the wood vanity, to maximize the bright, expansive effect. A large mirror and glass shower doors also contribute to this visual trick.

Wood tones can introduce depth and interest to white bathrooms without adding color. A white-washed wood vanity pairs with white walls and countertops to create timeless character in this elegant bath. The wood's light finish doesn't hinder the room's bright, airy feel.

Accentuate white bathroom designs with a soft accent color that adds dimension to the space. In this bathroom, the upper portions of the walls are painted a muted sage-green color, which reads as a neutral and doesn't overpower the color scheme. White otherwise dominates on the floor and shower tiles, vanity, and beaded-board wainscoting.

Symmetry rules in this classic white primary bathroom. The double vanity features traditional inset cabinet doors and a lucite handles for extra glamour. A mixture of marble (on the countertops, floor, and tub surround) adds visual interest to the all-white bathroom.

Gray is a natural complement to white bathroom designs. Pulled from the marble that appears throughout the space, soft grays and crisp whites make this neutral bathroom a relaxing retreat. Above the built-in tub, recessed open shelves are lined with white and metallic accents, keeping the color palette front and center.

Contrasting textures play up the white walls and accessories in this bathroom to create a simple and clean look. The delicate tile floor and marble countertop add interest, while cream and white paint harmonize on the walls. For a refreshing pop of color that isn't too permanent, place a vase of flowers or greenery on the vanity.

Contrast is the key in this stunning white bathroom. Dark cabinets and floors provide a perfect setting for the white countertops and trim to pop. Large multipane windows allow natural light to illuminate the high ceiling and subtle wallpaper detail.

A transitional vanity combines classic, contemporary, and cottage style in this small bath. The marble countertop coordinates with the marble-look ceramic floor tile for a high-end look that didn't cost a fortune. Polished nickel hardware and fixtures contribute to this white bathroom's refined style.

White tiled wainscoting and an elegant vintage tub signal classic style in this cozy bathroom. A neutral color palette keeps the focus on the room's charming accessories. Framed prints, a stone side table, and a feminine chair tie this soft, timeless space to its vintage roots.

Use a white palette to showcase architectural gems, such as this bathroom's beaded-board slanted ceiling. White cabinetry, trim, and ceiling paint carry light through the space, but a darker gray accent wall helps accentuate the interesting ceiling. Brass fixtures and a mosaic stone tile floor add charm to the white bathroom.

Achieve dimension and texture in a white space by using different types of tile. Here, walls wrapped in white subway tiles mingle with marble tile floors. Rich brown wall color and a handsome walnut vanity balance the white backdrop and make the room feel cozy. A band of dark marble on the floor mimics the delicate line of brown tile on upper walls.

No need for bold colors in a bath with gorgeous architectural details. Although this room is entirely white, the intricate hexagonal tiling, built-in cabinets, and arched ceiling provide enough interest to satisfy the eye. Adding wood paneling brings tall ceilings to a cozy level, which draws focus to a handsome bathtub and appears to reduce the height of this cavernous room.

Crisp white walls, along with a white tub and vanity, provide the perfect setting for experimenting with other hues. Small bursts of color, such as a cheery shower curtain, rugs, and towels, become instant focal points in an all-white bathroom. These accessories are also easy to swap out, which makes a change in the color scheme a snap.

A gorgeous marble walk-in shower and an eye-catching tile design underfoot add texture and dimension to this predominantly white bathroom. A small wooden bench brings a natural touch to the modern freestanding tub and faucet. Even the flat-screen TV, positioned above the bathtub faucet, contributes to the white color palette.

Ivory and white tile floors coordinate with creamy walls to create a space that's lovely in its simplicity. A large arched mirror crowned with white trim adds architectural value to this bathroom while helping visually expand the space. The stately freestanding tub and vintage faucet complete the elegant look.

Traditional materials in soft hues are punctuated by white and black accents in this restful white bathroom. Richly veined marble tile, dark picture frames, and a claw-foot tub contribute to the room's regal appeal. Armoire doors crafted from old leaded-glass windows blend storage and antique style.

Update a small white bathroom with multiple mirrors to make the space look larger. Mirror-front cabinets conceal cramped quarters, resulting in a more open-feeling bathroom. Even a few colorful accessories, such as the rosy pink hand towels shown here, pack a big punch against the creamy backdrop when they are reflected.

A claw-foot tub takes center stage in this dormer bathroom, thanks to a warm backdrop of beige walls and rosy accessories. A white ceiling maximizes the feeling of open space by reflecting natural light. Marble tile underfoot ties the color scheme together.

Whimsical wallpaper transforms this white bathroom into a woodsy-themed retreat. Dark natural wood flooring makes a statement against the white-and-gray palette, and a compact console sink provides both ample storage and a farmhouse feel. Thick crown molding adds prominence to the small space.
