Wham-Bam Bathroom Glam

Thanks for all the positive feedback about my ocean-inspired DIY art. If you were inspired to do something similar yourself, please be sure to share your project with me when it’s done – I’d love to see it!

The word “bathroom” doesn’t usually conjure up images of a place you really want to spend a whole lot of time. Or maybe that’s just me, seeing as our bathroom has dark green marble tiles and the absolute worst shower design ever and a bidet that’s only ever been used for entertainment at parties (don’t ask!) But if I had a glamourous bathroom, I might re-think that whole in-and-out-as-fast-as-possible approach.

Maybe the bathroom isn’t the best place to be surrounded by mirrors, but it sure is glam! Especially when it’s a tub surround!

Double the bathroom beauty :-)

Love the mirrored drawer & door fronts in these two bathrooms…

Love the look of sconces attached to a mirror.

Double the chandelier = double the sparkle…

This is an unusual & glam look – a floating vanity installed in front of a huge mirror.

I love the look of windows mounted in front of windows. (I saved this picture ages ago and just realized now that there aren’t really two toilets in the room, that’s a huge mirror on the wall!)

Can you guess where this glamourous bathroom is? It’s in a restaurant called Pizza by Elizabeths in Greenville, Delaware! It’s so glam, even the wallpaper has mirrors (Go Baroque in Mirror by Schumacher). And notice the vanity support is mirrored too.

Not a mirror, but this silver sink is seriously gorgeous & glamourous, so I have to include it too :-)

And finally, this has to be the ultimate wham-bam bathroom glam by Chicago interior designer Jessica Legrange.

Now excuse me while I go tear out my ugly and most definitely NON-glam bathroom!

  1. Kelly,

    Love all the glam loaded with sparkles and shiny things. Eye candy galore and yet it really is how we've come to enjoy our bathroom spaces...as a luxury. Love it all!

  2. I love, love the wall tile in the second photo and that silver hammered sink is to die for. Oh I'm with you, I need to tear up my so unglamorous bathroom. However, I would not relish the amount of windex necessary to be used in these rooms.

  3. WOW! I'm in love! We're contemplating redoing our master bathroom in silvers and metallics and I'd die if it turned out anywhere close to this amazing. Thanks for the inspiration!

  4. Such glitz and glamour plus some of those rooms are vast. I am sort of a less is more person so my favourite is pic no 9 - I could use that idea here very easily. It is a clever way to use a mirror.

  5. Oh my gosh, I can't imagine having a bathroom like any of these. The most glam in my bathrooms is my master bath, which is tiny, and has foil wallpaper! We're tearing that bathroom out soon because it is so old and all around the shower is leaking. So bye, bye foil! Sadly, we can't afford to go glam in the re-do, just as inexpensive as we can get :( Oh, well.

  6. These are so wonderful! But I don't think my husband would be allowed to use the bathroom if I had one this fancy. He'd get hair and beard trimmings everywhere lol

  7. wowza!! Bathrooms are usually second round renovations in our house so I would love to see the rest of any of those spaces. I would never leave the bathroom if mine looked even remotely that beautiful.

  8. Some of these bathrooms are beautiful for sure. Having said that, I'm not on the side of huge bathrooms and personally, would rather spend my reno money on another room in the house where I actually spend quality time with my family :)

  9. I'm loving the silver sink, but hubby would have to move. (Winks!)
    Thanks for the tour of the eye candy. -Brenda-
