Master Bath Design: 4 Jaw-Dropping Sanctuaries You Have to See

Get Inspired by These Elegant & Elevated Master Bath Design Projects

When people think of showstopping interior design, they tend to zero in on kitchens, living rooms, and primary bedrooms. It makes sense - these are the rooms we gather in, unwind in, and start and end our days in. But there’s one space that’s equally worthy of the spotlight: master bath design.

A beautifully designed bathroom doesn’t just support your daily routine, it transforms it. And when done well, it becomes a personal retreat that rivals any five-star hotel.

Soak in the Style: 4 Inspiring Master Bath Design Projects

We believe that your master bath design should be just as intentional - and joy-filled - as any other room in the home. From statement lighting to dreamy vanities and artful tile, every detail should reflect your personality and style. These four projects do exactly that.

Monochromatic Master Bath Design Masterpiece

Monochromatic Master Bath - Lisa Gilmore Design

This soothing space blends softness and sophistication with layered textures and artisanal flair. Crisp white surfaces set the stage for burnished wood cabinetry and a feminine makeup vanity that steals the show.

A freestanding tub takes center stage, framed by hand-painted Tabarka tile and a water-safe border that mimics aged stone. A beaded chandelier adds just the right dose of drama, while arched shower entrances hint at old-world elegance.

Parisian Primary Bath Paradise

PARISIAN BATHROOM DESIGN - LISA GILMORE DESIGN

This master bath design is a love letter to vintage glam and unapologetic romance. Inspired by the homeowner’s love of fashion, travel, and Sex and the City, this suite layers chocolate floral wallpaper, a vintage rug, and antique mirror tiles in the most effortlessly chic way. The vanity wall dazzles with a basketweave of reflective tile and gilded details. Every inch of the space, from the soaking tub to the curated candelabra, invites you to slow down and indulge. It’s a little Paris, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of personality.

Masculine Master Bath Design Marvel 

Equal parts spa and sculpture gallery, this tailored retreat honors its mid-century roots while turning up the sophistication. A walnut stool, a moody figure sketch, and pebble mosaic floor bring in warmth and texture.

We reimagined the layout to include a second primary closet, then layered in rosewood vanities, dark architectural tile, and a steam shower that means business.

With drama, function, and soul woven throughout, this master bath design is anything but standard-issue. It’s as bold and expressive as the couple who lives here.

Earthly Primary Bath Elegance

If you could bottle up a Caribbean vacation and pour it into a room, it would look like this.

Creamy marble floors, soft gold fixtures, and natural wood cabinetry lay the foundation for a spa-like vibe, while hanging plants, handmade tile, and palm wallpaper in the water closet bring the outside in.

The oversized shower features natural stone and brushed brass hardware for that luxury-on-autopilot feel.

FAQs: Answers to Your Master Bath Design Questions

1. What is the bathroom design trend in 2025?

Spa-inspired everything. In 2025, master bathrooms are going full-on sanctuary mode - think warm minimalism, integrated tech, and bold stone vanities. You'll also see a return of vintage charm (unlacquered brass! fluted cabinetry!) mixed with sleek modern silhouettes. And yes, style matters more than ever.

2. How much does it cost to design a master bathroom?

Costs vary, but most high-end master bath design projects fall between $25,000 and $80,000+, depending on square footage, layout changes, and finish selections. Custom cabinetry, plumbing, tilework, and lighting are major cost drivers - but also major value-adds.

3. What are master baths called now?

Many designers (us included!) use “primary bathroom” or “owner’s suite bathroom” instead of “master bath” to embrace more inclusive language. But no matter what you call it, it’s still the perfect space to experiment with bold design, luxe materials, and a little powder room-worthy glamour.

Whether your heart beats faster for vintage Parisian glam or clean Caribbean calm, our team at Lisa Gilmore Design will create a master bath design that reflects your needs, your lifestyle, and your unique sense of style.
