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

MASTER BATH DESIGN - LISA GILMORE DESIGN

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.

Equal parts durable and delicate, this serene sanctuary is proof that timeless style doesn’t have to be boring.

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.

This master bath design is all about balance: earthy and elevated, tailored and tropical, peaceful and full of personality.

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.

Midcentury Modern Office Style Idea with Waterfront Views

MID-CENTURY MODERN OFFICE - LISA GILMORE DESIGN

This mid-century modern home got a fresh update that honors its iconic roots. The office’s vintage Eames-style lounger and desk chair were lovingly reupholstered right here in town, giving them a new lease on stylish life. And because the homeowners are passionate about supporting independent artists, every piece of art tells a story - whether it was part of their original collection, commissioned just for this space, or discovered on a serendipitous art hunt along the way.

Home Office Mural Steals the Show

This home office feels like it belongs on a breezy Caribbean island with all the charm and none of the travel delays. The entire renovation was guided by a single goal: to craft a space that feels like a tropical escape, perfect for relaxing or gathering with loved ones. The homeowners are passionate about art, music, and travel, so weaving those loves into every corner was a must. 

photo: Home Office with Mural

In the office, a playful hand-painted mural by artist Chad Mize sets the tone - colorful, creative, and just a little bit cheeky. A custom glass door, designed and fabricated just for this space, adds an extra splash of personality. It's a one-of-a-kind retreat where inspiration comes easy and island daydreams are always welcome.

Work in Your Own Jewel Box Office Style Idea

photo: Home Office Tampa Bay - Lisa Gilmore Design

In this space, a vintage French chandelier sparkles overhead while an Hermès scarf, cheekily framed in the window, adds an unexpected wink. The custom built-in, painted a show-stopping shade of emerald, was designed by Lisa and crafted by local artisans. And don’t miss the ottoman with vintage legs or those fabulous drapes - designed by Lisa and inspired by none other than the queen of Hollywood Regency herself, Dorothy Draper. It's a petite powerhouse of personality.

Downtown Condo Office Style Idea with a Bold Red Desk

DOWNTOWN CONDO OFFICE - LISA GILMORE DESIGN TAMPA

This bold downtown St. Pete condo was a true design adventure - from virtual consults to the final reveal, we didn’t meet the homeowners in person until after everything was installed and they made their big move to Florida! Having previously lived in sleek, modern spaces filled with whites, grays, and the occasional blue, they were ready to toss the rulebook and let us go wild - and we happily obliged. 

One of our favorite standout pieces? A radiant red custom desk from OTTRA, a Brooklyn-based studio we’ve admired for years. Lisa first met Sofia, one of the owners, at the Brooklyn Design Festival over five years ago, and they instantly clicked. They dreamed of collaborating, and this joyful, sculptural desk made that dream a (very red and fabulous) reality.

South Tampa Office Style Idea with Boss Lady Flair

Looking for an office style idea with serious boss energy? This South Tampa home office delivers, complete with a bold pillow that declares its owner a powerhouse. The fashion-loving homeowner has a deep appreciation for art, which is woven into every detail from the statement pieces in her personal collection to the bespoke mineral plaster ceiling created by a local artisan. The richly layered rug comes from the Lisa Gilmore Design Rug Collection, and the custom drapery was designed by Lisa herself and crafted right here in Tampa Bay. It’s stylish, strong, and anything but ordinary.

Eclectic Office Style Idea: Arts & Crafts Meets Art Deco

In this whimsical home office, history meets haute design. The homeowner’s beloved antique Arts & Crafts desk anchors the space with its rich, carved details, while playful nods to Art Déco shine through in sharp geometrics and glitzy accents. We layered in bold pattern, graphic upholstery, and sculptural lighting for a look that feels collected, not themed. 

It’s a joyful collision of eras where Morris-inspired wallpaper blooms behind a boldly graphic chair, and every detail feels intentionally layered with a wink and a flourish. The result? A perfectly eclectic office style idea that proves mixing periods is always in fashion.

Masculine Office Style Idea Inspired by Sherlock Holmes

SHERLOCK HOLMES OFFICE - LISA GILMORE DESIGN TAMPA

Can’t you imagine Sherlock and Watson in this home office, discussing their latest mind-boggling case? This workspace exudes the warmth and charm of an old-school gentleman’s club, with rich wood tones, masculine textures, and a dose of Americana flair. 

From the classic campaign-style desk and red velvet chair to the presidential portrait and Kennedy poster, every detail hints at strong leadership and timeless taste. We dressed the windows in a tailored plaid and wrapped the walls in a burnished bronze tone that glows in the afternoon light. Add in leather, velvet, and a few nods to natural history (hello, feathered pheasant) and this space is every bit as refined as it is personal.

Traditional Office Style Idea That Works Double Duty

TRADITIONAL OFFICE - LISA GILMORE DESIGN MIAMI

This room is proof that you really can have it all - style, function, and a splash of citrusy charm. What looks like a sophisticated sitting room at first glance is also a cleverly disguised dual home office, thanks to two custom built-in desks tucked on either side of the window. With vibrant floral drapery, playful pops of orange and green, and a chandelier dripping in pearls, this multitasking marvel is perfect for hosting guests by day and conquering your inbox by night. A space that works hard and plays pretty? Yes, please.

FAQs: Different Office Style Ideas for Your Focus Needs

1. How do I style my office?

Start by gathering a few office style ideas that match your personality and how you want to feel in your workspace - energized, calm, creative, or focused. From there, layer in color (on the walls or accessories), invest in lighting that flatters both your Zoom calls and your desk tasks, and mix in elements you love, like art, plants, or vintage treasures. The goal? To make your office feel less like a cubicle and more like your favorite room in the house.

2. How to design your office layout?

Designing your office layout starts with function first. Think about how you move through your day and what tools you use most often. Then, get inspired by office style ideas that balance beauty and practicality. Whether you're carving out a corner in your living room or have a dedicated room, consider traffic flow, natural light, and storage. Don’t forget: even a layout can have flair. A well-placed rug or bookshelf can define the space and make it feel intentional.

3. How to make an office look cozy?

Cozy doesn’t have to mean cluttered. Think warm textures, soft lighting, and personal touches that make you smile. Use cozy office style ideas like plush throws, layered rugs, framed photos, or a candle with your favorite scent. Choose a chair you actually want to sit in and bring in natural elements like wood finishes or greenery. A cozy office is one that feels lived-in, loved, and ready for big ideas.

Whether you're drawn to tropical murals, jewel-toned built-ins, or downtown drama, these office style ideas prove that your workspace can be as unique as you are.

Dreamy Baby Girl Nursery: A Whimsical Retreat for Matilda Mae

BABY GIRL NURSERY - LISA GILMORE DESIGN

Lisa Gilmore Design’s Baby Girl Nursery

Designing a magazine-worthy home might come naturally to Lisa Gilmore, but when it came to her own baby girl nursery, the challenge was surprisingly tough! For an interior designer, one of the most exciting parts of pregnancy is creating that special space for your little one. Yet, when Lisa set out to design Matilda Mae’s nursery, she hit a creative roadblock.

Matilda Mae’s Modern Baby Girl Nursery

“As many people know, my style is all about layers of color and pattern. Naturally, I started with that same aesthetic for the nursery, but something just didn’t feel right,” Lisa explained.

Thankfully, she had plenty of time to find her groove before baby Matilda made her grand entrance. The first piece she fell in love with? The crib.

Baby Girl Nursery Green Crib– A Dreamy Centerpiece

Lisa found the perfect crib—the rattan Palm Crib by Nestig, in a lovely shade of green. “It was the only thing I had saved for months that I knew I absolutely wanted in the room.”

Moroccan-Inspired Baby Girl Nursery Rug

Then on a recent trip to Morocco, Lisa stumbled upon a soft lambswool rug with stripes in cream, terracotta, and blush. “It was so far from what I had in mind, but I couldn’t resist. I pictured telling Matilda one day how I picked out her rug in Morocco when I was five months pregnant!”

And that’s when the magic started to happen—the nursery design began to bloom.

Floral Meets Modern in Matilda's Baby Girl Nursery

Knowing Matilda's birth flower was the daisy, Lisa fell in love with a whimsical daisy wallpaper from Nestig. It paired perfectly with the modern rug and the charming green crib. This playful backdrop set the stage for the room’s stunning artwork: a watercolor Parisian map hanging over her crib gifted by a close friend, the special mama leopard and cub art created and gifted by dear friend and artist Rebekah Lazaridis, and the original Madeline art by Ludwig Bemelmans gifted by her uncle and found at an auction in Peru. 

A Chandelier with a Story

Lisa’s love for antiques brought another touch of whimsy to the room: a vintage French palm leaf chandelier she found years ago while antiquing in Atlanta. “I didn’t know where it would go at the time, but when I pulled it out for Matilda’s room, I knew it was perfect. It casts such lovely light, and I could imagine her gazing up at it! And now she does!”

And the cozy Crate and Kids glider with a cute little lumbar pillow in Willow Mint with pink piping by Pepper Home is the perfect place to cuddle.

A Sentimental Baby Girl Nursery Mobile with a Family Connection

The finishing touch? A mobile of tiny ballerinas, hand-stitched by Lisa’s great-grandmother in the 80s. “These delicate dolls hung in my room as a baby, and I was so happy to use them for Matilda’s nursery.” 

The mobile looks so sweet against the Pepper Home custom-made-to-order pink drapery with green tassels. (These were so easy to order online with everything Lisa wanted– blackout lined and pinch pleated with the beautiful tassels that tie everything together.)

Lisa’s dreamy design for Matilda’s nursery is a blend of stories, sentiment, and stunning design—perfect for a little one’s first adventures.

FAQs: Everything You Want to Know About a Baby Girl Nursery

1. What age should a baby have a nursery?

There’s no hard and fast rule for when a baby should have a nursery. Many parents set one up before their little one arrives, but some wait until the baby is a few months old. Ideally, the nursery is ready when you want your baby to start sleeping in their own room—typically around 6 months, according to many parenting guidelines. It’s all about when you feel ready for that transition!

2. What are the best colors for a baby girl nursery?

The best colors for a baby girl nursery depend on the vibe you're going for! Soft pastels like blush pink, lavender, and mint are classic choices, but modern nurseries are branching out with neutrals like cream, taupe, and sage green. If you want a bold pop, deep mauve or peachy coral can add a fun twist. 

3. How do you make a girly nursery?

Creating a girly nursery can be a delightful mix of soft colors, charming patterns, and sweet accents. Think floral wallpaper, plush rugs, and maybe a chic chandelier for a touch of whimsy! You can play with feminine touches like ruffled curtains, pastel-hued decor, or delicate wall art. The goal is to make it cozy and pretty, but also functional and comfortable for you and your baby.

What a dreamy nursery for little Matilda! Before you know it, Lisa will be looking at big kid room ideas for her darling daughter, and we’ll be ready to see her next design adventure

South Tampa Florida Home is Filled with Color and Style

SOUTH TAMPA FLORIDA HOME - LISA GILMORE INTERIOR DESIGN

Before and After: Art-Saturated South Tampa Florida Home

Picture this: a two-story, four-bedroom home in South Tampa, Florida, looking all nice and neat but just a bit too vanilla for our art-loving clients. They craved a splash of color, a dash of pizzazz, and rooms that felt as vibrant as their personalities. That's where the Lisa Gilmore Design team came in, ready to transform their unimaginative abode into a colorful casa!

Color-Filled South Tampa, Florida Home

The homeowners' extensive art collection, including several dazzling Ashley Longshore pieces, made this project a dream come true for the LGD team. We had a blast weaving these artworks into the design, adding even more layers of color and texture to their home.

HOME OFFICE BEFORE

Inspiring Home Office with Custom Touch

Our client, a high-profile financial advisor, needed a workspace that was both fabulous and functional. Bland, white walls? Begone! We teamed up with a local artisan to create a gold-plated ceiling and hand-painted walls with pink and gold detailing. Add in a blush pink, champagne, and gold rug from the Lisa Gilmore Design Collection and custom drapery designed by Lisa herself, and voila! A workspace that oozes inspiration and energy.

TV ROOM BEFORE

Bold Den/TV Room Design in South Florida, Tampa

Ever seen a more striking, jewel-toned TV room? We took this space from drab to fab with a complete makeover. Our artisan crafted a textured ceiling and walls, perfect backdrops for art by Davina Shefet (to the left of the sofa) and a piece from the clients' own collection (above the sofa). A reupholstered sofa in Emma Shipley fabric and a custom-designed ottoman by Lisa completed the look, making it the ultimate lounging spot.

DINING ROOM CHANDELIER BEFORE

South Tampa, Florida Dining Room with Vintage Chandelier

The dining room before was nice, but it didn't leave much of an impression. We decided to spice things up with a few vintage pieces, including a stunning chandelier made of vintage Murano glass from the 1960s, imported all the way from Italy. Most people might shy away from such a bold statement piece, but it creates a sculptural experience for visitors. We also reupholstered the dining chairs in zebra hide and added Ashley Longshore butterfly art near the ceiling.

PRIMARY BEDROOM BEFORE

Luxurious Primary Bedroom Retreat

Though the primary bedroom isn’t as colorful as the rest of the house, its palette of whites, grays, and golds creates a luxurious, restful retreat. Our artisan used hand-scraped plaster to create cascading weeping willows on the walls in monochromatic white hues. Lisa designed the custom drapery, and we finished the space with art from the clients’ collection, making it a serene sanctuary.

photo: Primary Bedroom After

GUEST BEDROOM BEFORE

Tiger-ific Guest Bedroom in South Tampa, Florida

The tiger portrait in the guest bedroom, part of the clients' existing art collection, is a real showstopper. We complemented it with textured, patterned latticework on the walls and custom drapery designed by Lisa and made locally. It’s a space that’s sure to impress any guest.
