\"OL6<\/div>\n

This lookbook<\/a> compiles bathrooms<\/a> with unlikely textural, material<\/a> and colour<\/a> combinations, creating dramatic schemes in rooms renowned for sterility.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bathroom’s rigid function as a place for washing, cleaning and bathing has led them to be an oft overlooked room in the home when it comes to design.<\/p>\n

The following examples, including a South African lodge, an upstate New York farmhouse and a dentist’s office-turned-home, all demonstrate how these rooms can be as design-forward as the rest of the home.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring autumnal-coloured interiors<\/a>, distinctive hair salons<\/a> and double-height living rooms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Floating Farmhouse, USA, by Tom Givone<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Glossy brown floorboards contrast with a clean stainless steel<\/a> shell that wraps around the antique bathtub in the main bathroom of this house in rural New York state, renovated by designer Tom Givone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bath, which has a copper inside topped with a wooden lip around its edge, was salvaged from a tenement building in New York City’s Lower East Side<\/a>.<\/p>\n

OL6, Belgium, by Jan Lefevere<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A bubblegum-blue colour picked from the original facade of this former 1960s dental practice<\/a> features throughout the interior’s floor, including in the bathroom.<\/p>\n

Here, local architect Jan Lefevere contrasted the retro block colour with a bath boasting a side panel clad in dimensional stained plywood<\/a>, in reference to the building’s staircase.<\/p>\n

Curciu guesthouse, Romania, by Modul 28<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A timber structure provides bathroom facilities for this church<\/a> rectory-turned-guesthouse in Transylvania, converted by local studio Modul 28.<\/p>\n

Pale timber is seen throughout the inside of the pavilion-style building, and its many knots and natural grain contrasts with the corrugated<\/a> yellow metal panels that line the inside of the shower.<\/p>\n

House of Three Patios, Spain, by Twobo Arquitectura<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Roughly-finished concrete<\/a> walls are juxtaposed against a sleek stainless steel sink in the bathroom of this Spanish home by local studio\u00a0Twobo Arquitectura<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A trio of different tiles complete the intentionally mismatched aesthetic of the space, which extends beyond the bathroom and throughout the rest of the interior.<\/p>\n

Vipp Townhouse, France, by Julie Cloos M\u00f8lsgaard<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Danish designer Julie Cloos M\u00f8lsgaard paired conventional wooden floorboards with distinctive red marble<\/a> fittings in this townhouse bathroom.<\/p>\n

Situated within homeware brand\u00a0Vipp<\/a>‘s southern French townhouse, the bathroom’s ring-shaped shower base, floor and pedestal have a striated rose-and-grey colouring, offset by the grain of the wooden boards.<\/p>\n

Tembo Tembo lodge, South Africa, by Studio Asa\u00ef<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The deep greens and earth tones that decorate the interior of this South African<\/a> lodge are distilled into this bathroom, with its conjunction of dark green walls, wooden panels and stone sink<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Naturally-occurring stripes are common to both the striated marble basin and the grain of the wood.<\/p>\n

Primrose Hill townhouse, UK, by Studio Hagen Hall<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This townhouse references 1970s Californian modernism throughout, not least in the main bathroom, where cork<\/a> tiles cover the floor and sides of the bathtub.<\/p>\n

The cork’s textural appearance is contrasted with a baby pink curtain<\/a> in front and block peach-coloured cabinets behind.<\/p>\n
