The Perfect White Bathroom

Are you are inspired by a vintage roll top bath with claw and ball feet, Rococo mirrors, apothecary jars & chandeliers? Or perhaps you prefer a more rustic farmhouse feel with natural stone, scrubbed floors boards, beams and rattan baskets. These gorgeous ideas have one element in common, all are heavenly white rooms in which to relax,indulge or just bathe!

I am a huge fan of large bathroom with wooden floors and painted walls. There is something so oldy worldy about them. Much better than walls and walls of tiles that only get dirty and make your bathroom cold and uninviting.

I think the First Option bathroom would be my choice. I can imagine sitting in that tub full of bubbles, wafting the scent of Jo Malone around the room. Your vintage bottles are so gorgeous, you have such an eye for beauty.

Those fab bathrooms are larger than my living room!
How fun it would be!

And your vintage bottles are quite a treasure- so pretty!

I adore a white bathroom, claw foot baths and apothecary jars, all have been an inspiration for our new bathroom, which hopefully will have images posted on my blog one day!

Glenda, these are truly beautiful. I particularly love the first view and can just imagine bathing and having a view.

Thank you again for such a stunning post

Love it all, but I want the white robe and want to look just like that in it. Ha! One of the details that I really love is the addition of the wicker baskets with the all white. That texture added is fabulous!

Wow, those bathrooms are all stunning, I would struggle to choose between them!!

I'd love a bathroom big enough for an armchair so you could chat to the occupant in the bath in comfort.

Gorgeous shots Glenda...love em all! I'm planning to reno our bathrooms when we finally return to Australia...they will definitely need it with my kids living there (with all of their friends)...my daughter has taken over our master bedroom, ensuite and walk in robe...and she is very tough on bathrooms...what with hairspray, bronzer, makeup, inky blue coloured shampoo etc...so I have lots of idea going around in my head (much to my hubby's dismay).
