1. Renaissance Reimagined in Florence
Florence, Italy, with its sun-dappled piazzas, storied artwork and alluring architecture, was the birthplace of the Renaissance. You can’t stroll its cobblestoned streets without stumbling upon a gem from the days of Botticelli and Da Vinci. The domed ceiling of this bathroom echoes the graceful shape of the city’s famed cathedral, the Duomo. The space’s lacquered columns and arches nod to the church’s architectural detailing, while its hues pay homage to the Duomo’s pink, white and green marble facade.
Florence is also known for its legendary designers, including shoemaker extraordinaire Salvatore Ferragamo and fashion icon Guccio Gucci. They would have appreciated the color and whimsy of the toile wallpaper decorating this space. Bright-hued books and abstract art add to the vibrant effect. A sculptural tub anchors the room and balances the mix of traditional elements and design-forward features. With a bathroom like this, you’re sure to feel fantastico.

2. Moroccan Magic in Casablanca
The Moroccan port city of Casablanca is a blend of architectural styles that include Moorish, Art Deco, Gothic and contemporary. It’s the epitome of Old World juxtaposed with new, a combination that inspired the look of the bathroom seen here. The space is designed after a traditional hammam, similar to a Turkish bath and a place still frequented by people today.
In place of a bathing pool, a crisp-lined tub stands at attention, contrasting the soft swirls of the room’s scrolling vine and floral motifs. Matte black faucets (finish made to order) pop against the intricate mosaic tile, a characteristic of traditional Moorish design. Vivid blues, oranges, reds and greens recall Morocco’s colorful markets, and the arches echo those found in the city’s ancient quarters. Even with the variety of hues and patterns, the bathroom is serene and soothing.

3. Hygge Cool in Copenhagen
Birthplace of Kaare Klint, the father of modern Danish furniture, Denmark is a design tour de force, with Copenhagen at its heart. Arne Jacobsen (of the egg chair), Poul Henningsen (of the artichoke lamp) and Hans Wegner (of the wishbone chair) all hail from this Scandinavian nation.
Their modernist legacy is apparent in the bathroom seen here. Midcentury shapes, modern faucets and fixtures and organic materials create a bold, tactile space. The Scandinavian concept of hygge, a word associated with coziness and simple contentment, is also present. A living moss wall and rough-hewn beams offer textural warmth, while a hide rug and fireplace add to the cozy vibe. Clean lines and water-inspired patterns and hues strengthen the calming effect.

4. Contemporary Glamour in Toronto
Canada’s most populous city, Toronto is brimming with creative professionals, art galleries and modern skyscrapers, all under the watchful eye of the soaring CN Tower. Inspired by the metropolis’ contemporary character and prevalent organic curves, this bathroom is an urban feminine oasis.
The soft lines of the double-sided mirror, the vanity and the tub, paired with blush hues and ombre curtains, offer polish and serenity. The marble elements, sophisticated chrome faucets, delicate chain chandelier and abstract copper sculpture bring glitz and glamour to the room. The mixed metals and convention-pushing shapes reflect Toronto’s innovative character.
Designing your bathroom after an inspiring city allows you to be whisked away to that place every time you step inside. All you need is a well-curated room and your imagination. Bon voyage!

I love that you share stories of all styles, price points, scale, and vision! I am lucky enough to travel, and do like to bring a small piece of culture back with me for my very modest home. You can find inspiration in anything if you leave the negative thoughts out of your mind and enjoy the positive! Three cheers to happy comments!
I, too have a large bathroom which I thought would be a luxury, but within a short space of time, I began to feel as if it lacked privacy( although it didn't); I felt too "exposed", too "out-in-the-open." For those of you who also have large bathrooms, have you ever felt that way, too? I'm simply curious and would love to know how others feel.
karinbee, I never thought of that. I can see your point.
