10 Minimalist Bathrooms of Our Dreams

Bathrooms, even when they’re on the larger side, aren’t always the biggest rooms and when you throw in a shower or tub, a sink, and a toilet, they get even smaller. Top that with busy stone patterns, tiles, and ornate fixtures and it can be visual overload. On the flip side, you can keep things clean and simple with a minimalist look that can lend itself to a soothing retreat where we love to spend our time. Not sure about a scaled back look? Take a look at these 10 minimalist bathrooms to see if they can change your mind.

MCK Architects designed the Queens Park House to include this bathroom that houses just the essentials surrounded by long, wooden boards that start on the floor, continue up the wall, and onto the ceiling. The planks stop just short of an elongated skylight that gives the feeling of the bathroom being outdoors.
