Master Bathroom
The dream bath: Classic designer luxury The translation: Even without the massive square footage or fancy designer, you can pull together a gorgeous room with classic, crisp decorator touches that are well within reach. • Swap out standard blinds for fabric shades and your bath will suddenly feel like a real room. • Upgrade your towels for a fluffy version with contrasting piping or grosgrain trim. • Want to let in more light? Try adhesive window films for more sun without sacrificing privacy. • Replace the standard ceiling fixture with a classic drum pendant light on a dimmer switch. • Add a piece of real furniture. An armchair (if you have the room) or a small gleaming wood or marble table is a good choice for the classic bath.
Greige. A made-up color, but important enough to mention because I use it so much. A soft gray with beige undertones that is a perfect complement to most white marbles, such as Calacatta. It's a great solution for those who feel gray is too cold. This elegant bathroom is painted in my favorite greige, Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter HC-172

Of course, privacy is always important in a bathroom. Unlike other rooms, bathroom window treatments need to let in natural light while keeping prying eyes out. Sheer blinds are a practical option, while opaque film is a cost-effective solution. Tip: If you have the space for a luxurious bath under a window like this one, install window shades with a top-down option to let light in without sacrificing privacy.
