So what are you waiting for? After such a tough year, it’s time to turn your bland bathroom into the spa oasis you deserve. If you’re ready to take on 2021, here are five styles to help you do it.

1. Retro green tile

We’re seeing a resurgence of retro styles, and this fresh green look from @mandarinstoneofficial is no exception.

“Green is the new neutral, and with wonderful benefits,” says Michelle Harrison-McAllister of Michelle Harrison Design. “This color plays well with both warm and cool tones, making it great for any style. Geometric tile patterns add a hip vibe to any bathroom, not to mention the color itself boosting feelings of calmness, renewal, and harmony.”

“Murals have proven to be the high-impact art option for bathroom decor,” says Harrison-McAllister. “With so many options to choose from, we’re no longer restricted to permanent tile design detail. Self-adhesive ones from Etsy give you a custom bathroom design that is upscale and also makes you feel like you’re in a fancy European spa.”

3. Double sconce

Add some old-world sophistication to your bathroom in the new year by upgrading your light features to a double sconce like this one featured by @design.playbook.

“We’re seeing big influence from midcentury modern and art deco styles with these minimalist, brass double wall sconces,” says designer and CEO Mark Wood of National Pool Fences.

“Overhead bathroom lighting can be harsh and uninviting, and installing a double wall sconce can give a more soft, flattering light,” says Wood. “It’s also the perfect way to bring more light to a smaller space, and makes the room feel more relaxing as if you’re staying in a five-star hotel.”
