Home Tours of Beautiful Bathrooms

Kevin Sharkey, executive editorial director for decorating at Martha Stewart, gave his bathroom a complete renovation. He used tile on the walls to bring in texture and warmth, and also to create a visual transition between the dark stone floor and the white Corian shower and sink. He added an undersink shelf for additional storage.

Mahogany doors originally from the kitchen were repurposed to create a grand entrance to the en suite master bathroom, which has an egg-shaped tub and cool grey tiles.

This summer cottage's downstairs bathroom features a double-wide shower with the same stone floors used throughout the property's barn. Its open layout is perfect for rinsing off after a swim.

A simple cast-iron tub -- complete with views of the property -- takes center stage in this master bathroom.

Mosaic tiles line this minimalist bathroom inside a midcentury modern home in Los Angeles. The narrow space is made to appear wider with the addition of a glass wall that looks into an outdoor space.

This master bath features a black-and-white color scheme. The center of the room is dominated by an ornate marble-topped table whose mate is in the living room.

In a bathroom of Martha's Maine summer home, Skylands, luxurious terry-cloth towels are the perfect complement to soft-pink tiles on the wall and floor.

A window over the sink stands in for the typical mirror and offers views of a citrus grove and distant mountains in this Santa Barbara, California, home.

In this bathroom, an ornate French chandelier both matches and mocks the space's serious design; its black-and-white color scheme is true to the period of the house. Hot-pink accents further jazz up the bathroom's look.

For the guest house of her Maine summer home, Martha unearthed this pink Venetian mirror at a consignment store. The pink glazed tiles were made in the 1920s.

A crystal chandelier strikes a whimsical note above a free-standing tub, which was chosen for its modern-looking flat rim. The owner likes the worn silk rug because "you can stand on it with wet feet and it feels great." An antique painted tray table holds towels.

Long curtains surrounding the tub add a bit of drama to this bathroom. The modern pattern stands out against the white walls and the tub itself becomes an object of interest.

This bathroom is luxurious yet basic, with clean lines and an abundance of natural light provided by a skylight. The owner decided on a glass shower without a door to make the room feel as spacious as possible.
