Whether you’re trying to relive a vacation on the Amalfi Coast or simply adding some warmth to your home interior, we’ve gathered plenty of Mediterranean bathroom ideas to get you started on your next design project.
Mediterranean Bathroom Ideas For Your Next Bathroom Remodel
There are many facets of Mediterranean design. Tuscan-inspired home design often includes earthy tones, like warm brown and clay colors. Other countries along the Mediterranean coast pull from a more vibrant color scheme.
Mediterranean bathrooms often use textures popular in the region. You’ll see examples of Mediterranean bathrooms with Italian marble sinks or Spanish shower tiles.
When designing your own Mediterranean bathroom, it’s important to consider how various elements will pair together. Using patterned tiles in warm brown tones could be a great way to incorporate Tuscan and Spanish design elements.
You can even borrow from styles outside of the Mediterranean to supplement your bathroom design. For instance, you might try using the textures of the Mediterranean with a very Scandinavian all-white color palette.
Scroll through these Mediterranean bathroom design ideas, and let us know in the comments which you find most inspiring.
1. Earthy Grecian Bathroom
This modern Greek bathroom proves that you don’t need grand, sweeping spaces to incorporate elements of elegant Mediterranean design. Simple touches bring this design together. This color palette is mostly neutral, with earthy brown tones on the mirror and bathroom cabinets and shades of grey on bathroom tiles and countertops.
A cool light green adds a bit of calming contrast to the room. The stone basin sink feels plucked from the ceramics section of a Renaissance museum. All of this can be achieved in a bathroom of any size.
Mediterranean-Inspired Bathroom Design
Textures can make or break your bathroom. In this Mediterranean-inspired bathroom design, a mix of earthy textures feels warm and cozy.
Light beige bricks adorn the countertop and carry onto the wall. Large textured beige tiles embellish another section of the wall.
While the textures are entirely different, their similar shades allow them to bleed into one another seamlessly. This reclaimed wood-framed bathroom mirror is the clear focal point of the bathroom.
You could use elements from your own backyard or perhaps your travels to the Mediterranean to achieve a similar look in your bathroom.
3. Mediterranean Sea Inspiration
Blue Hues for a Mediterranean Bathroom Design
Bringing blue hues into your Mediterranean bathroom design can allude to the Mediterranean Sea. Use blues and whites and incorporate textured paint looks to bring the Grecian coast to your home.
This small ornate bathroom mirror flanked by brass candelabras adds a bit of glamour to the room. The details are more important than ever because bathrooms are usually smaller than other rooms.
4. Tuscan Style Bath
You may immediately picture ornate Renaissance paintings or detailed carved marble figures when you think of Italian design. That ornamentation is still present in modern Mediterranean interior design.
In this example, an incredibly intricate chandelier hangs above a swooping bathtub. Traditional-style dark wood cabinets are ornamented with metal handles, and the entire warm brown color scheme feels strongly Tuscan in nature.
5. Elegance in Stone
Mediterranean Bathroom Design Highlighting Stone Features
Stone features can look luxurious or humble, depending on the other elements used in the room. In this Mediterranean bathroom example, rustic stone features look humble above the sink.
However, the patterned brickwork behind the clawfoot tub feels more elegant. The warm hues of this Mediterranean-inspired bathroom harken back to traditional Italian palettes.
6. Mediterranean Tiles
It’s easy to get lost in images from luxury resorts on the Amalfi coast, which is exactly where this image was pulled from. Bring the Mediterranean back home with colorful patterned tiles for your floor, walls, or both!
Add ornamental mirrors throughout the room to reflect light and provide decoration. Incorporating colors like gold throughout the details of your trim can also add a luxurious vibe to your Mediterranean-inspired bathroom.
7. Italian Villa Shower
Here, we have another example of tiles used on the floor and wall for decoration. Ornate design elements, like this bathroom’s various hanging light fixtures, can help your bathroom feel like it was plucked straight from Versailles.
This bathroom design embraces the old with an antique dark wood table that displays towels and other items. Incorporating traditional-style cabinetry is a great way to add storage and beauty to your Mediterranean bathroom.
8. Michelangelo’s Marble Bathroom
Michelangelo's Marble Bathroom for a Mediterranean Bathroom Design
If you like a more muted palette, this Mediterranean-inspired bathroom is a great example. Natural lighting beaming through a massive arched window highlights marble floors and wall paneling. Warm beige walls match nicely with a clawfoot tub.
Of course, you can always make your home bathroom feel like a luxurious Italian spa resort by hanging white bathrobes. You deserve it.
9. Italian Luxury
Italian Luxury Bathroom Design
This Mediterranean bathroom shares many elements with the previous one. It proves just how much a color scheme can influence a bathroom design.
This luxurious bathroom uses deep red and cream-textured walls and flooring instead of white marble. A textured black stone trim wraps around the room.
The same texture is used for the bathtub, the sink, and the frame for the mirror. And with bold textures like these, you don’t need any decoration.
10. Mediterranean Blue
Coastal Mediterranean Bathroom Design
Are you torn between a coastal theme or a Mediterranean design scheme for your bathroom? There’s no need to choose when you can meet in the middle and incorporate the best of both worlds. This blue and white color palette definitely feels beachy in nature, but decorative vases and an arched window draw in elements of the Mediterranean design style.
If you’ve traveled to the Mediterranean and have items you’d like to display, creating alcoves like the one pictured above can be a great way to highlight those pieces safely.
The Mediterranean has a lot to offer regarding bathroom design inspiration.
Tuscan design offers warm, earthy palettes and natural textures. With Tuscan inspiration, you can create a beautiful stone-tiled shower.
Spanish design often highlights gorgeous, intricate tiles. You can incorporate Spanish-inspired tiles on your bathroom floor, walls, or both.
Grecian design often highlights beautiful seaside vistas. If you’ve got ocean (or lake, or even backyard pool) views, you can borrow from the Greeks by using light colors and highlighting your bathroom window.
