2. Welcome home
Warm-toned timber makes this designer bathroom all the more welcoming, a feature material echoed throughout the rest of the house. Recessed niches and streamlined storage make this bathroom practical as well as aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

3. Space-enhancing design
This Pandan Valley apartment incorporates pale-toned timber to make the most of the natural light, while a floating vanity helps the bathroom feel vastly more spacious. A mirror runs the length of the double-basin vanity and a wall of mirrored cabinets both amplifies the space and adds storage galore.

4. Resort-style living
From the outside this home looks ultra-contemporary, but step inside and the interiors transport you directly to five-star resort-style setting. Fusing timber and marble materials with unexpected – and almost space-age – features, this bathroom is positively swoon worthy. The mosaic-tiled shower is a departure from the rest of the bathroom, but somehow it just works.

6. Marble marvel
Greg Shand Architects describes this home as “resort-like yet restful, with abundant natural lighting” and the same can be said of the main bathroom. The home’s grand proportions come into play here, and the expanses of marble give it a high-end look.

7. Cohesive look
This terrace house may be modest in size but what it lacks in space it makes up for in style. The patchwork wall tiles in the bathroom reappear on the floor of the kitchen and hallway, and similar tones are used throughout the home.

8. East meets west
Dark timber and textured walls contribute to this bathroom’s distinctly Asian style, while a mix of natural and clever artificial lighting enhances the ambience.

9. The wonders of wood
The design team aimed to capture modern design through clean straight lines in this new build, but a creative selection of materials have added a warm, almost rustic touch – seen in the vanity and window screens in this bathroom.

10. Reflective space
Mirrors, glass and glossy surfaces have been used with purpose in this house, where an oasis-like internal courtyard floods the bathroom with natural light. Like the rest of the house, the bathroom’s colour palette – white with a splash of grey – makes it feel cool and contemporary.

11. Smart arrangement
This bathroom may be on the compact end of the scale, but its space-conscious design means it still manages to accommodate a double vanity with ease. An abundance of marble enhances the sense of space and luxury.

12. Black on white
Texture steals the show in this Architology-designed bathroom in an apartment in Regent Park. It’s all white but for the door, and a floor-to-ceiling mirror works wonders.
