Bathrooms don't have to be plain and boring. There's more inspiration out there than ever before when it comes to making powder rooms, primary bathrooms, and smaller half-baths go beyond your typical sink, toilet, and shower. From bright wallpaper and patterned tile to rustic patinas and colorful walls, you'll find something in the list below that will help inspire your next remodel.

About This Term: Primary Bathroom

Many real estate associations, including the National Association of Home Builders, have classified the term "Master Bedroom" (or "Master Bathroom") as discriminatory. "Primary Bedroom" is the name now widely used among the real estate community and better reflects the purpose of the room.
