16 Studio McGee Bathrooms to Swoon Over
No matter how many designers emerge in the industry, Studio McGee will forever remain my favorite.

And as I wait, I happily scroll through and swoon over their previously designed spaces, while indulging in reruns of Dream Home Makeover.
In this blog post, I’m sharing 16 of my favorite bathrooms designed by Studio McGee. Each one has its own unique charm while staying true to the classic Studio McGee aesthetic.
If you’re searching for bathroom inspiration, look no further. This post is for all the bathroom lovers out there!
1. Matching Cabinet Hardware to Cabinet Color
I just love the simplicity of this bathroom design! The classic checkered floor adds so much charm, and the soft curves of the mirror balance out the clean, straight lines of the floor and cabinets perfectly. Studio McGee really nails the art of mixing metals. You’ve got the matte black wall sconce, polished nickel faucets, and that gorgeous brass door knob all working together seamlessly with the monochromatic cabinet hardware. If minimalist luxury is your thing, this bathroom is such a great inspiration! It’s also a great illustration of how you can match hardware with the cabinet color for a cohesive look.
2. White Doesn’t Have to be Boring
If white is your favorite color for a bathroom but you’re worried it might feel boring, this design shows how you can make white full of character. The thick vanity slab with its bold marble veining and the herringbone shower tiles bring so much movement to the space, it’s anything but dull! You can totally do the same by playing around with your countertop and shower tiles. These two features have such a big impact on the overall vibe of a bathroom, so you can feel confident sticking with white.
3. Over-the-Top Luxury with Sophisticated Style
This is the perfect inspiration for anyone dreaming of an over-the-top luxurious bathroom but the kind of luxury that feels elegant, not flashy. This space is stunning, sophisticated, and effortlessly chic. Wondering why it works so well? Let me break it down: the wall molding adds timeless charm, the aged brass wall sconce and vintage-style chandelier over the bathtub bring in a touch of old-world elegance, and the brass shelves tie it all together. These thoughtful choices are what make this bathroom scream luxury, in the most sophisticated way!
4. You Don’t Have to Mix Metals to Make a Statement
If you’re nervous about mixing metals and not sure how to get it right, this bathroom is a perfect example of how to keep it cohesive while adding variety. The trick? Stick to the same metal but play with different finishes. For instance, the wall sconce and the cabinet hardware has a darker tone compared to the faucet and napkin holder, while the mirror rim beautifully complements the lighter tones. It’s a subtle yet stunning way to add depth and interest without stepping out of your comfort zone.
5. No Need to Ditch the Wide Mirror
Designers usually shy away from large mirrors in bathrooms, as they tend to feel less custom and more builder-grade. But this inspiration is for those who don’t agree with that approach and still want to elevate their bathrooms. You can absolutely keep the big mirror! The key is to focus on the rim and border. Avoid the typical builder-grade look, and your space won’t feel dated. The clean, simple lines of this mirror pair beautifully with the vanity details here. So, no need to ditch the wide mirror, just make the right choice!
6. Wallpaper Adds So Much Character
With its breathtaking vanity and stunning oval mirror, this bathroom is already swoon-worthy, even without the wallpaper. But the addition of the wallpaper, with its dense details, takes it to a whole new level, adding so much character and making the space more dramatic and exciting. If you’re on the fence about using wallpaper with rich colors and intricate patterns in your bathroom, let this inspiration show you how pairing it with a simple yet classy vanity creates a perfect visual balance without feeling overwhelming.
7. Gorgeous Floating Vanity
While this is another beautiful example of wallpaper with intricate patterns in a bathroom, I really want to draw your attention to the vanity. Wall-mounted or floating vanities are a fantastic alternative if you’re looking to break away from the typical look and add a bit of drama to your bathroom. They’re especially great for a powder room, where storage might not be as important. And as for this inspiration, could this vanity be any more swoon-worthy? The soft curves, the vertical wood grain, and the stunning countertop details are an absolute showstopper!
8. A Stunning Vanity is All You Need
If you’re not looking to make too many changes in your bathroom but still want it to feel expensive and luxurious, investing in a gorgeous vanity is the way to go! Like in this inspiration, the vanity stands out beautifully against the neutral monochrome surroundings. The fluted drawer details, simple yet elegant leg design, and eye-catching knob hardware are absolutely breathtaking. It instantly becomes the center of attention and a stunning focal point you can’t take your eyes off of! A well-chosen vanity truly goes a long way in sprucing up your bathroom.
9. Elegant Faucet
There’s so much to love in this inspiration; the marble countertop with stunning veining, the fluted vanity with its curved details, and the elegant wall molding around the mirror. But what truly caught my eye was the bridge faucet. You might think a bridge faucet is a thing of the past and in some ways, it is; but if you’re looking to add character, warmth, and personality to your bathroom, a gorgeous bridge faucet might just be the perfect choice.
10. Taking Inspiration from the Wallpaper
What I love about this inspiration is how the cabinet hardware selection draws directly from the wallpaper design. And it’s not just the hardware, the shape of the mirror also mirrors the wallpaper pattern beautifully. If you’re feeling stuck when making these design choices, let your wallpaper guide you! It’s a great way to create a cohesive and intentional look.
11. Mixing Vintage with Modern
The standout feature in this bathroom has to be the vintage farmhouse sink. This large, exposed sink is a total showstopper and pairs beautifully with the modern mirror and light fixture. If you’re a fan of vintage vibes but not keen on decking your bathroom out in brass or gold, this inspiration shows how you can still achieve that look without compromising on your preferences. Mixing vintage elements with modern touches is such a clever way to blend the best of both worlds. And can we talk about the tongue-and-groove wainscoting and hexagon tiles? They add just the right amount of texture and variation to the design.
12. Neutral Haven
This bathroom is classic Studio McGee, drenched in dreamy neutrals. If you’re a fan of a neutral palette, this one’s for you! The warm wooden planks on the ceiling and the brass hardware add just the right amount of coziness, making this space feel instantly calming and relaxing—perfect for melting stress away. I also love how that wall sconce is installed directly on the mirror instead of beside it. Such a unique and clever design choice!
13. Moody Bathroom
This is such a fantastic inspiration for a powder bathroom! Moody vibes are a popular choice for powder baths, and it’s easy to see why. Just look at how the wall color and countertop blend seamlessly to create that rich, dramatic atmosphere. And the wall sconce? It’s the perfect jewel to complete the look. Save this inspiration if you’re looking to elevate your powder bath with a touch of moody sophistication!
14. Clever Use of Color
Studio McGee is truly the G.O.A.T. when it comes to using colors in spaces, and this bathroom is a perfect example. The minty, sage green has been used so thoughtfully, you can’t help but fall in love with this inspiration. The painted window trim in between the wainscoting on either ends create such a stunning connection, acting as a bridge that gives the entire design a sense of flow and continuity. If you’re lucky enough to have a spacious bathroom like this with a window, I’d highly recommend trying out a similar look. It’s simply breathtaking!
15. Stone Wall as Focal Point
In this inspiration, the neutral tones of the stone wall blend so effortlessly with the dark gray floors, creating a space that feels both timeless and grounded. I can’t get enough of how the textures work together to bring warmth and character to the design. The stone wall is undoubtedly the focal point here, adding old-world charm and making this bathroom a completely swoon-worthy space. If you’re looking for a way to make a statement, this is it!
And that’s a wrap! These were the 15 most stunning bathrooms designed by none other than Studio McGee, the ultimate maestro of timeless design. Which one was your favorite inspiration? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
