Install a bold vanity

And bold doesn't have to mean wild colors or unexpected silhouettes. We love how this round mirror floats above thesink, allowing space for the deep blue shiplap to shine. Designed by Outline Interiors, the cherries on top are the wall sconces-the height and fact that they're facing each other adds lots of charm.

Have fun with a hand-painted vibe

If there's one thing that can add a bit of fun to some white walls, it's a hand-painted mural. But the reality is that renting inhibits how permanent you can get when it comes to decor. The solution? Wallpaper that looks like a hand painted mural. We love this water scene Outline Interiors went with for this bright bathroom-follow suit if you're looking want to steer clear of solo-color walls and want something that will instantly relax you.

Frame the bathtub in blue

When you've got a standalone tub, you want to make the most of it-that includes making it a focal point of your bathroom. Outline Interiors accentuated the sloped ceiling above the tub by outfitting the entire nook in deep blue subway tile. Keeping the floor a simple white helps make the grout pop, creating an optical illusion of sorts.

Play with tile shape

The herringbone pattern of the tile in this bathroom takes the wonderfully moody vibe to a new level. Keeping thewalls a tad lighter helped accentuate the shape, resulting in a calm space that's full of texture (the woven baskets help!).All together, it's a balance that can be hard to achieve-cozy without weighing you down.
