16 Drop-Dead Gorgeous Hollywood Regency-Style Bathroom Ideas

When it comes to designing a home with sumptuous details and timeless glamour, there's no better style to draw inspiration from than Hollywood Regency. Featuring plenty of bold patterns, gold accents, jewel tones, and statement chandeliers, the golden age of Hollywood's interior design is all about opulence and decadence. And what better room to channel these very characteristics in than the one meant for pampering and relaxation?

Designer Samantha Todhunter loves to bring the drama to her interiors, especially bathrooms, like the one pictured above. "We love designing bathrooms because you can have an amazing time with stone and lighting, and we love the idea of making that utilitarian space feel like a room rather than just a place to bathe," she says.

"We like to play with the utilitarian and dress-up elements by adding details that you wouldn't traditionally expect, like lovely armchairs and upholstered stools, curtains and rugs that infuse the space with a laid-back, old-school Hollywood glamour. Have fun with the space and give it high-octane glamour by tiling it in its entirety, running the tiles across the floor and up the walls, even across the ceiling. There is something really fun and indulgent in that."

Whether you're starting from ground zero in a primary bathroom renovation or sprucing up your powder room, we've found 15 foolproof Hollywood Regency-style bathroom ideas that are sure to give your home the perfect shot of glamour.

Even though black and white is a classic choice for old Hollywood glamour, saturated colors can really pack a punch. Go for jewel tones — as seen in the flowers and hand towels here — and rich shades of blue-green like this jade-hued penny tile from Tilebar. Keep the overall palette sophisticated with a heavy dose of black, white, and gold.
