Bathroom Designs Inspired by Joanna Gaines and Fixer Upper
I have been inspired by Joanna Gaines’ bathroom designs on her very popular Fixer Upper show. Her style is welcoming, relaxing and full of practical ideas. As I’ve been working away at accessorizing our bathroom for Spring, I spent a little time researching bathroom decor, and looked for similar ideas & styles to those Joanna uses.
Every bathroom has it’s own floor plan and quirks, so I looked for ideas that might adapt to specific areas and problems I’m trying to address. Maybe some of these inspirations might help you solve a problem of your own. Here’s what I found:

I love the styling of these bathroom shelves by Not Just a Housewife. I have shelves like these in both of our bathrooms…so now I must work on styling them!;)

I love everything about this modern farmhouse bathroom makeover at Bless ‘er House ~ the shelves, the mirror frame, the styling, and the beautiful fresh color of the room. Beautiful!

What on earth do you put above the toilet? Our house came with an upper cabinet, but I discovered this new creative idea ~ a ladder! Cute and unique. You should check out the whole bathroom reno. You won’t believe what it looked like before!

In the course of my bathroom research travels, I discovered a new to me blog ~ A Thoughtful Place. In it, she has a series called “Fixer Upper ~ The Takeaways“. Oh, mercy, I could spend hours pouring over those pictures. The above bathroom is one designed by Joanna Gaines herself.
Do any of these bathrooms inspire you?

This article feels simple yet quite inspiring, especially how it explains making a bathroom cozy using textures, greenery, and lighting elements . It gives the idea that even small changes can completely shift the mood of a space. Nowadays, people want not just design but a relaxing entertainment vibe too, like enjoying anime content in a calm setting . Overall, the article stays practical and ends with a strong sense of inspiration for transforming bathroom spaces.
This bathroom design is cozy yet modern, with great texture mixes, real-life inspiration, and just a few tweaks needed for smaller spaces.
Joanna Gaines really has a gift for making bathrooms feel calm and lived-in, not just “styled.” Love how these ideas focus on practical beauty—shelves, baskets, and textures that actually work in real homes.
Such a refreshed take on bathroom design, I especially like how you mixed textures (tile, wood, matte finishes) to keep the space cozy yet modern. The gallery of real completed bathrooms really helps bring the ideas to life.
One small thought: adding a few tips on lighting schemes (ambient vs task vs accent) and small layout changes (like towel placement or shelf depth) could help readers adapt these looks to smaller bathrooms.
Thanks for the inspiration, definitely bookmarking this one for future renovations!
Can I buy these shelves?
I don’t sell the shelves, but I have seen some similar at Hobby Lobby.
