A zen bathroom is a spa in miniature: warm wood, cool stone, one plant and a soak that takes as long as it likes.

What a zen bathroom looks like

Floors and shower areas use pebble or slate tile in soft greys, and the walls are plain plaster or large stone-look tile. A cedar or teak bench and a duckboard mat add warmth, while a freestanding soaking tub or a deep rain-shower area is the focus. The vanity is a simple wooden block with a stone vessel basin, and a round mirror with a wood frame hangs above it. Lighting is low and warm, from a paper lantern or a wall wash, and a bamboo stem or a small fern sits on the ledge.

Try it on your own bathroom

Upload a photo of your bathroom, restyle it in Zen, and send the result to whoever shares the space as a which-one poll. Then step inside the winner in 360°. The tub, shower and toilet stay where the plumbing puts them; tile, vanity, mirror, lighting and accessories are what change.

Details worth getting right

  • Pair one warm material, cedar or teak, with one cool one, stone or slate, and stop there
  • A rain shower head and a wooden bench signal the style more than any decoration
  • Warm indirect light at a low level beats a bright overhead fitting for the spa feel
  • Plants that like steam, such as bamboo, ferns and orchids, will do far better here than a dried arrangement
