Just because white is the most classic bathroom color, doesn't mean it has to look boring. Jennifer Lopez's expertly accessorized space is the perfect example of this. Using accents in black and chrome with a splash of texture, she transforms a traditional white room into a design-led experience.
The actress revealed her white bathroom in a recent Instagram post, showcasing bright white walls and floors with a curved freestanding bathtub. Chrome hardware brings a metallic glint, while black frames mounted on the right wall add a touch of contrast. Perhaps most striking, Lopez has a selection of double-striped hotel-style Frette towels hanging on the wall.
It's full of lessons in how to make a white bathroom more interesting. 'Jennifer Lopez’s bathroom embodies a timeless elegance that is effortlessly chic,' says Nina Lichtenstein, Westchester-based interior designer. 'The space is a study in the art of simplicity, where every element harmonizes to create a serene and sophisticated retreat. With its all-white palette, from the walls and floor tiles to the bathtub, this bathroom serves as a masterclass in how to design a space that is both classic and contemporary.'
Lichtenstein continues on the spa bathroom look: 'A white bathroom is a design choice that never goes out of style. The beauty of white lies in its versatility – it reflects light, making spaces appear larger and more open, and serves as a neutral backdrop that can be easily updated with accessories and decor. White also exudes cleanliness and calm, qualities that are particularly desirable in a bathroom.'
Contrast is a huge part of making your white bathroom look interesting. Lichtenstein comments: 'Lopez has chosen simple black frames to adorn the walls. These frames, though understated, create contrast against the white walls, adding depth and breaking the monotony. The black and white combination is classic, ensuring that the decor remains timeless yet visually engaging. The simplicity of the frames ensures they do not overwhelm the space, allowing the bathroom’s minimalist elegance to shine through.'
Another easily replicable part of the scheme is Lopez's charcoal-striped towels. The white, cotton towels, with a simple, recognizable design lend any space the ambiance of a high-end hotel. When you lead with the best bath towels of 2024, it's simple to add a touch of texture and color to the space.
