I Love Circus Tent Bathrooms




I know you've all probably seen these pictures before but I can't get enough of them. I have a very small {and I mean very small}, unrenovated bathroom at home and another unrenovated bathroom at the beach, one of which I would love to do in this style....one day!!

    Would they make you dizzy while you blowdried your hair?

    I was thrilled to see these pictures. I saw a similiar design in architectual digest a year or two ago and haven't been able to locate the issue. This is exactly what I need to show the painter- thank you!

    Yes, it looks very happy and alive. How could you leave these bathrooms in a sour mood?

    Hi Ann,I love this look.I love it with the black and white awning stripes.I have thought of doing this in a childs play room using a black and white silhouettes,numbers and letters.then adding colorful bedding and pillows.I think you should definitely do this look.LOVE IT!!!Kathysue,Micasastyle.com,my very small bathroom is featured on this sites design spot.It is only 6X10 and I gave it a ocean spa look.I put everything a large bath would have but with a lot less sq ftg.

    Speaking of Domino mag (the first image), did you all hear they're shutting it down? So sad. Last issue: March.

    i wanted to do this in our tiny bathroom as well, but with thinner white stripes. it was quickly vetoed by the boyfriend. i'm pretty sure it would have looked amazing though...

    The yellow one is cute, but the pink one is to die for - that shower situation is gorgeous!

    i think the bathroom is just about the only place i could handle the circus tent stripes, since it's not exactly a space you have to 'live' in. so very very fun!

    This is a great connection. This is a wonderfully fun look. I am currently working on a small bathroom that I am putting a wild wallpaper in. A small room can handle a loud pattern in it - plus - you don't spend THAT much time in it!

    I love tent styled bathrooms too! I haven't seen the yellow one yet. Stephen Shubel has a black and white one.
