Master Bathroom Design Plans | Marble & Gold Bathroom

I am sharing the design mood boards and some bathroom inspiration images that have inspired our marble and gold master bathroom.

With our new pole barn home kitchen now finished and shared with you, we have turned our focus onto the second most important space to finish in our home.  If you have ever lived with only 1 small bathroom for 6 human beings . . . you know what space that is.

The master bathroom!  Oh, how I simply cannot wait to have a functioning second bathroom!  We’ve already made some progress, which you can see on my Instagram Stories in my saved highlights.  

But today I want to share bits of the planning process with you.  I’d like to share these 3 things:

1. My digital design mood boards
2. My bathroom design elements
3. Some of my favorite marble bathroom inspiration images.

I think bringing together all of those things is very important in the planning stage of any space.

MARBLE BATHROOM DESIGN MOOD BOARDS

Before I have anything physical for the room, I like to bring my prospective design plans together in a digital mood board first.

This really helps me make the best decisions before I purchase anything.

If you’ve ever wanted to know how to do this yourself, I shared a video and post all about how I create a digital mood board.

For now, let me show you what I’ve come up with for our Master Bathroom.

Marble and gold finishes is what it is all about!  It is not a very large bathroom, so I felt empowered to use materials that I wouldn’t likely be able to afford to use on a bigger bathroom.

Here are some of the sources for the items pictured above, incase you see something you like as well. Not all have actually been or will be purchased, but are serving as inspiration for when the times comes that I can go shopping!

• White wood vanity
• 6 x 12 Carrara marble for shower and walls
• 3 x 9 Carrara marble for floor
• Hexagon Carrara marble for shower floor
• Carrara marble chair rail
• Carrara marble base moulding
• Gold Shower faucet
• Gold Sink Faucet
• Gold Towel bar
• Robe and Towels
• Scalloped glass Pendant
• Linear Sconce
• Lovely Vintage Lady Print
• Pewter Towel

I’d love to hear what you think of all these design elements! They feel very soothing to me.

MARBLE AND GOLD BATHROOM DESIGN ELEMENTS

Having received many of the items already, I had some fun laying out the goodies and taking some images of how they look together.

I love how the marble brings in the cool tones, and the gold warms it all up.

The textures feel natural, organic, and you can never have too much marble! (in my humble opinion).

I do feel so grateful and honored to be partnering with Floor & Decor for this project and the posts to come. They have such an amazing marble selection, and I’ll be sure to be back to share our process for installing all the marble tile and more details as it all comes together.

MARBLE AND GOLD BATHROOM INSPIRATION IMAGES

I don’t think I need to share a ton of images for you to see how lovely and timeless marble and gold are.

Case in point, this beautiful bathroom by STAGG Design.

It’s the image that convinced me I needed big rectangles for the walls.

Another lovely marble bathroom belongs to the talented Chestnut Hill & Studio.

This bathroom, while not huge, feels crisp and clean with the marble and gold. It’s the bathroom that convinced me we needed to add a half wall to our shower.

And this image from the same source convinced me I needed a bench with a cute cubby on the other side of the half wall.

This is my “someday bathroom shower”, where the marble trim is installed in picture frame moulding style. Image from At Home in Arkansas.

It was past our budget to do so, but we did manage to fit in some beautiful marble baseboard and chair rail like above. Because our bathroom is so small, it worked into the budget.

I’ve always been inspired by the marble walls inside the bathroom of French Country Cottage.

It adds such a beautiful elegance and sings to my marble loving heart.

Finally, an image just to show how well marble and gold go together . . . incase you don’t agree with me yet. A lovely shot by Lace and Locks.

I have been asked on Instagram if the upkeep of marble was worth it. We did a marble bathroom in our last house and I loved it!

It does need to be re-sealed every once in a while, but to be surrounded by such beauty is well worth it for me. I find it wipes down easily and stays looking beautiful for a very long time. I keep some A-Ben-a-Qui on hand to scrub the grout, and it helps a ton.

I hope you’ll check in as I share our progress and reveal with you soon! Of course, we are DIY’ing everything so it takes a little longer – but it is always worth it!

I’d love to hear what you think of marble and gold, or if you prefer a different combo.

Thank you so much for reading!
