🌿 Why This Earthy Bathroom Went Viral — And How to Recreate the Look

Mar 11

2 million views and counting — here’s why Pinterest can’t get enough of this serene, spa-inspired bathroom design, and how you can bring the same feeling into your own home.

What Makes This Bathroom So Irresistible?

This space has all the elements of a modern sanctuary — warm textures, grounding colors, and luxurious simplicity. It doesn’t shout for attention; it invites you in. Let’s break down what’s working:

1. The Color Palette

The deep green walls provide a moody, natural backdrop that feels both modern and timeless. While I can’t confirm the exact paint used, similar shades include:

Sherwin-Williams “Ripe Olive”
Benjamin Moore “Tarrytown Green”

The green is perfectly balanced by light wood cabinetry, warm brass fixtures, and soft natural lighting, creating a calm, grounded aesthetic.

2. The Shower Arch

The unique marble tile shower framed by an arched entry adds architectural interest and a soft, sculptural touch — no harsh lines here. The visual flow is seamless, and the arch subtly nods to old-world European luxury.

3. Material Contrast

Vanity: Light-stained wood with a marble countertop.
Flooring: A terrazzo or mosaic-style tile — the exact brand is unknown, but look for mixed-stone tiles with neutral speckles for a similar look.
Rug: A muted vintage-inspired runner brings warmth and softness to the space.

How to Recreate the Look at Home

You don’t need a full remodel to bring this vibe into your own space. Here are a few staging and styling tips you can implement on any budget:

💡 Paint It Bold

A rich, nature-inspired green instantly elevates the mood. Test swatches in your light before committing, but don't be afraid to go bold.

💡 Warm Up with Wood

Opt for wood tones that are soft, not orange. Oak, ash, or walnut veneers are ideal. If replacing cabinetry isn’t an option, consider a peel-and-stick vinyl front or a wood-toned paint job.

💡 Layer in Texture

Even the cleanest spaces feel more alive with texture. Try:

A vintage or vintage-style rug
Woven baskets
A stone-look countertop
Brushed brass or champagne bronze finishes

💡 Mind the Details

Curate a few ceramic or amber-glass accessories
Add fresh or dried greenery (like eucalyptus or pampas)
Use warm-toned lightbulbs to mimic natural glow

🏡 Why This Design Works for Selling & Staging

This look taps into what buyers want most right now:

A sense of calm and escape
Simple elegance with personality
A stunning architectural feature with the arched shower enclosure
Natural materials that feel both elevated and approachable

As a stager and real estate professional, I often help homeowners create spaces that emotionally resonate with buyers — and this bathroom is a perfect example of how thoughtful design makes a lasting impression.

💬 Wondering About the Floor?

You’re not alone! One of the most common questions I get about this pin is “What is that tile?”

While I can’t confirm the exact brand, look for:

Porcelain terrazzo-look tiles
Mosaic sheets with mixed marble chips
Matte finish tiles in off-white with speckled tones

I'll continue researching, and if I find a perfect match, I’ll update this post!
