Property Brothers: Snag Jonathan's Ideas For A Sophisticated Spanish Bathroom

Jonathan Scott has pulled off some spectacular home remodels and renovations on HGTV's "Property Brothers" with his brother Drew Scott. But, without the other half of the "Property Brother" dynamic duo, he's proved he's just as formidable of a home designer and has created some truly show-stopping homes on "Brother vs. Brother." One of his most impressive renovations came from "Brother vs. Brother" Season 7, Episode 4, where he showed that he could embrace and dominate the modern Spanish design style, making a net profit of $1.2 million on his flip. Although the remodel has many jaw-dropping elements, the master bathroom is a masterpiece worth noting. If you're looking for stylish bathroom remodel ideas that will inspire you, you'll want to take a page from Jonathan Scott's sophisticated Spanish bathroom, complete with a neutral color palette on the floors, walls, counters, and cabinets, mosaic tile, a large standing shower, a stand-alone soaking tub, double vanity, and mixed metal hardware.

Upon entering, fellow designer and guest judge Jasmine Roth said, "This is a beautiful bathroom," and was immediately drawn to the standing tub. She added, "Look at this tub, how can you see anything else before looking at this tub." She also commented on the mosaic tile patterns which she thought "a lot of people will like because it's beautiful." Below, we break down the must-have elements from this bathroom if you're aiming to steal Jonathan Scott's sophisticated Spanish bathroom style, plus we share tips on how to get the look without breaking the bank.

Must-have elements from Jonathan Scott's Spanish bathroom

Even though almost every part of Jonathan Scott's "Brother vs. Brother" bathroom gives us modern Spanish spa vibes, there are two elements of this renovation that stood out to us, Scott, and Jasmine Roth for their stunning appeal – the marble mosaic tile and the clawfoot tub. On his blog, Jonathan Scott shared, "Modern Spanish flair has been the name of the game in this house, and I'm bringing it into the main bathroom with more stunning tile and the statement piece: a clawfoot tub." Scott used stunning grey and white Bianco Dolomite marble mosaic tile in both the large shower and across the bathroom floors. The star of the show was the huge 72-inch clawfoot tub with a black exterior and copper exterior. These two design choices set the stage for a look that was totally Spanish-inspired with their ode to traditional elements, yet completely contemporary with its neutral, natural color palette and minimalist appeal.

If your bathroom isn't big enough for a clawfoot tub, we recommend stealing Jonathan Scott's all-over mosaic marble tile look and drenching your floors and shower in a similar tile style. To tap into the modern side of this Spanish style, do as this property brother did and opt for a modern neutral color scheme of white and grey. No matter what the size of your bathroom, you can utilize crisp white walls, a white stone countertop, and light grey cabinets like Scott. For that Spanish Euro-flair, steal Scott's classy, minimalist, mixed metal hardware incorporating brass, black, and gold.

Other ways to get the sophisticated Spanish style

Chances are, you might not have a $2 million house renovation budget to work with as Jonathan Scott did. But the good news is, there are cheap and creative ways to update your bathroom on a budget that still allows you to steal Jonathan Scott's modern Spanish bathroom style. We recommend taking Jonathan Scott's neutral color scheme of grey and white and starting by looking for a mosaic tile that's discounted or wholesale price. You can also further save money by DIY tiling your shower if you have time to spare. Secondly, the great thing about using mixed metal hardware is that you don't need to make everything match, and you can save more money by finding discounted, used, or mismatched hardware pieces. Just make sure that to maintain the modernism of the look, your selected pieces are minimalist and cohesive in the same room. The same goes for bathroom mirrors, decor, and art.

Jonathan Scott used a mixture of gold-framed mirrors, copper decor, mismatched stoneware, greenery, and photographs on the walls to decorate the bathroom. We recommend trying to decorate with flea market finds and thrift store bargains to complete the look. Looking for the perfect combination of traditional, Old-World elements and modern minimalist pieces will help you maintain the balance between modern and Spanish for an elevated timeless feel. Like Scott, keep the color scheme and overall style neutral and minimal to not overwhelm the space and let the mosaic tile shine.
