Is It a Bathroom… or a Portal?

If you were that kid who dreamed of a secret passageway, a portal – perhaps to Narnia or the Ministry of Magic or your favorite destination – and never quite grew out of it, you can (sort of) bring your dream to life when you decorate your home.

Chances are, that gateway that you imagined was in a closet or at an entry point. Bet you never thought that it would be in the bathroom! But that’s exactly where kids-at-heart like you choose to put their portals.

Bathrooms are usually designed with practicality, not imagination, in mind. These six bathrooms defy that rule with whimsical decor designed to make you feel like you’re entering another realm.

Do you dream of nature? Foliage, quiet winding paths, meandering waterside strolls? Let your portal bathroom transport you there:
