Millie Bobby Brown's bathroom taps into a popular, brightening interior design trend that will be huge in 2024
The actress's bathroom is a beautiful celebration of light-enhancing material – and experts say the look will be everywhere in the year ahead
Leave it to Millie Bobby Brown to make the mundane magnificent. The actress has shared a TikTok in her gray and silver bathroom and it perfectly captures how to brighten a space.
Brown's bathroom idea incorporates white paint alongside a high gloss, sparkly tile wall. Behind her, we see her large windows filling the space with natural light and the long rectangular mirror reflecting it. Because of its playful, bright qualities, we predict this look will be a huge interior design trend for 2024.
The beautiful, shimmering bathroom wall has gained attention from design experts. Acclaimed Westchester-based interior designer Nina Lichtenstein tells Homes & Gardens: 'Millie Bobby Brown, known for her impeccable taste on and off the screen, has turned heads with a dazzling design choice in her bathroom—an awe-inspiring sparkly wall that adds a touch of magic to her daily routine. This unique feature, a glittering statement, imparts visual impact and enhances the overall ambiance of her space.'

She continues, 'Specifically, the sparkly wall in Millie Bobby Brown's bathroom is nothing short of mesmerizing. Adorned with shimmering elements, it creates a captivating focal point that immediately draws the eye. This distinctive choice brings a sense of whimsy and glamour to the room, elevating it beyond the ordinary.' For these reasons, the look is poised to become a bathroom trend for 2024.
Nina Lichtenstein is the founder and principal home designer at her eponymous design studio, based in Westchester, NY. Nina believes that home design should capture a family’s unique spirit by how it serves the family's daily needs while nourishing the soul. She has been celebrated for designing, renovating, and building elegant living spaces.
'Moreover, the sparkly wall plays a strategic role in amplifying natural light within the bathroom,' adds Lichtenstein. 'Positioned opposite a window, the wall acts as a reflective surface, bouncing light rays across the room. This interaction not only brightens the space but also creates a dynamic interplay of light and texture, transforming the ambiance throughout the day.'
Brown's bathroom mirror is another aspect that adds brighteness to the space. Kathy Kuo, award-winning NYC-based interior designer adds: 'The sparkly mirror in this bathroom design gives the overall look a feeling of youthfulness and whimsy. I love that the sparkles are subtle and they feel fun and playful without feeling at all gimmicky or distracting. It's the perfect slightly trendy touch for a young person like Millie!'
Kathy Kuo is a celebrated interior designer and international guru within the home and lifestyle space. She has 20+ years of experience in the design industry.
'The presence of a silver mirror hanging against the wall creates a harmonious relationship,' adds Lichtenstein. 'The reflective frame of the mirror emphasizes the sparkling texture of the wall, enhancing its brilliance and adding depth to the overall aesthetic.'
