LE LUXURIANT LOO  Upon the 3rd floor of this posh restaurant and bar, find a gleaming boudoir of Parisian glam in the women’s powder room—emanating amazing natural light from its French-style Juliet balcony, as well as elegant artwork, opulent marble walls and plush seating for cocktail-fueled gossip.

INKED UNDERWATER  The bends are inevitable here, with an ominous sea creature taking over the entire bathroom in monochromatic grays. Crab friends await in the corner and a gothic-style mirror is set up to check out your fresh ink.

ALOHA IN MIND: Dispatch to a paradisiacal ‘lua’ (that’s Hawaiian for bathroom) inside this Pacific island eatery and hangout. Inspired by Maui wowie life, you can almost smell the pineapple and hibiscus while touching up your makeup, surrounded by the brightened palm leaf wallpaper and tropical decor. Designed by owner Ty Fushikoshi.   FushiPoke, 128 North Orange Ave., Sarasota, @fushipoke

DOODLES FOR DAYS  Got tickets for an upcoming show? At intermission be sure to take a peek at the quirky, abstract shapes exploding into a colorful smattering all around the walls at this downtown theater. The silver unicorn head on the bright blue door as a coat/bag hanger and the low, black ceilings feel peculiarly entertaining as well.

One, encompassing a fantastical explosion of vibrantly painted flowers covering every square-inch, and the other, an animated octopus keeps an eye on your beer for you. Selfies strongly encouraged by local artist Steph Swift of Restless Originals (@restlessoriginals).  99 Bottle’s Taproom & Bottleshop, 1445 2nd St., Sarasota, @99bottles.sarasota
