Interior designer Molly Erin Carter of Molly Erin Designs got creative when balancing the budget in this 55-square-foot master bathroom in Sacramento, California. She chose three different inexpensive white tiles and played with different patterns to create an original look. Detail to note: Carter painted the ceiling black to amp up the dramatic contrast.
PRO thebuilderdepot Hi entley6797 , I'll jump in and try my best at guessing. It is looks like a Carrara Bianco 12x24" set in a standard staggered brick format. The cost of real Italian marble can vary significantly from Traditional Tile and Stone retailers at $60 to $100 a Square Foot to direct online Italian importers at $9.95 a Square foot. We offer Italian 12x24" 'C' grade premium marble tile for $9.95 a Square Foot along with another 330 different matching products.
Consider LED Lights Lights can get the short shrift in bathrooms, but they make a big difference to the final effect. “Use good-quality LED spotlights for your bathroom,” Baker suggests. “They may cost a little more initially, but you’ll make savings sooner than you think, and you won’t have the inconvenience of constantly changing lightbulbs.”
5. Ceiling Track Shower Curtains The classic and simple shower curtain might seem outdated to some, but it can still be convenient and stylish, especially when hung from a ceiling track. “I have done a fair number of shower curtains on a ceiling track, which is an affordable and stylish way to install a curtain,” designer Kate Roos says. She had a curved track mounted to the ceiling in this Minneapolis bathroom. “Clients are wanting simplicity, and for many, a shower curtain is easy to maintain and replace if needed,” Roos says. “The curtain track is a sleek way to mount the curtain without the need for a rod running across the space.” Kate Roos Design LLC An image of the same shower curtain closed shows the cl
6. Shower ledges. Many designers feel that installing a shower ledge is more straightforward than installing a niche, because a ledge requires only building out a few inches into the shower space instead of carving out space between studs. Run your ledge along the length of your shower stall, as designer Katy Popple did here, and you’ll have tons of space for shower essentials.
An exception to this tip would be tinted and antiqued mirror tiles or mirror tiles used in a room with many dark finishes. In those cases, bring a grout swatch into the room and see if it matches the general colors in the space. After all, the appearance of the mirror will depend on what it is reflecting. Ultimately, a very tight spacing between the tiles with minimal grout will be best, so the color needn’t be a perfect match to every conceivable tone.
5. Use a shower base instead of tiling the floor. Architectural designer Alison Strickland was not a fan of having to clean grout lines in the shower. So she used a shower base for the floor of her shower stall and designed the space around it. The ledge and the base seen here are made from a material called Krion from Porcelanosa.

The large master bathroom includes a walk-in shower and a freestanding tub. The shower walls are covered in marble subway tiles, and the floors are covered in marble laid in a chevron pattern. The custom double vanity is painted in Hinting Blue from Sherwin-Williams. “Blue is the one color that both homeowners like, so we tried to weave it into every room of the house,” Pierce says.
In the shower, the tile is a mix of 6-by-8-inch rectangular ceramic tiles, which have a more vintage look, and a Calacatta marble mosaic, which is an updated choice. (The bench is also Calacatta marble.) The new shower fixtures lean vintage, while the clear glass enclosure is more modern.
Once you’ve decided on the perfect light fixtures for the sides of your bathroom mirror, it’s important to get the height right. The exact height to hang your fixtures will depend on who uses the bathroom most. But a general rule is to hang the fixture at eye level, usually somewhere between 65 and 70 inches from the floor. The team at Zimal Contracting and Restorations hung two white pendant lights from the sloped ceiling of this bathroom in British Columbia.
The color palette in the hall bathroom comes from the colors in the Carrara marble on the shower surround and floor. The shower tiles are 6-by-24-inch elongated subway tiles with a honed finish, and the floor is composed of 1-by-3-inch polished Carrara tiles arranged in a herringbone pattern. The mirror has integrated side strip LED lights, which adds a clean modern element. Splurges and saves. Splurges on the remodel include the cabinetry, appliances, electrical fixtures and fans. By not finishing the basement and salvaging as many windows as possible, they were able to save on the budget.
