Bathroom
Like the wall tile pattern and floor tile. Also note black ceiling paint. To keep to the budget, she knew she needed to use inexpensive tile. She picked three different sizes of standard white tile at a big-box store. “We knew we needed to make the inexpensive tile look fancy so we got creative. We played around with them on the floor of the store and came up with this pattern,” she says. She alternated the three different tiles in horizontal stripes, using a running bond pattern and dark grout. The square tiles nod to midcentury modern design but the composition is fresh and unique. Carter lined up the large niches to correspond with the pattern. “I think everyone needs niches that can handle Costco-size bottles of shampoo,” she says.
If not too much money, consider this layout for current upstairs bathroom. This bathroom is 50 sq.ft. 5'w x 10'd. To save space and make the 5-foot-wide space feel more open, the team took a wall-mount approach. “Nothing in here touches the floor,” Supple says. The vanity and the toilet float above it. The wall-mounted toilet tank is hidden behind the wall and accessible for repairs through a panel. And wall-mounted faucets free up inches of depth on the vanity.
Between the floating quality of the midcentury walnut double vanity and the impressive natural views, this San Francisco-area bathroom is brimming with organic charm. The walls were finished in concrete plaster to waterproof them, designer Amy Friedberg says, while a deep freestanding tub encourages regular calming soaks.
Reminds me of downstairs shower but ceiling track gives a different look. 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 Ceiling Track Shower Curtains The classic and simple shower curtain might seem outdated to some, but it can still be convenient and stylish, especially when hung from a ceiling track.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.”
Like the Large-Format Tiles for entire bathroom - walls, shower base and floors. When it comes to selecting tile for your shower, there’s a wide range of styles, patterns and colors to choose from, but when it comes to tile size, designers are telling us that bigger might be better. “The most popular style of shower tiles being used is large-format tiles,” says designer Frankie Castro of Square Footage, who added 24-by-48-inch marble-look porcelain tiles to the shower walls of this Toronto master bathroom. Castro thinks that large-format tile is a look that will be around for a while. “Large-format tiles are more visually appealing because they require fewer grout lines compared to smaller tiles,” Castro says. “They’re also a great choice to make smaller rooms appear larger, with less visual distraction.”
Like the floor to ceiling glass A bathtub was sacrificed to make room for this streamlined shower with a floor-to-ceiling glass partition that makes the ceiling seem higher. Black wall tile measuring 12 by 24 inches in a straight-lay pattern with black grout in the shower, combined with a partial glass door framed in black metal, gives the room a bold look.
Gorgeous powder room! Build a backdrop. Words can’t describe the perfection of this bathroom scene, with a subtly stylish background of hexagonal wall tiles showing off a statement sink. What to match with it? A plain, floor that doesn’t vie for attention, black faucets that add a custom contemporary edge and a simple frameless mirror that echoes the shape of the sink.
Add a glimmer of glamour. There’s something particularly appealing about hexagonal tiles with a dash of mother-of-pearl or glitter about them, but if you’re going to use them wall to wall, ensure that you match them with plain surfaces that don’t compete for attention. This vanity is the ideal companion for the tiles, with its glossy surface standing up to —but not outshining — the tiles above it.
Maybe smaller tile on walls and larger tile/less grout in shower and on floor. Go wall to wall. Do you like a nautical vibe your bathroom? This tiny shower room, with its wall-to-wall and floor tiles, all hexagons, has the feel of a ship’s cabin. If you’re trying this look (along with the gray grout), invest in effective lighting, break up the tiles with a large mirror, and paint the ceiling bright white to reflect the light.
Create a feature wall. We’re familiar with feature walls in living rooms and bedrooms, but they’re often overlooked in bathrooms, where they’re useful for creating defined zones. Here, shiny hexagonal tiles transform what could be a plain shower area into one that’s as pretty as a picture. Even the dividing wall has a touch of glamour.
Walk-in shower. The 6½-by-7-foot shower has a large floating quartz bench and two shower heads. Textural tile covers the back wall, sloped ceiling and skylight surround. Large-format subway tile in a stacked pattern covers the two side walls. Other special features. Natural walnut vanity. “To enhance the spa atmosphere, we used teak slats on the ceiling,” Burton says. “Recessed lighting was cut into the slats and trimmed out seamlessly.” Designer tip. “My biggest tip regarding this space is not to be afraid to use dark, dramatic colors,” Burton says. “In this instance, the goal was not to make the room appear bigger; it was to create drama and style.” “Uh-oh” moment. “Our biggest challenge was in executing the countertops and bench,” Burton says. “I wanted the bench to be seamlessly integrated with the countertop, and to appear as though it is floating. This was quite the engineering challenge. There are several pieces of structural steel hidden inside the bench to allow it to ‘magically float.’”
Like how big the ledge is for sitting and that there is a separate showerhead over this area - great as we age. “Uh-oh” moment. “Originally we had an operable window, but since the gas meter needed to be placed within 3 feet of the window, we created a frosted fixed-glass window for light and privacy,” Wylie says. “There was also a lot of coordination done when installing the tile so that there was the illusion of perfection. We worked with the tile installer to tweak the sizes of a few of the tile cuts in order for grout joints to line up with windows and other elements.” Designer tip. “A bathroom does not have to be huge to feel airy and spa-like,” Wylie says. “Using some simple tricks with space planning, natural light and mirrors, a bathroom can feel great. Also, editing the palette to minimize the amount of materials, colors and textures creates a more timeless, effortless look. You can always add color and trendy elements in things that are not as permanent as tile and countertops.”
Walk-in-shower. “This is a roll-in shower with sliding glass doors rather than a swinging door, so it is easily accessible,” Wylie says. “We included a bench, which is tucked behind the solid wall where all the plumbing components live, to make the space visually as clean as possible.” Black penny tile covers the shower floor, bench and shower head wall, creating a nonslip surface. Wylie cut down 12-by-24-inch gray ceramic tile to 6 by 24 inches for a “cooler proportion,” she says, on the bathroom walls and floor and part of the shower.
Like the shower - possibly good option if we convert office to master bathroom. The master bathroom includes large-format ceramic floor tiles that mimic the look of concrete. The double vanity is white oak with matte black pulls. The walls around the vanity are board-formed concrete. The walk-in shower includes a handheld shower head and a rainfall shower head, both in matte black. The shower surround is covered in white porcelain tiles. Two custom shower niches provide storage for toiletries.
Bathroom at a Glance Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma Size: 120 square feet (11 square meters) Designers: Danielle Palm and Rocci Chandler of Rose Rock Properties In fixing up a 1935 cottage in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to preserve it and flip it, designers Danielle Palm and Rocci Chandler needed to give it something it lacked: a functional master bathroom. To make it marketable, they looked to the home’s style and age for inspiration, then mixed in modern comforts. To make the most of the square footage and a large picture window, they combined a freestanding bathtub and the shower in one spacious wet room area. The wet area is fully enclosed in clear glass that lets the whole bathroom enjoy the light from the window. A hexagonal Firenze Carrara marble on the floor of the entire space adds a classic touch, while the sculptural, minimalist bathtub is more modern. “We carried the same flooring into the wet room for a seamless look,” Palm says. The wall tile combines 1930s and updated style: It’s a classic subway shape but its elongated dimensions are more contemporary.
Get smart with storage. If you have a small master bathroom, you may need to look around for storage opportunities. One solution is to install overhead cabinets or medicine cabinets. These can be concealed behind mirrored and handle-free doors, and they can be recessed into the wall so they lie flush with the wall tiles — this way you get storage without sacrificing any space at all. This is particularly easy to do if you have plaster walls. Tip: Run overhead cabinets from wall to wall so they look like part of the room, rather than add-ons. And make sure the mirrored doors extend far enough down so you can see yourself when applying makeup or doing other tasks.
8. Porcelain Slab Showers Tile is a popular material for showers. It’s durable and offers lots of options to bring in color and texture. But the idea of maintaining all those grout lines turns a lot of homeowners off. Designer Brooke Brown of L&B Limited Co. is getting a lot of requests for using porcelain slabs instead. The approach minimizes grout lines while still offering durability and visual interest.
The design team added several features that will allow the homeowners to age in place: ◦Curbless entrance ◦Stall dimensions that are large enough for a caregiver to fit in when help is needed ◦Slip-resistant tile ◦Plywood blocking in the walls to support future grab bar installation ◦Handheld shower head ◦Wall-mounted flip-down teak bench that can support up to 500 pounds Creating a curbless shower that would be accessible for a wheelchair or walker was tricky in a condo with concrete floors. To build up enough height for the drain to function properly, the designers increased the floor thickness in the bathroom and bedroom an imperceptible amount, but enough to allow for the slant they needed in the shower for drainage.
Key Measurements ◦There are 39½ inches of clearance between the shower and the vanity. ◦The toilet is 17 inches high. ◦There are 48 inches of clearance between the toilet and the vanity and about 35 inches between the toilet and the shower. ◦The shower stall is 44 inches wide. ◦The countertops are 33 inches high.
An accent tile in the shower brings in the blue color and lively graphic pattern the homeowners love. The big squares in the field tile and hexagonal tiles in the floor bring in more geometric elements. Shower fixtures: Purist in Vibrant Modern Brushed Gold finish, Kohler; large hexagonal floor tile: Daltile
Interesting idea of opening up the current office/future master bath to master bedroom.

“Thin slab porcelain does not require sealing and will retain its polished or honed finish under all types of conditions,” Recommended for easy cleaning because there are not grout lines.
Love this floating walnut vanity but may prefer sliding doors as opposed to drawers. Also want pocket door entering bathroom.

Like the floor tile and stand alone tub.
Like the light fixtures with hanging round mirrors. Also bold floor tile.
If we close off the closet in the office and dismiss the steam shower, we could go with a shower layout like this. Open, but not completely open.
