Classic Home ImprovementsThis Master Bathroom, Bedroom and Closet remodel was inspired with Asian fusion. Our client requested her space be a zen, peaceful retreat. This remodel Incorporated all the desired wished of our client down to the smallest detail. A nice soaking tub and walk shower was put into the bathroom along with an dark vanity and vessel sinks. The bedroom was painted with warm inviting paint and the closet had cabinets and shelving built in. This space is the epitome of zen.

UserA small 5'x8' guest bath that doubles as the powder room. The furniture style vanity has a storage drawer and open shelf below. The solid granite console sink is stunning all on its own (and it is very heavy, apologies to the crew). Featuring the Kohler Hydrorail, rain shower and hand shower in one. A clear shower curtain keep things simple and easy to clean versus a glass tub enclosure. A tub is preferred in some rental markets. Decorative grab bars are a perfect finish for this Maui ocean view rental. Dimmable overhead LED recessed lighting and designer wall sconces beautifully illuminate this small space.

luannparksMy customer needed help selecting a stunning wallpaper for her hall guest bathroom that services the guest bedroom downstairs. She fell in love with this Asian themed wallpaper by Thibaut. We coordinated the granite, the cabinet paint color, the mirror and fixtures with this wallpaper and made a stunning guest bathroom downstairs.

Neil Kelly CompanyWhen our client wanted the design of their master bath to honor their Japanese heritage and emulate a Japanese bathing experience, they turned to us. They had very specific needs and ideas they needed help with — including blending Japanese design elements with their traditional Northwest-style home. The shining jewel of the project? An Ofuro soaking tub where the homeowners could relax, contemplate and meditate.

Simply Baths & KitchensAfter 20 years in their home, this Redding, CT couple was anxious to exchange their tired, 80s-styled master bath for an elegant retreat boasting a myriad of modern conveniences. Because they were less than fond of the existing space-one that featured a white color palette complemented by a red tile border surrounding the tub and shower-the couple desired radical transformation. Inspired by a recent stay at a luxury hotel & armed with photos of the spa-like bathroom they enjoyed there, they called upon the design expertise & experience of Barry Miller of Simply Baths, Inc. Miller immediately set about imbuing the room with transitional styling, topping the floor, tub deck and shower with a mosaic Honey Onyx border. Honey Onyx vessel sinks and Ubatuba granite complete the embellished decor, while a skylight floods the space with natural light and a warm aesthetic. A large Whirlpool tub invites the couple to relax and unwind, and the inset LCD TV serves up a dose of entertainment. When time doesn't allow for an indulgent soak, a two-person shower with eight body jets is equally luxurious.
The bathroom also features ample storage, complete with three closets, three medicine cabinets, and various display niches. Now these homeowners are delighted when they set foot into their newly transformed five-star master bathroom retreat.

World-Inspired Bathroom with Granite Worktops Ideas and Designs
Whether you’re doing a bathroom renovation or just a refresh; making your world-inspired bathroom design brighter, cleaner and more attractive will make you feel happier to use it every day. If your bathroom is a small space in your home where you don’t spend much time, it’s time to think about alternatives. Browse the pictures to find inspiring bathroom ideas on Houzz, including stylish vanities, fancy toilets, taps, shower tiling, as well as storage ideas for small bathrooms. 
Shelves and shelving units, like ladder shelves, will give you extra space without taking up too much floor space. Also look for wire, wicker or fabric baskets, large and small, to store items under or next to the sink, or even on the wall. 
The sink, the mirror, shower and/or bath are the places where you might want the clearest and strongest light. You can use these if you want it to be bright and clear. Otherwise, you might want to look at some soft, ambient lighting in the form of chandeliers, short pendants or wall lamps. You could use accent lighting around your world-inspired bath in the form to create a tranquil, spa feel, as well. 
How do I find world-inspired bathroom ideas for my renovation?
If you’re starting your bathroom renovation from scratch, or ripping out and starting again, then once you’ve sorted the plan and the plumbing you’ll need to think about what kind of ideas you’d like. The easiest option is to get inspiration from bathroom professionals. However, if you’ve dreamt of a roll-top bath or a walk-in shower with heating at, then you might want to take longer looking for each item individually. Choosing all white elements will obviously tie everything together, but also think about the style you’re going for – ultra modern taps will clash with traditional Victorian-style wash basins. And it’s probably good to consider your flooring or surfaces, and walls to make sure everything will complement. Take a look through the different styles of bathroom designs on Houzz to get some inspiration. How do I select the right world-inspired bathroom decor & furniture?
Selecting world-inspired bathroom decor such as cabinets, mirrors, shelves or other furniture for bathrooms can be tricky. You want to consider the storage they offer while also making sure they make an attractive feature as you enter your bathroom. Don’t forget you need them to be durable and withstand the damp conditions, e.g. if you’re going for a painted cabinet make sure the paint is suitable for baths. For medicine cabinets you will find most have mirrored fronts, but you can find extra features such as clocks and shaving sockets built-in.What world-inspired bathroom storage ideas should I look at?
While bathroom storage ideas is not the first thing you think of when it comes to bathrooms, you’ll be surprised at how much difference it makes when your bathroom is organised – specially if you’re dealing with a small bathroom, this is essential. We all know how accessories like bottles, toiletries, lotions and potions can pile up next to the bath. And where to put the cotton buds, painkillers, plasters, other medicine, creams and sanitary products? That’s not even considering using your bathroom as a place to store your towels and bathrobes. The first thing to consider when reviewing bathroom ideas is if you can invest in built-in bathroom storage. Large vanity units will have drawers and compartments to store a great number of toiletries and bathroom necessities, and if your bathroom or cloakroom has room for a built-in cupboard you can start storing small accessories and larger items there. If you can’t do anything on this scale, you could investigate built-in storage around the bath or look at less permanent options. Shelves and shelving units, like ladder shelves, will give you extra space without taking up too much floor space. Also look for wire, wicker or fabric baskets, large and small, to store items under or next to the sink, or even on the wall. What's the best ideas for lighting?
Water and electricity don’t mix, so make sure your bathroom lights are safe, first and foremost. There are actually regulations around what type of light fittings you can use and where – IP67 rating lights for submerged areas e.g. inside baths and sinks (Zone 0); IP65 for any area above a shower or bath (Zone 1); and IP44 rating for anything 0.6m from a bath or basin (Zone 2). After you’ve made sure your light fittings are safe and to-code, you can consider the type and style you’d like as your working through your world-inspired bathroom ideas. The sink, the mirror, shower and/or bath are the places where you might want the clearest and strongest light. You can use these if you want it to be bright and clear. Otherwise, you might want to look at some soft, ambient lighting in the form of chandeliers, short pendants or wall lamps. You could use accent lighting around your world-inspired bath in the form to create a tranquil, spa feel, as well. Bathroom tiles – what should I go for?
It’s rare to find bathrooms without tiles. Although it can be done with panelling, materials like tadelakt, waterproof paint, wallpaper or well-treated wood; bathroom tiles are so copious and easy to apply that it’s hard to avoid going with tiles in the bathroom. The great thing is that both floor tiles and wall tiles come in a huge variety of sizes, styles, colours and patterns, so you can remodel your room completely with whatever tile choices fit with your world-inspired bathroom ideas. When it comes to flooring, tiles will be durable, easy to clean and deal well with water, but if you want something different you could go with modern concrete, traditional or country-style treated wooden floorboards, or a bit more quirky bamboo, cork or vinyl. What to do with small world-inspired bathrooms?
The best small bathroom ideas will maximise the space you have. From installing a bidet to simple decorative tips there are plenty of things you can do to make it look bigger. Recessed shelves can make a huge difference both visually and practically to world-inspired small bathrooms, so if you are able to have these installed when your walls are being renovated you could add some to your shower or sink area. You could choose pale colours and iridescent tiles that reflect the light, keep walls and ceilings the same colour and texture, and use complementary shades throughout the bathroom– fewer contrasts and transitions will help maintain the sense of space. Floating bathroom units also draw the eye to visible floor space underneath them, and clear glass shower screens will keep the room feeling open and airy. Finishing touches like artfully placed large mirrors will also make small bathrooms appear more expansive.1
