Bathroom
No matter which kind of flooring you decide to put in your bathroom, choose one that has high slip resistance. A slick tile can increase the likelihood of an injury from a fall. You can spot a floor with good slip resistance by looking for grooves or feeling for texture. Generally speaking, the more textured a floor is, the higher its slip resistance. Barbara Grushow Designs INC There are ways to measure a floor’s slip resistance. Tile, for example, is rated by measuring the coefficient of friction. A flooring material’s slip resistance can normally be found on the manufacturer’s website.
The vanity provides each son with a drawer, and there’s additional storage in the large medicine cabinet. The medicine cabinet also has a built-in Bluetooth speaker, which replaced a small speaker used in the old bathroom. It also has a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet inside, as well as LED lights integrated in the mirror. Using integrated lights saved wall space and maintained the uncluttered look of the room. “I was careful with the LED temperature with the cabinet and the ceiling light,” Griffin says. “2,700 degrees Kelvin provides nice soft light that is similar to incandescent bulbs.” The floating vanity is a ready-made model in a deep midnight blue by The Furniture Guild. Griffin customized it with a Thassos marble countertop, made from the cutout in the tub surround’s slab. “We used mitered edges to build it up so that it looks like it’s 2 inches thick,” she says.
“The most common shower door type I use is frameless glass. It can fit into most bathroom layouts and gives a great, clean look,” she says. Kuhn used a frameless shower door in this recent bathroom project in St. Louis. “People want a simplified, uncluttered look,” she says. The designer notes that showers without doors are becoming more popular, but she says the result isn’t always as good as the idea.
“It’s always handy to have a place to store shampoo, soaps and other things we use in the shower without having to keep things in a caddy or on the floor,” she says. Tyler used three niches in this Seattle shower. “I think this is a trend that will last because it’s all about convenience,” the designer says. “Once we adapt a convenience into our lives, it’s hard to go without it again.”
“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.”
Height, single lever, waterfall brushed nickel finish, ease of washing face without compromising back issues.
Cabinet is a freestanding furniture piece that we allowed the homeowner to purchase themselves to save a little bit on cost, and it came with prefabricated with a counter and undermount sinks. The faucets are Hansgrohe Talis S widespread in chrome. The shower control, also from Hansgrohe, is the Ecostat S Pressure Balance with a Croma SAM Set Plus shower head set.
All-around large wall & shower tile in natural color, brightened with white lines. Niche near shower head. Is that a sliding shower door?
Shower niche is solid back 1-piece and minimizes grout lines that catch gunk. Angle the niche to prevent standing water.
Love the warmth of the wood cabinet and the dark fixtures throughout.
Towel bar INSIDE the shower by niche.
Like the pivoting mirror above sink
The sink seems to be the "waterfall" edge I like. And, it looks like "cement" to me but I know it is not.
Is it possible to have faucet similar to this one that is wall-mounted?
Sit down make-up vanity with adjacent storage cabinet and drawers.
Drain in shower...can it be done in mine? Off-set mounted sink hardware a possibility?
Like the pull-out drawers and somewhat like the panels outlining the mirrors. Of course, I do like the black matte sconce to match a towel rack or two (Monopoly Water Works)
Mixed the dark finish on the sconces & towel rack with different hardware finish on the shower and sink.
Really like wood-like floor tile: Amaya Wood, Anatolia Tile + Stone. Sliding shower door, simple commode, painted ship lap walls
Glass like niche contrasts with tile, adding depth.
I like the shelf above the washbasin. Can be used for decorative and also practical storage of every day items.
Would a cabinet on the counter top be too "big" obtrusive in guest bathroom. Like floating cabinet.
Big tile
Pony wall has bench seating, how would a niche go into the pony wall? Don't care for the shower door opening.
Tile on wall (wood like) is, "I sourced Stonewood plank tiles for this bath from Maestro Mosaics."
I like the look of wood-like walls. "The Athens silver Cream, also known as White Oak or Silver Cloud. It is an Incredible product. It essentially a vein cut marble that gives an almost wood look appearance. If you ever visit the new Four Seasons in Orlando it covers it. Additionally the hotels love it because it is low maintenance it is a hard marble and matches easily from Threshold to Mosaic as you can see from our website. It is a very, very consistent Marble. However as it is new to the market, there is a lot of names for it and with different names comes different prices. Our recommendation as with all products. Order a sample. Order a sample online and compare. Before things ship ask for pictures. Cover yourself. It can also be called a White Oak Marble Limestone also a silver cloud and a variety of other names in the market place. The confusion of the name allows for some seriously unreasonable price fluctuations considering the price per block. It is very similar in appearance or a few other names by other companies, available for $7.45 a Square Foot in Honed and Polished. It is also very similar to 12x24" White Oak Marble Limestone which is just $7.45 a Square Foot a...
The countertop is Meridian Satin quartzite by Pental. Also, the cabinet is floating, i.e., does not go to the floor. Like the under counter lighting too.
Farmhouse lavatory, "marble" top to match shower and space to put things, full mirror and wood. Don't like wood protruding beneath sink. Remove that and show bare floor. Some cabinetry is good but this is overwhelming in my space.
Seat and "marble" look, plus shower tile, full-glass enclosure.
I think I like the height of the single-operation faucets and that they are black to match the drain.
Double niche for soap and tall products. I would use opaque glass to differentiate lining of niche from tile. Also like the hook but would locate it on a more "friendly" out of sight wall.
The hall bath features a similar aesthetic within a smaller footprint. A cool palette juxtaposes gray walls and white counters with embedded mirror chips for subtle sparkle. I like the small area of wall hung cabinet/lavatory but also like the size of the shower too. I would feature better lighting and offer a bigger mirror.
Natural limestone accent wall tile and satin nickel fixtures lend serenity and warmth to the master bath. The generous spa shower includes an integrated linear drain. Niches, where does one put towel hooks where towels don't get wet?
Modern clean lines, light above lavatory, don't like cabinet swing out doors, vanity next to sink??
Niche is embedded in wall not in-sight with room as user enters bathroom.
Pre-hung, floating cabinet, one-piece top, drawers with soft closures.
Porcelain tile, easy to clean, almost no grout line 1/16", presealed grout too. Get a textured floor. Manufacturers have an index-rated system of textures for this. Check on it.
Wall to ceiling enclosure, drain is sloped niche is different than tile, could use plain opaque glass in niche.
Grab bars and ONLY a hand held shower with a sufficiently long bar for adjustments (tall or short guests).
Light switches, etc. & AC outlets are high. Mirror takes up entire wall.
Slope of the drain (long drain under bench) and small tile. Also, I like to color of the tile and the white.
Under cabinet lighting.
Textural bamboo cabinets. Clean look but adds texture. Might go well with Monopoly Card too.
Article is very timely. In contemporary, Asian style lends itself to "everything in its place." I like that. No clutter. Read and re-read this article.
Shower drain on one side edge. Lighted shelves in shower. Floating cabinet, sink, drawers and open towel space. Like the unobstructed space to the left of the sink for guests' toiletries.
Read this for ideas and suggestions on cost-saving balanced options. I like the storage area next to the water closet.
Light and vent too in shower. Hand-held wand.
On pony wall, shelf storage tucked away, plus bench at far side (can double as foot rest)
Like that the sink is to one side. Leaves the left side open to toiletries and AC outlet. Like single lever faucet and floating cabinet.
Floating cabinet/sink. One-piece counter and basin, smooth lines. Don't necessarily like the back splash because it catches dust.
Subtle lighted shelf, sliding door, taupe masonry, one long shelf, black fixtures, hand held fixtures
Shelves in shower + shaving shelf too.
