Bathroom
The shower features a low-iron frosted glass enclosure and 12-by-24-inch digitally printed porcelain tile with a translucent, onyx-like effect. The second vanity is now wheelchair-accessible, with clearance to pull up, and its walnut cabinetry with brass pulls echoes the main vanity. The mosaic floor combines marble and limestone, with a decorative border adding polish. Rated for slip resistance, the tile continues seamlessly into the curbless shower, which slopes toward a center drain to keep water contained.
A warm walnut vanity echoes rich wood tones found elsewhere in the home. It’s topped with a quartz countertop and backsplash that mimic Calacatta marble. Polished nickel faucets add classic elegance. Designer Victoria Lauer incorporated the home’s signature trimwork into the bathroom, extending her custom pattern across the vanity wall and seamlessly integrating mirrors cut to fit within the design, uniting function and style. This is bright, light and the tile work not to speak of the mirror work is wonderful!
Great backsplash treatment - “I needed to protect the wallpaper from splashing on the sides, but I don’t care for the look of a squared-off backsplash that wraps a corner. I’d rather have no backsplash on the sides than do that,” she says. She created a paper template in the shape she wanted, and the fabricators used it to cut the stone to her specifications.
White and off-white 3-by-12-inch fireclay tiles in a vertical pattern for the walls and ceiling. “We designed a low-curb shower because this shower is on a second level of a home and structurally we did not want to cut into the floor joists to make a curbless,” DiVittorio says. “Also, the shower door opens close to the bathroom entrance door. Having a low curb lowers the risk of any water getting out and in this case getting into the bedroom hallway. By using a consistent tile in the bathroom and seamlessly continuing it over the curb and into the shower, the low curb is very discreet.”
You can upgrade the visual aesthetic of a shower-tub combo by incorporating higher-end fixtures and materials, such as adding tile to the walls or a stylish material to the apron front. Here, marbled tile walls and a mirrored tub front enhance the look.
Good ideas
A long shower niche backed by the glass mosaic tile intersects the vertical “stream.”
The slate-like porcelain tile continues up the shower walls. But it’s a stunning glass mosaic tile that steals the show in here. “My clients wanted a tile that would look like a stream of water,” Clink says. They purchased this tile from Houzz. “We worked on the proportions a lot. We wanted it to stand out but not be distracting as a texture,” Clink says. The lines of the glass tile continue from the wall down onto the bathroom floor, breaking up the composition of the large-format tiles.

Use procelain tile. “Go for a [through-body] porcelain tile, which means your tiler will be able to polish the edges instead of using unsightly trims.”

The 5-inch white marble hexagonal floor tiles have taupe grout and a brushed finish that brings out their icy-white background and pearly gray accents. “It’s not directional and makes the floor feel more continuous,” Freund says of the tile. “It also has a calming look.” The elegant flooring also includes radiant heat. “We have a timer, so when we wake up in the morning, the floor is heated when we need to use the bathroom,” Andrei says.

Emser’s new Emora collection is inspired by the sky and blends well with a terrazzo countertop here. The backsplash is the 4-by-16-inch rectangular tile in the Alto color. The glazed ceramic tiles are also available in 3 by 6 inches size and in cloud-like colors called Cumulus, Nimbus and Stratus.

With limited countertop space, Levendusky knew more space around the vanity was a must. So she created a niche on the side wall. She repeated the fan-shaped marble mosaic that she used in the shower niche up the back of this niche. And instead of having to break up the wallpaper pattern with an electrical outlet, she tucked it into the left side of the niche.
The designer worked another matching tile into the shower niche, this time in a fan mosaic pattern. “Due to what was behind it, we couldn’t get rid of the way the tiled wall juts out on the left. I embraced it,” Levendusky says. “It allowed for a deeper shower niche, and extending the niche high emphasized the nice height of the ceilings.” The size and scale of the niche and wrapping tile around the entire jut-out makes it look like an intentional architectural choice. As the girl grows up, the number of products she’ll want to store here will increase. “I like the way the niche is deep and set back. You don’t see the products inside it when you enter the room,” the designer says.
This botanical wallpaper in navy blue and white with black accents was the starting point for the design. “We loved the navy and white and the beautiful print,” Levendusky says. Playing off the wallpaper, she chose a white shower curtain with navy blue tassels.

A shower niche that features the same tile as the floor creates a cohesive look.

The wainscoting in this bathroom is adorned with “jewelry” in the form of upholstery nailheads. The small mosaic tiles around the niche play off this detail across the room.
Teak tops the bench in this Indiana shower clad in Heath Ceramics tile, designed by Susan Yeley Homes. Wood is less slippery than stone, and it’s a warmer seating surface. That said, you can avoid a cold tushie on solid-surface and tile seats by installing under-seat heating.

A herringbone tile pattern adds texture and interest to the classic bathroom. The traditional basin complete with stepped moulding and crosshead taps accentuates the period feel.
window treatment is nice. The space is large enough to fit a bath and a walk-in shower enclosure, but the aim was to streamline the finish while retaining a slight period feel.
This is a fold down bench, it can be put up against the wall, out of the way.
The standard shower measures 3 feet by 5 feet. Many homeowners find this size sufficient for their needs. A 15-square-foot shower allows for wiggle room and can normally fit a bench plus several niches or shampoo corners.
A tall and slim shower niche with shelves and Schluter edging keeps products off the floor. The niche runs nearly to the floor, where its bottom shelf provides a spot to rest a foot when shaving one’s legs.
Love the bench
I liked the cabinet tower. Not so much the vanity itself. Pretty ordinary.

When using tile on the floor of a bathroom, go with a honed or matte finish. They provide good grip, unlike a polished surface, and can be applied to almost any clay, ceramic or porcelain tile. In this bathroom, bare terra-cotta tile on the shower and main floor offer good footing. The low-curb shower entry and numerous grout lines also help with safe movement. Even if you’re sure your tile choice is a good fit, always do a test on a sample. “I would test a surface by wetting it, pushing down with my hand and then trying to move my hand laterally,” Meadowlark’s Doug Selby says. “If it moves easily, consider another surface product.”
In this San Diego bathroom, interior designer Jensen Landers of Marrokal Design & Remodeling incorporated a nearly curbless wet zone with minimal obstructions that encourages free movement. “Curbless showers are one of the best features for not slipping, as it’s easier to walk normally into a shower instead of stepping over a curb,” Landers says.
I like the marble floor, and the wall tile goes with it better than shiny subway!
