Storage NichesThis photo is from one of my favorite projects I’ve designed. People tend to respond to its sleek storage niches. Not every project is lucky enough to have space in the wall cavities available to turn into a niche, but it is usually an option somewhere in the space if you’re willing to have the walls examined to check. This is usually easy during a major renovation when walls are being opened or built from scratch anyway.

Wood One of the best ways to add texture to a space is to introduce a healthy dose of wood through elements such as the vanity, shelving, furniture pieces (like an accent stool) or small accessories. Wood brings an inherent sense of natural elegance that comes through whether the wood is just lightly stained or hard-lacquered.

PaletteTo make a bathroom feel inviting but airy, and warm but also contemporary and clean, it’s important to achieve balance. Using a lot of white or crisp just-off-white will make the room feel larger and lend pleasing contrast to warm elements.

Even if you choose not to tile all of the wall surfaces, I recommend having at least one area tiled floor to ceiling in some form of tile, with other walls bare, as opposed to having all of the walls tiled up to the same minimal height. This creates a finished look, with the contrast between the tiled walls and bare walls appearing intentional.Browse bathroom tile options

16. White and Light With MarbleThis luxe combination of materials is continuing its popularity streak. Details like the millwork, crystal knobs and glass shelves enhance the look. But what I really want to know is, do those bathtub neck pillows work? Please let me know in the Comments section!Notable detail: The floor’s tile is laid out to look much like a runner rug.

The homeowners are closely connected to their extended family, so they wanted a house big enough where both their college-bound kids and visiting relatives could comfortably stay. The guest bathroom has a curbless shower. The floor tile is by Ann Sacks, accented with wall tile from Fireclay and a concrete countertop.

The steam shower’s glass enclosure goes all the way to the ceiling to create a real sauna environment. “There’s a control panel on the wall under the window, so you can sit on the bench and fill [the shower] with steam." She tiled and sloped the ceiling so that when the steam rises, it runs down instead of condensing into heavy droplets that fall on the bather. The floor tile is Savoy Herringbone from Ann Sacks. The wood bench instead of tile

Fold down bench for small shower. mR Steam suitable for steam shower This tile looks exactly like MS International Metro Charcoal 12 in. x 24 in. Glazed Porcelain Floor and Wall Tile. Sold at Home Depot. I would love to know what they used to edge the niche. I had hard time finding match so had to use metal edging.
