New master bath design

10 years ago

Hi. We are currently in the process of picking out finished for our new home.

The first photo is what the bathroom
Layout will be like.

Decisions made:
White shaker cabinets
Cemento gray quartzite countertops
Anew gray paint

Decisions left:
I am leaning towards the floor tile Dal Tile DA08 Chenille with Silver Screen which is shown in photo #2. I love the mosaic in photo #3 and am thinking of using it on the shower floor. Would you use the same tile on the shower walls as I am using on the floor?

When using so much tile is it best to stick to using 3 scales in the room? Do I need to add one more from what I listed above?

Thank you!

do you plan to use the same floor design in the bathroom and shower that is pictured in the first image?

what do you mean by 3 scales?

how large is your shower? how large (Sq ft) is the actual bathroom?

I think that the size of your bathroom and shower has to be taken into consideration. when selecting/designing surface treatments.

your space will seem larger if you limit the surface treatments.

if you want to continue the mosaic up the the wall, there is nothing wrong with that. it really is about your personal preference.

Beautiful bathroom layout. Elegant.

The two tile samples shown look the same to me... so I am not sure if I'm looking at the right thing. But I think I am seeing the mosaic tile - and it is lovely. If the tile 'can' be used on the shower walls - then I think it's a matter of preference as to what you would like to have in your shower. I think with an intricate mosaic pattern - as with many good things in life - a little can go a long way. I think that the intricacy and beauty of a piece of art (in this case tile) may stand out more - and be even more stunning (as well as enjoyable) if it is not overdone. Plus - having an intricate mosaic pattern totally surrounding you is a different thing than being able to look down and enjoy the beauty of it on the floor beneath your feet. I might opt to use a line of it around the shower - or half way up the shower (something to that effect) - in combination with a solid colored tile. But there is certainly no 'right or wrong' with this - and it really comes down to what you would prefer... what feels right to you; it is such a personal choice.

Again... gorgeous space.

I looked at the layout again - and I really like the solid colored, neutral wall tile that is displayed in this shower pic; I think it really lends to the spaciousness. I am minimalistic in my sensibilities, overall - and I would say that I, personally, would just use the mosaic on the floor. I think it's a beautiful choice for that. I would keep the rest of the tile solid - similar to what is shown. But - again - any combination (as I mentioned above) could work - and it's a personal preference.

Congratulations on your new home - and all the best!

First, you NEED a mosaic ( on mesh) on the shower floor allowing the shower to be pitched for drainage, so that issue is solved. I would repeat the large floor tile on the shower walls. I don't think you need three tiles at all. If you'd like a mosaic, shower floor accent within the shower, on the walls or in a niche.......have at it : ) Lovely selection btw.

The pictured curbless shower will not technically work. You need a trench drain across the rear wall, pitched from the entry wall. Then, if it's at least 4' deep, and pitched at the max allowable 1/2" per foot, you will have satisfied the required 2" difference between shower entry and drain. As pictured, it's a flood hazard to the rest of your home.

The bonus with a trench drain is that you can use larger scale tiles as long as they have the proper COF to give your feet grip.
