I have been wanting to update and lighten up this master bath for years and to connect the vanity area with the actual bathroom, and I am looking for design advice and inspiration! I plan to move the vanity to the opposite wall after closing up that extra door from the hallway, and we will add a freestanding tub where the current vanity sits now, pull out the solid oak hardwood floors (this is a major gut punch because we installed those when we moved in eight years ago, and I have no idea what material to install instead, but know that it won't be as expensive as those hardwoods were!), and re-tile the entire shower (including floor and niche). We're going to add a third piece of glass to connect the shower and tub areas as well as to let more light into the space. I'm planning to keep the existing millwork and counters in place in the actual bathroom and just update all hardware/mirrors/etc. and move the vanity lights up to draw the eye up further / attempt to make my short ceilings appear taller. Any ideas on new vanity lights would be appreciated! My style is transitional and I'm open to mixing metals. We are also updating all trim and baseboards to shaker style.

What tile would you use in the shower that would complement my existing marble counters? They have some blue in them that I'm trying to play down a bit. I love marble but have heard to go for a marble-look porcelain in the shower instead to cut down on maintenance.

What flooring would you use? And I need a fun accent tile to install on the wall around the new tub too! I will include a photo of the tub I've chosen.

I'm open to any and all ideas to make this space lighter and more updated! Will repaint all walls as well- the trim is Shoji white.. should I go with that on the walls too? I think the walls are currently SW 50% Light French Gray which is pulling some blue that I am tired of seeing.

I think I should probably also do a Roman shade instead of the faux wood blinds? Do I remove the towel bar or just update it?! That window will get new/nicer trim as well.

Not looking for space planning advice as I already have it pretty well planned out. I'm looking for people's ideas on the hardware, fixtures, tile, etc. that they would use in this space if given the project. Thanks in advance!
