I prefer #1, then #3.

#3 but the renderings are quite bad, so hard to know what you will end up with.

I'm sorry but does hubby fit in that tub it looks very small to me . As for the accent do the shower and be done .

Yes he does fit in the tub. That is why we paid to remove the drop in tub and have a freestanding. The renderings are just bad 😭

@chispa do you mean quality is bad or do you mean its just unattractive ?

The quality is bad! We can't really tell what the colors/patterns are going to look like in real life and if that tile would look fine or too busy with the slabs. The details matter.

An example, I just ordered some wallpaper samples, same pattern in 4 colorways. The real samples don't look like the online manufacturer photos as the colors sometimes just don't translate. The "light beige" that looked perfect online, is a muddy taupe in person. The other colorway that still looked neutral, has a bright blue background!

Then when I use the "try it on my wall" AI button on the wallpaper website, it totally changes the color of the paper in my bathroom, but not if I add the wallpaper to another photo of a different room in my house. The AI just gets confused with the windowless powder room!

Do you have actual samples of the materials you can photograph?

Yes i know thank for clarifying!! My designer thinks any of these options will be fine. My gut is telling me theres a clear winner. After spending so much on slabs I want to be sure they go in the right place. I will attach my slab and two wall tile options. The floor is a calm limestone looking light greige. The hardware is champagne bronze.

I dont know if the veining should stay horizontal? does it look weird going vertical in the shower? did we choose the wrong slab for a bathroom? so many issues that its making us sick with worry..

Sell the slabs back to the fabricator. Skip trying to make them work when they do not.

@Phyllis so you do not like these particular slabs for a bathroom? or slabs in general? My fabricator did not sell us the slabs but I will ask if they will buy them

If you like the slabs and want to use them, I would position them where they can be the "star" in the room. From the drawings, I am unsure where the focus is -- maybe the window wall, behind the tub, but looks like there is not enough slab material to cover that whole wall. What are you using for a countertop on the vanity?

@coastal_vibe when I walk into my bathroom, my eye goes to the shower. I have enough marble to do one feature wall, niche and curbs in the shower and use the other slab on the countertop. If I use both slabs in the shower, I would need an alternative material for the countertop. If I do the wainscoting marble option, I also have enough for the countertop. But this option makes the whole room the same instead of having a designated focal point.

I like your idea of one feature wall, with enough material to use on the niche, curbs, and countertop. If the stone can go all the way to the ceiling on the feature wall, it will accentuate the height of the room. How large are the slabs?

OTOH, if you want the room to appear wider, and not taller, then the wainscoting works, and the length of the slab is less of an issue.

There is also the option of a full-height backsplash above the countertop, but you did not show that, so I am assuming it would not work.

@coastal_vibe the problem is that my ceilings are 12 feet high in a narrow room so it cannot go to the ceiling. im ready to just sell it and take a loss. Ive hired two different designers to help with this project and they havent suggested that but Im mot in love with any of these renderings 😫

#3 if you want the slabs to be star of the bathroom. Also think it visually balances size of room compared to height of ceiling.
