Mika And Rich Bath Pix

An example of a curbless shower.

Q

Black white wood combo, sliding door.

Q

Large neutral shower tiles, little ones on shower pan, frameless glass shower walls and door (no rubber in a frame to get gummy,

Q

Black herringbone floor, white with wood. Kinda modern and simple but still warm.

Q

Don’t do this little format tile, especially in a shower unless you really like to clean grout every time you take a shower. The larger the tile (we used 12x24 inch pieces for everything except for the shower floor which needs more grout to keep you from slipping)

Q

Light! Even if you don’t have a window over a tub, this skylight makes a big difference. I like the textured tile on one wall too.

Q

Smaller sink area with a stacked storage unit next to it. This is white oak, light and very popular supposed not to turn yellow the way raw maple does. Ask me about pros and cons of custom vs “semi custom” cabinetry. Done both, think it costs about the same in the end unless you can build your room to fit the semi custom cabinets.

Q

San Jose design build firm that might be a place to start for your bath…

Q

Dig the floor!

Q

Detail of a tan/ white bath. The thing about big tiles is that they are more modern and require much less grout. Grout is the first thing to get grungy in a damp bath and a bear to clean.

Q

Single sink in a wide storage chest that hangs off wall with a neutral textural tiled wall behind it. Very calming and simple. If the room is small I would opt for a mirror wall to open up the space more. Did that in my bath and it made a big difference.

Q

Big mirror flat on wall— with or without frame with 2 big modern medicine chests on either side. Beware of placing lights above mirror like this— a very unflattering and ineffective placement. Better to have a frameless mirror and mount lights on either side of a single sink. Note the built in hung sink rather than .

Q

This is an article on enlarging the bath by borrowing space from the bedroom. But it also is a way to think about issues that drive changes.

Q

Okay, had to include this just in case your heart swooned. You could do some of it and pull back on the window trim

Q

Warm tan tiles with pops of white a warm wood. Possibly a bit too overdone looking for your house.

Q

If you have enough storage elsewhere this hanging sink keeps a small space open. Do you want or need separate sinks or will one serve both?

Q

White warmed by wood and brass patterned floor

Q

One of my saves. We need to figure out your space

Q

I like a patterned floor. Don’t want to get a patterned cement tile though, it’s too porous. Need to use porcelain tile. Also love the bookshelf and extra storage on wall

Q

Colored tile, wood and white . One shower over the tub, don’t know about the glass door, note the large mirror on wall. I have the entire wall in the sink nook in my bath covered in mirror and it didn’t cost all that much ($350) and it just opens up the tiny room.

Q

I like the cabinetry and the larger floor tile in a warm neutral mixed with the white countertop. Looks a little more A and C traditional but also relates to the mid century mod of the house. White will always be good in a bath because you already will have the white toilet tub and sinks in white. I love our white countertops because they reflect the light and make it easier to see. My first choice material is quartz because it is so practical but still has a lively natural look.

Q

Here is a mostly white bath with a dark floor and bathtub wall. Seems a bit too dark with the wall, especially if your bath is smaller but note the way the tile is laid in a herringbone pattern. Another thing about tile floors for the bath: if you can afford to heat them, do it. We sneered at the idea and now wish we had done it.

Q

Another way to go with a painted sink and a patterned floor, but still light and open . Note rectangular sinks hung under the counters

Q

This is a big bath with the two sinks etc but it is white and wood using more transitional style materials and trims rather than the more modern. The mainly white color still is light and bright and pushes the space open.

Q

Interesting use of space with a tub and shower together and open at one end of room

Q

If you have the space, here is a large shower and a little smaller tub. I personally would choose a less contrasting tile for a less chopped up room.
