The flooring consists of 12-by-24-inch porcelain tiles. The field tile around the tub and shower stall is a 4-by-16-inch matte white tile that provides a subtle background for the blue accent tile. Tip: Don’t skimp on plumbing fixtures, no matter what. Nice quality fixtures — those are your workhorses in the bathroom. Less expensive versions of fixtures' interior components are often plastic and don’t hold up for very long.
Size : 8.4sqm Tile: Carrara marble tiles cover the floors and walls, creating an elegant, spa-like feel. A mix of patterns — arabesque on one wall, brick on another and large format on the floor — gives dynamic character to the space. Vanity: A large furniture-style vanity in a rustic wood offers a nice counterpoint in tone and texture to the expanses of white-and-gray marble. Shower and tub: A curbless shower, separated from the rest of the room by just a single piece of glass, gives the impression of more space — visually and physically — and makes way for a freestanding tub.
Vanity and countertop: A custom floating double vanity with a concrete countertop in a custom color drops down at one end to form a floating concrete shelf and storage unit that also contains a wall-hung toilet. Style: contemporary style work in midsize bathrooms because the clean lines and floating elements give the appearance of more space. Plus, many of the items become statement pieces themselves, such as the tub and the vanity in this space. Toilet: Geberit
If you want a bathroom with a stand-alone bathtub, separate shower, double vanity and toilet or water closet, you’re looking at 9,3sqm. That figure is based on the standard dimensions of each of those elements, plus the space you’ll need for meeting code requirements and moving through the room. You can get the features you want while being able to include things like marble tile, a higher-end countertop material and radiant floor heating. Once you go bigger than that, the sqmt cost adds up. THIS BATHROOM's SPECS - Size: 11.8 square meters Brief: to fit in a master bathroom that didn’t need to be massive, but needed to include a walk-in shower, separate tub, double vanity and toilet. Shower and tub: On the right, a 6-foot-long freestanding tub leads to a 4-by-4-foot walk-in shower, separated by a single piece of glass. Tile: Textured stone tile covers two walls all the way to the ceiling. The floor is 24-by-24-inch black stone tiles.
A farmhouse-style vanity in a light-colored wood brings contrast and charm to a classic black-and-white tiled space. Farmhouse style developed when homeowners ditched the outhouse and turned a spare room into a bathroom. Therefore, the style is best achieved by going with separate stand-alone pieces — such as a vanity and a free-standing tub — for a more collected look.
This home was built around the turn of the last century, and this colorfully tiled bathroom remains much as it was then. Instead of swapping out the bold patterns, the design team added decorative accessories to enhance them, including an antique mirror from the homeowner’s collection and a vintage chenille blanket the team turned into a shower curtain.
Neutral-colored bathrooms are calm and serene, but without a little texture or color, they can feel lifeless. Add too much contrast, and the space can overwhelm. This master bathroom balances both by keeping most of the room subdued while bringing the drama with a dark herringbone floor and a crystal chandelier.
Very tastefully decorated xx
Install a tub that matches the width of the room for a snug, streamlined feel. This lovely bathroom is also blessed with a large picture window that spans the rear wall and makes a bold statement. Consider installing a shower next to the bath, with a wooden slatted floor over the drainage, which is useful when showering or hopping out of the tub. This creates a wet-room-meets-bathroom effect, all delivered in a small, streamlined space.
This converted shipping container is short on space but packed with ingenious ideas. In the bathroom, the shower floor is made of a pebble-covered mesh that sinks down to reveal a stainless steel tub beneath, so there’s just one drainage system for both the shower and the bath. A mix of materials and furniture (pebbles, metro tiles, vintage finds) gives this tiny room lots of style.
Neat little corner
Pretty AND practical !
Small area well designed with a warm feel
Tuck it around a corner. Build in an extra sense of privacy by positioning your shower-tub combo in an alcove. This will also better mimic the feel of a separate shower. The wall that was built out to fit in the sink and the toilet’s concealed tank provides just enough room to tuck yourself away. And with the glass screen, the rest of the room is unlikely to get splashed as you shower.
Usually restricted to a supporting role, the shower curtain can be the stars of the show. These backed with a plastic curtain, and the fabric itself is lined with pink ticking, making them feel as luxurious and heavy as any statement window drapes. They give this space the less bathroomy feel its owner was after. Here, the fixed shower head and the handheld extension are on separate walls so that the latter, fussier part of the shower is tucked behind one of the curtain panels, leaving the prettier part on display.
This unusual bath is not only bucking the curved tradition, but it’s also incredibly high-sided, which would give your showering experience quite a different feel. To keep any shower curtain in tiptop condition, you need to stretch it out after each use so that it can dry, and remember to wash it frequently to prevent it from yellowing or developing mold.
Contemporary on a budget : a pedestal-free basin, back-to-wall toilet and ultracontemporary neutral tile create the feel of a classy, modern bathroom. With this backdrop, a standard, wall-mounted thermostatic valve, shower hose and slider bar look just as slick as their fixed-head and multifunctional relatives. With no need to consider a separate handheld head or to have extra pipes installed into your wall, you might save money too. Proof that it’s all about the styling!
Get the best of both worlds : in this neutral, contemporary bathroom, the ceiling-mounted shower head is complemented by a handheld attachment. If you or someone in your home is likely to want a shower that they can aim below the face, then consider mounting your handheld attachment higher up, as this can be operated independently of the overhead shower. To avoid cluttering the wall with two sets of controls, the shower ones were mounted on the adjacent wall instead. And to maximize the sense of space generally, large tiles and matching grout give the appearance of a seamless surface.
Here, a classic-style shower fixture, albeit one with a smaller shower head than in the previous bathrooms, works well in an almost sauna-like, Scandinavian-style space, with a traditional sink and a toilet with a wooden seat.
2. Or expose it - MORE MY STYLE ! Large fixed shower heads like this one, and the concealed-pipe version in the previous image, are classic. But be aware that because there’s no slider rail, you won’t be able to adjust the height of the shower head. Some designs come with a tilt option at the neck of the shower head, but that’s pretty much it. Consider whether this will be practical for your needs.
An ideal bathroom would have enough space to have a tub as well as a standalone shower. While having just one or the other is one route to take, lots will opt instead for a combination. A shower-tub combo doesn’t have to be a style compromise, though. Here are 15 beautiful ideas. 1. Hide the plumbing. Concealed pipes and wall-mounted controls make for a cleaner look than exposed plumbing. Neither is superior; it simply depends on the effect you want to create. (See the next photo for an example of how lovely exposed pipes can look.) As with any fixed shower head, be sure to triple-check the measurements and positions to get the shower in exactly the right spot so that the water won’t splash over the edges of the tub. This combination of shower and tub lends itself to a curtain rather than a glass screen. Check with everyone in the household that this will work for them, as some people do passionately prefer the simplicity of a screen. For larger members of the family, an all-around curtain could also feel claustrophobic. You’ll get more of a sense of space with glass. However, a curtain is beautiful if you want to conjure up a classic look. You’ll probably want to put the shower c...
Love the colour and the wooden stand for the tub
A cabinet is any box-shaped piece of furniture with doors or drawers — in this case just the one door. This little rough-and-ready cabinet-turned-vanity adds a rustic touch to a soft and sweet country-style bathroom.
Sewing tables originated in the late 1700s, and were originally used for needlework before the advent of the sewing machine. Now serving as a bathroom vanity, this sewing table holds an antique machine as a decorative touch. A Murano vessel sink and long-neck faucet add height to the vanity, while two drop-leaf sides add extra surface space as needed.
This simple desk provides all that is needed for a bathroom vanity with three side drawers and counter space. The white undermount basin prevents the single drawer from being used, but the granite top with ledge provides plenty of surface space and protects the wood.
To make the most out of every square inch, consider adding cabinets or a storage nook all the way to the ceiling.
Adding a window to the top of a shower wall is always a great way to bring in natural light. For more visual interest, consider a decorative window.
(although, these are great too...) Blackened steel shower doors add architectural heft and connect to the room’s windows, framed in the same material.
A shower wall made of glass block — a popular style in the 1980s — is still a sleek look. That's good to hear, because it's still one of my favourite options for a shower wall !! ; )
If you’re not a fan of water splashing from the sink onto the countertop or floor, you may want to consider a larger basin.
The designer of this modern home in Germany integrated lights into the vanity mirror. The streamlined look forgoes pendant lights from above or sconces to the side of the mirror. It also provides effective lighting at face level, which is ideal for plucking eyebrows, shaving and other grooming routines that benefit from good lighting.
Wanting the look of wood floors in the bathroom without the risk of water damage has led many to embrace faux wood floors such as this porcelain tile.
The Zen garden is easy to replicate indoors. You just need river rocks, a plant — or at least branches, as pictured here — and an open mind.
A vintage ladder makes a great towel rack in a bathroom or a kitchen. This ladder is shown leaning against a window – the homeowner can just open the window and let the towels air-dry in a gentle summer breeze.
This bathroom vanity is made from an old wooden filing cabinet with metal handles. A white marble top lightens the look to complement the rest of the bathroom.
If you MUST have a shower curtain, this one's lovely
