9. Curbless Appeal
A curbless shower entry gives a bathroom an open and airy feel. It also eliminates a potential tripping hazard and allows easy access for someone who uses a walker or wheelchair, making this a good feature for aging in place.
Kathleen Burke Design incorporated the detail in this San Francisco bathroom. Marble floor tile runs seamlessly through the room, creating a wide-open look that’s heightened by a frameless glass shower enclosure. Two floating black vanities and other black details add a touch of drama.
