6. Double Take
A two-tier shower niche adds to the storage in this Manhattan Beach, California, bathroom by designer Alicia Torosian, who uses Houzz Pro software. An operable window boosts airflow and helps control moisture. Small details enliven the nearly all-white space: a narrow band at the base of the shower walls separates vertically and horizontally oriented tiles, glossy finishes reflect light, the shower floor adds subtle pattern and color variation and the main wall tile introduces another quiet motif. A glass shower door completes the bright, open feel.

3. Spirited Symmetry
Rowe Interior Design‘s Rachel Ogburn, who uses Houzz Pro software, brought a lively sense of balance to this Denver bathroom, mixing metals — Venetian bronze faucets with brass light fixtures — vanity hardware shapes and boldly patterned hand towels.

Removing the shower door, as Copper Sky Design + Remodel did in this Atlanta bathroom, adds convenience and cuts down on cleaning. A bench near the entry supports accessibility, and an operable window encourages airflow. Yet the midcentury modern details — vanity cabinet design, elongated green shower tile with a starburst motif and a rich wood ceiling that mirrors the vanity — draw the eye first, making the functional touches feel seamlessly integrated.
