North Summit Ave Bathroom Remodel - Chatham, NJ

KraftMaster Renovations

These renovated bathrooms blend sleek, modern design with functional elegance. The space features clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic, highlighted by neutral tones of soft greys and whites. A large frameless glass shower with a rainfall showerhead takes center stage, complemented by smooth, matte black fixtures for a striking contrast. The floating vanity, with a white marble countertop, is paired with a large mirror that spans the wall, creating an open, airy feel. Textured tiles in a geometric pattern adorn the floor, adding subtle interest, while underfloor heating provides added comfort. The overall atmosphere is calm, bright, and sophisticated, with an emphasis on both style and practicality.

Sage Eichler Bathrooms

Cathie Hong Interiors

This Willow Glen Eichler had undergone an 80s renovation that sadly didn't take the midcentury modern architecture into consideration. We converted both bathrooms back to a midcentury modern style with an infusion of Japandi elements. We borrowed space from the master bedroom to make the master ensuite a luxurious curbless wet room with soaking tub and Japanese tiles.

Pacific Heights Wurster

Ann Lowengart Interiors

For this classic San Francisco William Wurster house, we complemented the iconic modernist architecture, urban landscape, and Bay views with contemporary silhouettes and a neutral color palette. We subtly incorporated the wife's love of all things equine and the husband's passion for sports into the interiors. The family enjoys entertaining, and the multi-level home features a gourmet kitchen, wine room, and ample areas for dining and relaxing. An elevator conveniently climbs to the top floor where a serene master suite awaits.

Master Bathroom is a Day at the Beach

Denver Design Group

To give the bathroom a more open feel we removed a pony wall and bathtub, added a large shower and carved out space for "his" and "hers" vanities. Glass shower doors make the room feel larger and allow light to floods the entire space. A skylight about the shower floods the area with natural light and creates a bright, airy vibe. photo by Myndi Pressly

Townhouse Reinvention

Filament Architecture Studio, PLLC

This petite guest bathroom leans into the small size of the room by going dark and dreamy. Imagine a forest at dusk. A window at the opposite side gives natural light and a view towards the sky as this room is on the 4th floor of this townhouse. Heath Ceramics wall tile was used.

Multi-Functional Bathroom - Wheaton, IL

TKS Design Group

This project was completed for clients who wanted a comfortable, accessible 1ST floor bathroom for their grown daughter to use during visits to their home as well as a nicely-appointed space for any guest. Their daughter has some accessibility challenges so the bathroom was also designed with that in mind. The original space worked fairly well in some ways, but we were able to tweak a few features to make the space even easier to maneuver through. We started by making the entry to the shower flush so that there is no curb to step over. In addition, although there was an existing oversized seat in the shower, it was way too deep and not comfortable to sit on and just wasted space. We made the shower a little smaller and then provided a fold down teak seat that is slip resistant, warm and comfortable to sit on and can flip down only when needed. Thus we were able to create some additional storage by way of open shelving to the left of the shower area. The open shelving matches the wood vanity and allows a spot for the homeowners to display heirlooms as well as practical storage for things like towels and other bath necessities. We carefully measured all the existing heights and locations of countertops, toilet seat, and grab bars to make sure that we did not undo the things that were already working well. We added some additional hidden grab bars or “grabcessories” at the toilet paper holder and shower shelf for an extra layer of assurance. Large format, slip-resistant floor tile was added eliminating as many grout lines as possible making the surface less prone to tripping. We used a wood look tile as an accent on the walls, and open storage in the vanity allowing for easy access for clean towels. Bronze fixtures and frameless glass shower doors add an elegant yet homey feel that was important for the homeowner. A pivot mirror allows adjustability for different users.

Small Bathroom Ideas & Designs

Whether you’re remodeling or just sprucing up your current space, when you’re the owner of a small bathroom, it’s often necessary to glean some inspiration. After all, quite a few hardworking fixtures have to fit together, not to mention your desire to add some style to the space. While you browse this small bathroom ideas photo gallery, take note of any storage tricks, decor ideas or layout designs you like — who knows, maybe you’ll learn to love your small, efficient space.

Small Bathroom Remodel Ideas

If you’re remodeling your bathroom, now’s your chance to consider what sort of layout makes the most sense. While some small bathrooms are long and thin, others are a tight square. You may want to fit a shower or sink in a corner to save space. When considering small bathroom shower ideas, think about whether you need a shower-bath combo, and what sort of door would work best. Sometimes, even an ensuite bathroom can be small, in which case you’ll need to consider what’s truly important to you. If you’re in need of small master bathroom ideas, don’t take for granted that you need a bathtub and two sinks. Instead, think about what you’ll really use on a daily basis and appreciate the most.

Small Bathroom Decorating Ideas

Decorating a small space can be tricky — you might be torn between going bold with colors and patterns or keeping it simple. Both routes can work, but keep in mind that everything in your bathroom will have a big impact on the overall look. When browsing small bathroom decorating ideas, take note of what is and is not present in other spaces. One bold accent piece or a small bathroom rug may be enough to set the style for the whole room. The materials you use on your counters, flooring and shower will also have an outsize influence on the style of the room, so choose accordingly.

One benefit of a smaller space is that your material costs will be lower, so you may be able to spring for luxury materials like quartz or marble, which would make even a small bathroom shower feel luxurious. Colors and finishes also go a long way in a small room. When tiling a small bathroom, consider going bold with subway or fish scale tile and bright pops of color. If you’re on the lookout for small bathroom flooring ideas, consider unique materials like concrete or playful tile patterns that will anchor the room.

Small Bathroom Storage Ideas

When it comes to storage and organization, small bathrooms can offer quite a challenge. With little room for an extra cabinet or standing shelves, one of the best small bathroom storage solutions is to think up. Toilets, vanities and shelves can all be wall-mounted to free up floor space. Don’t shy away from small bathroom shelf ideas that seem a little out of the box. To save space, you can purchase a small bathroom cabinet that stands above the toilet or have shelving built into the wall.
