What is counter material? Are you wall mounting the faucets? What are the custom marble panels? I would pick one element behind the vanity, .........not both. I would add you have to badly want a tub, because unless it is built in as your drawing, that floor cleaning will be a "blast". What tub and if built in, what is cladding etscand deck? Or it is free stand? Two sinks in 60 inches is tight. Even in a kids bath.

@Diana Bier Interiors, LLC Great question! I had to go back and look. They are a Carrara marble wall panel. Okay, let me gather the materials pictures. :) Thank you so much! :)

@JAN MOYER The counter material is a cultured marble top. We were planning on doing faucets that are mounted on the counter. I'll gather pictures of all of the items we were planning to use, and post them. The tub is built in for sure! That was something the design guy pointed out. We tested out the 60 inch vanity and it was okay. Keeping the glass wall to the left seems to be a good way to make it feel more open. We just don't have room for a 72" vanity+ because of how small the space is. We actually are going from a 5'x8' space to 6'x14' which isn't huge, but it's a lot more than we had.

Thank you Jan and Diana! :) I'm new to Houzz and everyone has been so helpful and kind. :) We are new to this remodeling stuff.

Is this a custom vanity against a half wall with glass, or ready to go with a cultured marble ( ugh ) top? Aclean white Corian is better, a quartz is better. Cultured marble is the stuff of Holiday Inns.

Are the wall panels a porcelain "marble"? Meaning FAUX marble. Post the counter and the wall panels.

Honestly, I would consider a float in another tub in the house........skip details that buy you less, and get a solid surface top on a really decent vanity for two.

As I said........if you "float" daily, that is one thing, but if this tube is even slightly more occasional use? I'd reconsider.. The whole thing.: ) jmho.

Seems to me when you cram a lot in a small space it makes the space feel smaller. Were I it mine, I would lose the tub, lose 1 sink, simplify design to achieve airy quality feel. I guess I’m saying spend money on good quality not more features.

@Diana Bier Interiors, LLC @JAN MOYER @lizziesma

here is a picture of the items we were using design-wise.

I understand about cramming more things into a space, however, my husband and I both take baths frequently enough to warrant it, and the kid's bathtub will not be long enough for my husband to fit. We are adding windows to the bathroom and using as light of colors as possible. We can change the tub if we get to that point where it feels extremely cramped, however, this is a feature my husband has asked for and I want to honor his request while making this as nice as we can on budget. :)

Hopefully you can see a little bit of what we would like to use or maybe suggest as far as design is concerned.

I like your design aesthetic for the room, but I have a problem with using real marble on the shower/wet room walls with cultured (faux) marble on the counter tops. I personally would use the subway tile on all the walls, the porcelain wood-look tile on the floor, and as Jan suggested, a Corian or quartz top on the vanity. Keeping it simple is always a good choice.

The cultured marble will SCREAM plastic. Corian pretends to be nothing more than Corian. A PLAIN white quarttz wll not fail you, and a remnant easy to find.

First? Decide if you are farmhouse rustic, or spa glam. : )

Subway, shiplap, real wood shelf, orb fixtures , faux wood floor = farm and not really marble slab shower installation

White C marble........penny tiles, white subway .......chrome.....sparkle......+ GLAM/SPA

CEMENT tiles? ( you'd have to eliminate something ) Best place is bath FLOOR......or a shower wall. In no scenario would I put C marble, faux or real with it.

In short ? All design is editing.

@JAN MOYER @Diana Bier Interiors, LLC

All design is editing .... and choices... but the problem is, I am pregnant and making choices is not a strong suit at the moment! LOL

So, we are going to get AWAY from the marble panels because I agree that it may be too many different materials. SOOOOO... Question ... of the materials list I posted above, what would you do on the floor?

1) Accent tiles on the floor in the shower area only? With wood floor look tiles outside?

2) Plain white ceramic tiles mimicking the subway tiles on the floor with one wall using all accent tiles?

OVERALL: Would it be a bad look to utilize LARGER subway type tiles, such as the 8x24 or 12x24 rectangles? Or should it all be the same smaller ones? (Intending to use the small ones 3-4 rows up from the vanity like the inspiration photos)

Thank you so much! :)

Personally, I'd use the smaller subway tiles on all the walls--you could use 3 x 6, 4 x 8, 2 x 6,etc. Or go with a large format everywhere. Try to get rectified tile, there will be smaller grout lines.

For the flooring, find something that is rated for wet use in the shower and use the same tile both inside and outside of the shower. If you need to use a smaller one in the shower, then go with that. No accent tiles--it just adds more decisions to the mix, and that is something you don't seem to want at this point!

Oh, and make sure you use a VERY highly skilled tile setter. It's amazing how many Design Dilemmas are posted here on Houzz because the homeowner did not vet the tile setter properly.

First:

How far along are you in the build? I won;t ask how "preggo" you are. Is this a first, second third kid?

I'll come back to that. : )

As to this bath: What could look good? IF you will have a shower curb?

Do the cement look you love on the bath floor. There are many mimics in porcelain at 7>00 bucks a sq foot. Tile the shower walls in a large format subway, like 4 x 12 in a glossy white, grout in match white . Put a black, or nearly black plan mosaic on the wet room floor. Put a nice plain white quartz on the vanity and it can be wood stain, or white , Do a couple rows of same white subway as a splash if you like. Add lights, mirrors etc Maybe do the lnen in a wood stain, and repeat as a wood shelf.

OR..........

Keep the wood look floor

Tile the wet room walls in the cement look/porcelain

Do the floor in shower /mosaic/matte/solid black or close.

Keep the vanity/ and the top white. Add mirrors a wood shelf you like.......

Edit, edit , edit

LOSE the cabinet over the toilet. Leave room for some art.

In other words, keep it SIMPLE.

If this is first kid? Tub floating may become a thing of dreams. Just sayin'........... A BIG issue to fix later.

Frankly , I 'd love to see the WHOLE house plan.

agree with above,, cultured marble is god awful. you can order a vanity top with sink/faucet cut outs in the white quartz (or even real marble) option. real marble in a shower is NOT low maintenance. you'd be better off having 4x12 or 4x16 subway tiles and grout than marble. (with marble you cannot use any normal bathroom cleaners or else you'll etch the stone. and if you dye your hair? forget it) the vanity, I recommend you do something like this,,

,,use the countertop as a high backsplash, and wall mount your faucets. you get extra room on your sink and it's easy to clean

I did it to mine w/my countertop.

Brought it up about 9" and didn't need tile.

you can choose to do a wood shelf or glass shelf if you still want that

as for the shiplap look, do you like any of these designs? (they can all be done w/white vanities if you prefer, just look at the style and flooring and tile)

shiplap walls, gray vanity w/marble top and backsplash, cement or porcelain pattern floors

back to white subway. quartz top and looks like a porcelain marble tile flooring

60" vanity, marble top, marble hex flooring. (but you could get quartz and a porcelain floor) also notice the pony wall between the shower/vanity area

I love this next one for your space:

the larger size ship lap wall (pretend this is a double vanity) with a dark gray countertop, black accents/hardware, black ceiling. floor looks like a wood look porcelain tile

white subway on wall and a bold tile floor. could be porcelain or a cement tile

Marble top. wall mount faucet.

3x12 subway tile in a stacked layout

Beth did all that, while I brushed my teeth and changed to comfy clothes! Don't ask on this outfit. You wouldn't even let me help with a bath. but......she gave you the REST of some excellent options. Mine would include lose that darn tub : )

lol. houzz is glitchy again so I had to reload those pics about 4 times! off to make dinner.

Same issue this am...............: (

@JAN MOYER

Ha! So not building. Just closed on the house, and making final choices so we can get started with our GC on time. :) I'm 4 months pregnant with our 4th. I've been in the tub 2x this week. ;) I promise we are using the tub even with our busy lives (and we are in a TINY rental at the moment).

We aren't doing the storage over the toilet for sure. I think it's a bit tacky, for my tastes anyway! :)

When you say cement look, you mean the accent tile with the design? (Just verifying as I'm new to all the design lingo -- sorry!)

I'd love to show you the whole house, but I don't have the "floor plan" -- -just some pics of the inside and a kitchen design plan! :) We are knocking out a lot of walls to open it all up. The front living room has a half cathedral ceiling to which we are adding some beams for interest because the ceiling is uninteresting and in need of character. Everything is getting a facelift. Once the "major" projects are done (master bath, kitchen, and guest bath)... we will be adding in some built in shelves as well.

@Beth H. : whoa! Thank you for all the idea photos! I like the idea of the wall mounted faucets. I want to try to find some with with a single mount (if that even exists) for easy cleaning/wiping.

My other dilemma is that I know farmhouse is very trendy, but I don't want to "overdo" the farmhouse look because it IS a trend. I want it to be able to be "switched" down the road if needed.

Don't get me started on paint to choose for the bathroom.... Bahahahaha!

@Diana Bier Interiors, LLC rectified tiles --- is there an easy way to tell this? I looked online for some examples, and didn't see anything with that name. Even in the description. Perhaps it's an easy thing to see.

Thank you so much (to all of you!) for your time and help. I so appreciate it. (I can't wait to start it)

Rectified just means that the tiles are cut with 90 degree angles, so they can fit close together. Handmade tiles are not rectified and require larger grout lines.

Here's an article that explains it very well:

https://www.tileoutlets.com/blog/what-is-rectified-tile-why-does-it-matter/

rectified means they edges are mechanically finished to give a precise finished appearance. Most porcelain tile is rectified.

the wall mount is great and not that much more work to do. you will have to know the height of your vanity, the countertop and the distance from the finished wall to middle of your sink. it's not difficult. math isn't my thing buy I managed to figure out mine!

and farmhouse goes over the edge when you bring in barn lighting, farm-like shelving and items, etc. you can still do a nice tongue and groove wall detail without going overboard.

This is the kitchen layout.

Cabinets are a Maple Pecan color on the wall.

Island is white

All cabinets are Shaker door styles

Pull out drawers for cabinets below.

White subway tile

White quartz OR as light as possible granite

Potentially extending the right side of the island 3-5' more for workspace (we do a lot of cooking/baking/entertaining); dining is immediately to the right; play space/homeschool room to the left

Wall behind the island will be OUT and open to the living room which is a half cathedral.

Adding lighting choices too.

two kitchen island lights. potentially three depending on size.

kitchen faucet

Kitchen cabinet pulls

Hand scraped look

2 sconces over the kitchen window

Below is a current photo of the kitchen. We didn't take the photo. It's from the website on realtor.com. Next picture is the living room. On the kitchen picture, the wall with the stove is being blown out and the wall with the fridge will also be gone.

In the bottom picture, the half cathedral will get beams, as well as getting the wall knocked out to the right of the quilt. We anticipate EITHER one column OR bringing the ceiling as high as possible with beam. You can kind of see the dining room and an entrance to the kitchen. That is the wall the fridge is on which will be gone as well.

Inspiration photos

Would love to see the final results of your bathroom.
