The bright orange tile in this kids’ bathroom by architect Michael Howells makes the space a standout amid the calm neutral palettes found in the countdown.

This bathroom by Lynae Parrott and Leann Waisath of LMOH Home mixes traditional and modern styles for a timeless look. Marble herringbone floor tiles and beveled marble subway wall tiles bring in a classic material. Meanwhile, a clean-lined floating vanity, an extra-thick countertop and a contemporary light fixture add modern-day touches.

5. Bright and Easy
Fitting a comfortable shower stall and a freestanding tub into this bathroom was a tight squeeze. But designer Lea Biermann gave it an open, light and cohesive feel by using clear glass on the shower surround and wrapping the large-format marble shower tiles around the room.

4. Farmhouse Modern
Interior designer Sally Soricelli of Nestorations redid this compact bathroom in a pleasing modern farmhouse style. Shiplap walls, wood-look floor tile and sliding barn-door-like hardware on the shower enclosure contribute to the fresh look.

2. Pleasing Symmetry
In this elegant bathroom by Haven Design and Construction, a graceful arched opening frames the bathtub alcove, cuts down the scale of the high ceilings and reinforces symmetry. A capiz shell chandelier, woven window shade and white drapery with black-and-gold trim soften the space, while jet-black vanities with gold hardware and other black and gold details inject the space with drama.

I smiled at shower rods, too! Those glass shower doors are great if…you have full time help, and never need to get a walker or other aid thru them. When we redid our master bath recently, had to explain to every tradesman and worker that there would not be glass doors. I haven’t regretted my choice even once!
Terrific
All beautiful. I would like to enter mine into the contest. I created for my lovely wife.
