10. Scandi Meets San Francisco
To get the fresh-and-a-little-bit-funky look of this San Francisco bathroom, designer Laura Hur of Lorla Studio took inspiration from colors and materials found in the surrounding city, as well as minimalist Scandinavian design.
The floor, shower curb, 18-inch baseboard, shower bench and floating shelves are all terrazzo; the stacked shower tiles are glass; and the fixtures are warm brass. Though petite, the 6-by-9-foot space feels larger and brighter thanks to the streamlined silhouettes and palette.

9. Stone Stunner
Designer Stacia Winkler of Vintage Elements and builder Shaun Winkler of Aspect Design Build created this Minnesota bathroom for a sanctuary-seeking couple with young kids. They installed a steam shower for one of the homeowners and a bathtub for the other.
Drawing inspiration from Houzz photos shared by the homeowners, the team used marble floor tile in cream throughout the space, Fond du Lac limestone over-grouted in white mortar on the main walls and porcelain tile on the curbless steam shower walls. The custom vanity is vertical-grain white oak with a 1-inch square overlay and topped with Taj Mahal quartzite.

8. Spa Sense
Smooth white rocks underneath a white-oak-veneer floating vanity and wall panels add a finishing touch that makes this 150-square-foot bathroom feel more like a spacious high-end spa.
Designed by Gabrielle James and Alison Gilbo of The Pavilion Co., the Seattle retreat also features a curbless shower with a concealed linear drain, concrete-look porcelain floor tile, flagstone-inspired porcelain wall tile and a custom blackened-steel-framed mirror.

7. Patina and Pink
A pink-painted vanity, a gracefully curved backsplash and antiqued-brass fixtures add vintage vibes to the otherwise sleek, contemporary lines in this Austin, Texas, bathroom by Moazami Homes.
Paired with the white walls, the large-format marble tile on the shower walls and main floor, which transitions to mosaic tile on the curbless shower’s floor, visually expands and brightens the relatively small space while adding subtle, swirly movement.

6. Framing the Shot
A makeup counter and maximum storage were must-haves for this small New York City bathroom, whose owner is a TV reporter who spends a lot of time in it prepping for appearances.
Designer Kylie K. Bass of KKB Interiors complemented the custom vanity’s countertop with a border of Arabescato Corchia marble around the shower entrance, which has a bold black-framed door and a low curb to keep water and a bath mat in their places. The main floor and shower walls are Bianco Dolomiti marble tiles, the unlacquered brass fixtures are from Waterworks and the walls are lime-washed, which adds a “timeless yet old-world aesthetic,” Bass says.

5. Antique Elegance
Designed by Rice and De Tienne Designs and Braun + Adams Interiors, this 5-by-10-foot San Francisco guest bathroom is used by the homeowners’ elderly in-laws when they visit, so it’s intended to be both luxurious and easy for them to use. The shower has a stone bench with a handheld shower and a steam function, and all of the shower walls and the pony wall at the toilet incorporate blocking for future grab bars.
The vanity is repurposed antique drawers with a Calacatta Caldia marble countertop, and the heated stone floor has a continuous mosaic inlay with a tile border. Inside the shower, light aqua wall tile (Claypaper in Sea Glossy by Waterworks) surrounds a leaded glass panel
— installed in front of a nonoperable exterior window — that provides both light and privacy for the lower-level space.

4. Honed In
In this Edina, Minnesota, primary bathroom, Jkath Design Build + Reinvent paired a spacious custom vanity with custom black metal mirrors, black vanity lights and gold-tone hardware. Its painted black finish (Off-Black by Farrow & Ball) picks up the little black octagon details in the marble floor tile.
Like the Dolomite wall tiles and the hexagonal tile on the curbless shower’s floor, the main floor tiles have a natural honed finish, a smart, nonslippery choice for wet environments.

3. Seeing Green
April Schneider of F+P Studio designed this Dallas guest en suite bath to suit all current visitors to the home as well as to serve future aging-in-place needs. A wheelchair-accessible curbless shower was one of her primary tactics. “It also makes the space look cleaner and feel larger, especially when you carry the same tile from the bathroom into the shower floor,” Schneider says.
She chose marble mosaic for the flooring and paired it with a rich green wall tile laid in a vertical running bond pattern.

2. Farmhouse Fancy
In a Boulder, Colorado, home remodeled by Factor Design Build, this primary bathroom features a soaking tub, a low-curb shower and a substantial — almost chunky — light-toned wood vanity and storage cabinet that suit the home’s Belgian farmhouse-style aesthetic.
The dark gray chevron-pattern floor tile and black cabinet pulls provide pleasing contrast to the wood tones, pale gray countertops and white zellige tile on the tub and shower walls.

1. Geometry Dash
A geometric-patterned porcelain shower tile adds modern pizzazz to this Omaha, Nebraska, bathroom.
Designed by Jana Valdez of Haven Design & Construction, the 60-square-foot bathroom has a custom vanity painted in Onyx by Benjamin Moore and topped with Caesarstone in London Grey. The wood-look tile flooring conceals a radiant heat system, which adds both literal and visual warmth to the black-and-white space.

I'm not embarrassed about my body, but I'm also someone who prefers some privacy. When I look at current bathroom designs, 99% of the time I think, "Ack! I would feel so exposed!" Everything is glass surrounds and there are usually large windows on display with no obvious curtains or screening element.
I totally agree with the overuse of glass surrounds on showers. Particularly in hard water areas the glass is exceedingly difficult to keep clean. Plus, curtains are easier to change and refresh with changing style trends. Please show more options than glass surrounds!!
Glass and tile for me only. Curtains are not appealing at all because they are drawn inward and touch your body due to air current, are slucky when they touch your skin and look ugly.
