5. Detail-Oriented
This 150-square-foot Austin, Texas, bathroom seems fairly minimal from afar, but look closely and you’ll see that designer Laura Parsons of Parsons i.d. filled it with subtle variations in color, pattern and texture. White oak vanities have fluted fronts, whitewashed porcelain wall tiles resemble thin slatted wainscoting, and 12-by-24-inch matte gray porcelain floor tiles have stone-like veining. The shower floor and niche feature white and gray stone tiles in a checked pattern. And glass tiles with a soft matte finish add a decorative feature to the back shower wall.

4. White on White
Also in Texas, this narrow farmhouse-style guest bath by designer Aurora Fain of Studio Fain looks light and airy thanks to its bright white surfaces, which include a double vanity painted in Simply White by Benjamin Moore, white marble-look quartz countertops and glossy 4-by-12-inch white ceramic tiles. Black hardware and durable, budget-friendly wood-look luxury vinyl flooring add welcome contrast. Inside the glass-enclosed wet room, a fixed-pane window lets in natural light and frames a canopy of oak trees in a pasture.

3. Sprinkle of Spanish
Part of a whole-house remodel by M Prevost Design in Encinitas, California, this bathroom’s style could be called Spanish modern meets SoCal casual. A rustic, medium-toned wood double vanity matches the floating shelves in the niche, and the white countertop’s warm veining complements the neutral floor tiles, which have a cool square-within-a-square design. Above the freestanding tub, just visible on the left, is a large window with a woven Roman shade that adds more earthy texture to the room.

2. Center of Attention
TruDesign‘s Cynthia Stafford and Lindi Bolinger, who use Houzz Pro software, gave this primary bathroom in Superior, Colorado, a dramatic makeover that included a scene-stealing walk-in shower. Sitting in the middle of the room and with glass on three sides, it’s lined with geometric porcelain tile with a wood-grain look and has multi-height storage ledges, one of which offers the user a spot to prop up a foot for shaving.

1. On the Grid
Adina Hall Design increased both style and function in this 42½-square-foot basement bathroom in Chicago by replacing the dated tub with a walk-in shower and using various tiles, including herringbone for the shower floor and back wall and fluted tile for the vanity wall that continues into the shower. Budget-conscious choices included installing a low curb instead of going curbless and opting for a partial glass panel rather than a panel with a door system. Black details, including Hinkley’s Somerset vanity light and the shower panel’s grid design, add industrial flair.
