A burst of pattern makes guests feel right at home in this guest bathroom. Clean lines and clever design to maximise space were all important in devising the right solution for this room.

Complete bathroom remodel - The bathroom was completely gutted to studs. A curb-less stall shower was added with a glass panel instead of a shower door. This creates a barrier free space maintaining the light and airy feel of the complete interior remodel. The fireclay tile is recessed into the wall allowing for a clean finish without the need for bull nose tile. The light finishes are grounded with a wood vanity and then all tied together with oil rubbed bronze faucets.

This Master Bathroom remodel removed some framing and drywall above and at the sides of the shower opening to enlarge the shower entry and provide a breathtaking view to the exotic polished porcelain marble tile in a 24 x 48 size used inside. The sliced stone used in the curved floor design was hand placed by the tile installer to eliminate the tile outlines sometimes seen in lesser quality installations. The agate design glass tiles used as the backsplash and mirror surround delight the eye. The warm brown griege cabinetry have custom designed drawer interiors to work around the plumbing underneath. Floating vanities add visual space to the room. The dark brown in the herringbone shower floor is repeated in the master bedroom wood flooring coloring so that the entire master suite flows.

Our client wanted an updated transitional look with references to the sea. The design for this bathroom began with the selection of the Kohler Derring Wading Pool sink and Finial Faucet. The Robern medicine cabinet mirror was recessed into the wall and surrounded by glass "swishes" in the same blues as the sink. A modern touch we used is the waterfall edge on both the outside and inside edge of the vanity and the outside of the shower bench. The Quartz is by LG in a retired color, Rafine. Sand colored porcelain wood plank flooring was continued from the rest of the home and gives an organic driftwood like feel to the bath. Hudson Valley lighting sconces are mounted onto the glass backsplash for a modern touch.

The main bathroom was kept as open as possible with a walk in shower, opposite a free standing tub. A floating vanity was used to keep the space feeling larger, and was paired with wall mounted taps. A quirky pear shaped mirror and globe were the finishing touches for this fun kid-friendly bathroom.

The homeowner selected gorgeous aqua colored subway tiles to highlight the back wall of her curbless shower. The calm, neutral colors on the walls and floor assist in making the aqua tiles the star of the show!

This antique dresser was transformed into a bathroom vanity by mounting the mirror to the wall and surrounding it with beautiful backsplash tile, adding a slab countertop, and installing a sink into the countertop.
