Winner of 2018 NKBA Northern California Chapter Design Competition * Second place Large Bath

This Master Bathroom had a lot of angles and dated materials and lacked storage. The drawers under the vanity allow for maximum storage, the clean lines are a welcome change and the steam shower is large enough for two. Photos by Matt Kocourek

This hall 1/2 Bathroom was very outdated and needed an update. We started by tearing out a wall that separated the sink area from the toilet and shower area. We found by doing this would give the bathroom more breathing space. We installed patterned cement tile on the main floor and on the shower floor is a black hex mosaic tile, with white subway tiles wrapping the walls.

White three-wall alcove tub with white glass tile recessed niche. Double curved shower rod, ceramic tile flooring, and LED sconce complete the details of this playful hall bathroom.

Combining two smaller bedrooms, we carved out space for a new master suite in this whole-house renovation. The master bath has a long double vanity, a roomy shower, and plenty of storage. Tiles are glass mosaic, ceramic, and travertine; the counter is Caesarstone. Folding shower bench is by Moen. Photo: Jeffrey Totaro

Jane removed the existing tub to make way for a large walk-in shower, complete with an eye-catching contemporary shower panel, contrasting natural bamboo and sleek stainless steel. The rectangular porcelain tile with a bamboo effect was installed vertically to add visual height, while paired with a stone and glass mosaic tile in a wrapped stripe for interest. The glass block window streams natural light through the door-less shower entrance, and can be seen from the bedroom. To continue the functional clean lines, a large vanity with a travertine countertop and integrated double stone sinks was installed. Photography - Grey Crawford

This bathroom gets its soft lighting from what is called a "top down/bottom up" Roman shade by Horizons Window Fashions. Top down/bottom up shades give the option of privacy in a bathroom while still allowing a great view and natural light into the space. Photo by Variety Blinds and Shutters
