Any ideas for upgrade to a bathroom with a "toilet and shower" only?

hace 4 años

I am changing the door to a pocket door and removing all the tile in the room and plan on just tiling the shower stall and or possibly half of the bottom behind the toilet.


My sink is outside from the shower and toilet.


Ill post pictures....


Decor and floor is closed so I have to order online.


Thanks again.

    OkaY so after all the searching, I found the best deal on FaucetDirect. I was told the head tilts like the Brizo. Fingers crossed. The reviews on amazon had me weary because, There was a few people posting the same issue with the vero... I dont know of any other showerheads :-(

    Please tell me if the list of things i have would look good based on experience?

    Thank you in advance

    Gray tile for the toilet area, or should I use a different tile or the tile that is in the shower? Also, should I run this tile to the sink area or leave it in the toilet area?


    Tile for shower floor... I showed house today and I was able to feel this tile in person and it felt comfortable. I was afraid it would be lumpy etc, but it wasn't.

    So you'd basically have this


    and this faucet.


    You have two valves there. remember what I said about mine and being able to use both at once? You have two valves and two rough in parts. can they run simultaneously ?

    here's my one rough in valve


    for my one unit. the two arrows are for the shower head lever and the handheld lever. both work at once if I want it.


    It's also less clutter for the shower wall.

    as for your floor tile, do you think that gray striped design in the 12x24 is too busy looking w/the others? what if you did more of a solid, but in a 24x24 or 30x30 tiles? (less grout lines and less looking pattern that the 12x24 would give you)


    the black one is a 30x30 ARkim from Tilebar.

    this honed black tile is Basalt. I love it on a bathroom floors. comes in all shapes/sizes


    below is a 24x24 gray/white tile and a 24x24 white quartz tile


    If you want to stay w/the 12x24, what about something like this one


    This is a porcelain tile in a charcoal color. no variation. you can see how it looks next to the busier looking shower floor tile.


    And make sure you do a white quartz piece for your shower curb. you'll match your marble look tile w/the same white quartz. then take your floor tile on the outside and bring it up underneath to meet the curb top. like shown here^

    I like the dark tile that you selected. Yes, I agree the one i picked will be too busy.I like the matt solid one that you have. Is the penny to busy too? with the full black are dark gray floor?

    I found these at floor and decor, since I can pick up... will these give me the similar look?

    the shower handle has a diverter on top and the handle and temperature setting on the bottom. I am able to run it separate or run it together. But its two panels.

    There is another one that has it all in one panel which is less components like you said. When I called Delta, they told me that this one is the same as the other one, its just all in one panel and less separate components. The little diverter is on top, but all on the same panel.

    I like that first tile you just posted. I also like it laid in that pattern, rather than the offset. that's why I was pushing for the 24x24. (sometimes you can't lay the 12x24 in that stacked pattern because the middle can bow. you'd have to verify w/the manufacturer. )

    I like the penny tile w/your marble. it's nice together.



    if you look at Tilebar and their 24x24 or 30x30 tiles, you'll prob find one that's very similar. order some samples

    https://tilebar.com/fordham-nero-24-x-24-matte-porcelain-tile.html


    I like this one too. (it's mixed here w/the Lines brass inlay tile, otherwise it's just the plain matte black )

    https://tilebar.com/lines-black-24x24-matte-porcelain-tile.html


    they have this 12x24 matte tile but you can lay it out like this

    https://tilebar.com/ec1-industry-concrete-barbican-nero-12x24-matte-porcelain-tile.html


    What do you think of this look? Tilebar has these porcelain black marble tiles. they show the back wall of the shower done with it, and the other walls in a white, with a white penny round. (you could do the gray if you like) I like how they continued the penny round throughout the floor, and did the tile along the wall.



    This tile is really cool looking. looks real


    it comes in a 24x24 too.. This would be so cool in a shower


    they also have this porcelain marble look tile. the veining isn't quite so pronounced as the other



    https://tilebar.com/marble-tech-bianco-gioia-24x24-polished-porcelain-tile.html



    why don't you get some samples of these and look around over there?

    Just bumping up my entry way in regards to the me just leaving well alone and keeping it open the way it is, or putting some type of door there.


    also my width is for the vanity is 41 inche, wall to wall. I have a 36 inch there wit’s a space on each side. more space on the left.


    the tile guy ask if I wanna put tile on that wall behind the mirror.

    i think since it's so small, I'd do tile behind the mirror. you could do the penny round.

    do you like this large white tile instead of that marble look one?


    https://tilebar.com/lumina-onyx-absolute-24x24-polished-porcelain-tile.html


    You pennies look really good with it.

    so behind the wall it could look like any of these

    this is super cute. see if you can do a wall mount faucet. gives you more counter space




    don't do the 4" piece up the back. just do the tile. and get an under-mount sink



    you can choose to do the side walls to. go all the way up.






    this is a good idea too. only half way up. border it w/a piece of wood molding or marble liner. love the wall mounted faucet idea.


    i'd prob do a floating vanity and do the whole back wall. see the grid lines on this one? tell your tile guy you don't want this so make sure he "Staggers" the sheets.


    this is how it should look. No grid lines anywhere.


    Do the niche like this. use white quartz for the shelves.

    great! looks good together. why don't you just continue the penny rounds on the floor outside the shower?

    Or see if they have some floor tile in that dark gray color

  • Nancy in Mich

    Do you have the expert tile layer lined up to lay all that penny round? It takes someone with penny round experience. You do not want them learning on yours. I believe it is not so much a matter of staggering the tile sheets, but far more a case of being able to get the spacing exactly right. Too close or too far and the grout lines will be wrong and obvious. Getting the variegated colors in the tile sheets does help a bit, but ultimately, the spacing is the key. The grout lines tell the tale! Best of luck with your project.

    I saw these tiles while I was there. look below. I was wondering if I should use the same wall tile but in Matt for the floor near the toilet. its 18 square feet (toilet Area)


    i wasnt sure if the penny tile would be better.

    up to you. I think either will work. I like the middle tile, the darker gray.

    what you could do is lay that larger tile, and then do a border w/the pennys, or do like a little rug w/the pennys

    here's how it would look all over the floor





    or just imagine doing the large gray tile, and then to an inset design w/the pennys




    or you could just do a ribbon of penny rounds all around the perimeter of the room.


    pretend the white is your large gray tiles and the black you're pennies



    Grid marks^

    and no grid marks.


    make sure you tell your tile guy you won't pay if it looks like the 'grid mark' pic

    I like that. do the white tile on the curb, OR find a nice piece of white or gray quartz and put that on the curb. (you can get the 6" backsplash piece of quartz at any stone place or tile place. the cost is about $60. The tile guy will cut it to fit)

    If you use the tile for the curb, you'll have to get an edging piece (otherwise you'll see the raw side of the tile). Try a Schluter Jolly edge or see if your white tile comes in a bullnose. You'll need the bullnose tile (or a liner) for the vertical edging of your tile wall.

    Ideally you want it like this. Something w/a rounded edge, or a bullnose edge




    Here they used one solid piece for the top.

    see how yours is? you have no edging for this tile. and you really don't want grout lines on the curb


    metal edging. (you don't have to have it this thick)


    Just do the solid piece. like this. run you penny up underneath it. on the inside, run you marble tile up underneath it

    Do you prefer the wall tile flowing to the tile near toilet and run the penny tile under neath/side of curb or were you saying you like the penny tile On the floor near the tile?

  • PRO
    Beth H. :

    I think I'd keep the penny tile on the toilet side, running up on the curb.

    For inside the shower, do the marble tile up under the curb piece. (since on the inside the marble tile will match the wall tile) The INSIDE of the curb section would look like this w/your marble tile up under the curb top.


    on the outside of the shower, you won't really have the marble tile anywhere, so doing it under the curb top, against the pennys would look weird.

    does that make sense?

    ***toilet area***

    penny toilet area

    run penny on the outside of curb

    —-marble on top of curb step—-

    ***shower floor area***

    penny on the shower floor

    marble on inside of curb

    if i got it right, do I need the jolly for the edge if I have marble?

    I currently have a bifold door that I just put up. for my closet space.

    Just a reminder that a barn door will not keep noises out so I think it would be fine for the outermost opening, but you probably want a real or pocket door for the toilet area

    You don’t have room on either side of your entry area for a barn door (left side has dresser/Tv and right side is too narrow). I’d do a regular door or pocket door there too.

    I am putting up the pocket door and I saw a full slab and i a panel door that has frosted glass.


    Which one would look good in my space?

  • katinparadise
    hace 3 años

    I like a frosted glass door. They let light move through the space while still allowing privacy.


    What I mean about the tile is the pattern on the floor tile should be the same as the wall tile. So if you lay the floor tile on a 1/3 offset, you should lay the shower tile the same way. If you stack the floor tile, you should lay the wall tile the same way. The first image is 1/3 offset, the second is stacked.
