Bathrooms
Integrated sink and countertop. Many off-the-shelf vanity cabinets offer an all-in-one countertop with a sink. With this style, the sink is molded as part of the countertop. It can be made from various materials, such as porcelain or acrylic. Pros: An integrated sink is easy to clean. There are no ridges or seams, so it’s streamlined and a great choice for busy family bathrooms. These sinks are generally available in set standard sizes. Some suppliers may offer the option to have one custom made to the size that suits your space best. Con: Integrated tops are usually designed so the countertop gradually slopes down and inward to create a sink in the middle. This can lead to having less flat counter space than with other models. Good for: Those who want to buy off the shelf for speed and cost rather than opt for a custom vanity.
Waterfall edges are not relegated to the kitchen. They work equally well in the bathroom. When the counter and floor are of the same or similar material, the eye sees a continuous line. That smooth transition in materials can contribute to a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere for a bathroom, as shown in this photo.
The recessed LED cove light in the tub and shower enclosure adds a rich element by washing the wall with light. In addition to ample recessed lighting, this modern bath features LED mirrors, which will light your face evenly. While the room is lacking in natural ambient light, the smart use of overhead, pendant, LED mirror and cove lighting together creates a soft lighting scene for a spa-like feel.
A light and bright master bath energizes the spirit. In this bathroom, an abundance of natural light flooding in from the large window behind the bathtub and the clerestory window in the shower creates a warm, even light during the day. And with or without the sunshine, the recessed lighting, LED mirrors and a cool hanging fixture over the tub allow you to adjust your lighting to achieve an even, warm feel at night.
This modern and Zen-like bathroom is flooded with natural ambient light from the floor-to-ceiling window framed into the shower. The surface-mounted can light above the shower provides general overhead light after the sun goes down, and the simple pendant over the soaking tub is super chic, giving the room a soft, even light that can shine in every direction.
These are the main light sources to consider and the purposes they serve: Ambient, or natural daylight, means that there is light present in the room before adding artificial light. Overhead lighting includes recessed or can lighting (pot lights), surface or flush-mounted fixtures, track lighting and recessed cove lighting. Overhead lighting is great for general room lighting, but you will want to pair it with other light sources. Pendant, or hanging lights, are great for adding warm light closer to eye level. This will help cast a soft and even glow of light on the room. Wall sconces can be mounted to the drywall, wall tile or mirror and are great for casting light toward you at face level. They can create an even light without the shadows that occur when you have only overhead lighting. LED mirrors can be mounted directly to the drywall or tile, and like wall sconces, they will cast an even light at your face. Undercabinet and toe-kick lighting are typically created using LED tape light to illuminate a countertop below or under the toe kicks highlighting the space under the cabinet. This can make the cabinet appear to float. Art or accent lighting are ideal to highlight art or ac...
If your bathroom has architectural elements similar to the ones shown in this photo, of course it will feel like a restful spa. But even in spaces without floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook a garden, you can use lighting to effectively create a Zen feeling.
With the frosted bottom half of this floor-to-ceiling window along the back shower wall, you can have both privacy and serene treetop views.
A large walk-in shower filled with mosaic tile and palm trees creates a lush oasis in this bathroom.
Attic shower - well designed
With the floor-to-ceiling window featuring a lush green view, keeping the rest of this bathroom neutral was a smart choice.
This shower has a wood slat floor, smooth-troweled plaster walls and an enclosure made of 3form recycled resin panels with embedded reeds.
Almost like an ombré pattern, the tiles on this shower surround gradually transition from white to a teal color that complements the rest of the bathroom’s walls.
This shower stall with a full-length frosted glass wall provides privacy yet allows the homeowners to feel connected to the outdoors.
Grid shower door made with black anodized aluminum & shower floor covered in small Carrara marble tile.
Tiling all the way up to the pitched ceiling was a smart choice here, as it draws the eye all the way up to the circular window and beautiful beams.
At first glance, you might think this shower is outside, but if you look closer you will see a custom glass ceiling.
Ooooooh !... Bath Bliss .......
Love the contrast of rough walls, enamelled tub and pretty fabric
Pebbles work well on the entire bathroom floor. Here, their application brings a spa-like feel to a contemporary bathroom.
Pebbles are versatile enough to work with various bathroom styles. This space features planked walls that add a farmhouse touch to the otherwise more contemporary finishes. Sleek fixtures such as the toilet, cabinet hardware and faucet enhance the room’s transitional style
This bathroom features a bed of loose river rock, intended to bring a dry riverbed to mind. To keep this cool effect practical, the designer recessed the floor, waterproofed and tiled the bottom and installed a shower drain, then put in the tub and placed the river rocks around it. When the rocks get dusty, the homeowners can simply hose them off and let the water run out the drain.
Love this concrete bathroom and its brass hardware, it wouldn't take much to soften it a bit by introducing some organic materials - linen basked, wood bowls, etc.
Divided-lite shower enclosures are a fast-growing industrial bathroom trend around the world. Industrial. The divided-lite shower enclosure, gridded cage-like vanity base, mirror frame and subway tile recall 100-year-old factory architecture. Polished. The patterned tile floor, gleaming white porcelain tile and chrome faucets add sparkle. Polished industrial. The vanity base and mirror have a factory look but are finished in glossy black.
This house took its cues from the industrial history of its site. But it’s also light-filled, bright and immaculate. Industrial. A true divided-lite shower enclosure, pipe-like accents (towel bars, light armature), hanging bulbs, wrapped wires and gray rectilinear tile all support the industrial theme of the house. Polished. The cheerful splash of bright yellow paint, Carrara marble floor tile in the shower and white bring in elegance and playfulness. Polished industrial. The knotty wide-planked floor has a rugged look but is smoothly sanded and finished.
Hang a mirror in front of your window? It’s not as crazy as it sounds — just look at this chic bathroom. Window film takes care of any privacy issues, and the round mirror (along with the painting in the corner) brings an element of surprise to this otherwise calm space. Going for something unconventional can sometimes be a result of having limited options — like having to put the sink under the window because of a lack of space or an inability to move the plumbing.
Seriously nice bathroom this ...
Love those tiles on floor and in shower niche !
Neat.
Love that accent wall !
The tub sits on a platform that is a continuation of the shower’s curb. This gave it a strong presence in the room. Thanks to carefully mitered waterfall edges on the platform, the tub looks as if it is sitting on a solid block of stone.
