Half Bathroom featuring the Cooper 18-inch Vanity in White

Vanity by Design

ABOUT THE PHOTO: A view of the half bathroom. This bathroom features our Cooper 18-inch vanity in white, which includes a drop-in sink made of porcelain and shelf storage in the vanity base. This bathroom includes a standing shower with a sliding door and wall mounted toilet. ABOUT THE ALBUM: We worked with our close friends to help revamp a property featuring 3 bathrooms. In this album, we show you the result of a master bathroom, guest bathroom, and a tiny bathroom to help give you inspiration for your next bathroom remodeling project. Our master bathroom features the Alexander 60-inch vanity in a natural finish. This modern vanity comes with two under mount sinks with a Carrara marble top sourced from Italy. The vanity is a furniture piece against a vibrant and eclectic jade-colored tiling with an open shower, porcelain toilet, and home decor accents. The guest bathroom features another modern piece, our Wilson 36-inch vanity in a natural finish. The Wilson matches the master in the wood-finishing. It is a single sink with a Carrara marble top sourced from Italy. This bathroom features a full bath tub and a half shower. Our final bathroom is placed in the kitchen. With that, we decided to go for a more monochromatic look. We went with our Cooper 18-inch vanity, a slim vanity for space saving that features a porcelain sink that's placed on top of the vanity. The vanity itself also doubles as a shelving unit to store amenities. This bathroom features a porcelain toilet and a half shower. All of our toilet and bath tub units are part of the Vanity by Design brand exclusive to Australia only. Let us know how you'd like our remodeling project!

Compact Master Bath in Grand Ledge

McDaniels Kitchen and Bath

Proving that even a compact master bathroom design can benefit from thinking outside the box, this Grand Ledge bathroom remodel converted an adjacent closet to create a larger bathroom. The addition of a sliding barn door fits the space perfectly and adds an element of rustic style to the design. Aristokraft rich dark maple cabinetry is beautifully contrasted by a white SSU quartz countertop and Jeffrey Alexander hardware. A framed mirror matches the wood finish of the cabinetry, and the faucet and accessories complement the hardware finish, pulling together the style of this space. The cabinetry incorporates a hanging cabinet over the toilet for extra storage. The shower has a luxurious contemporary glass shower door, and includes recessed storage niches. Olympia Tile flooring pairs with Virginia Tile shower tile including a glass mosaic tile border that matches the backsplash. This compact space is packed with style and storage!

Bathroom Design Ideas with an Alcove Shower

If you’re looking for bathroom ideas, look no further than Houzz. Our image gallery brings you a large range of photos with inspiration for your viewing pleasure, and not only that - you can also save your ideas in ideabooks and find the professional that has done the job. When planning your bathroom design or update, start by collecting images of designs you like and take it from there. Whether you are designing your bathroom from scratch, redesigning, updating or simply decorating, you’ll be sure to find ideas for every possible scenario. And once you're ready, you can find the architect and/or builder to get the job done. But let’s start with the bathroom design basics.

How to Plan Your Bathroom Design

A good bathroom design brings together beauty and functionality. It reflects your personality in its style, colours, fittings and fixtures, but serves your needs to a tee both when you’re getting ready for work in the morning and when you want to wind down in your bathtub after a long day.

1 Collect Bathroom Ideas to Decide on Your Layout

Firstly, consider your space. Is it rectangular or are you working with a long, narrow room? This will determine how many wet walls you can accommodate, and if a bathtub can fit. For example, in a narrow room a freestanding bathtub may not work, and a one-wall layout that lines up shower, toilet and vanity on the same wall will make sense in most cases. (It’s also the most budget-friendly option in terms of plumbing). Maybe separate rooms for toilet and shower make sense? Maybe you want to work with a window above a bathtub or in the shower. You may live in an old house where you can keep some of the original character of the home, or you may be working with a small apartment space. All these considerations are vital in deciding on which layout will work best for you. Have a look at some popular ideas to get started.

2 Consider How You Use Your Bathroom

Once you’ve gathered some inspiration, have a think about who is using the room, and how they will be using it. A single guy needs a lot less storage than a teenage girl, and a family bathroom may need to consider elderly family members. Making your bathroom wheelchair accessible could save you thousands down the line. You may also want to accommodate a washer and dryer in the bathroom, since it’s where clothes are taken off frequently. Also consider safety and cleaning. Ensure no-one will slip and hurt themselves, and consider that many little tiles will make for many little nooks for grime to accumulate, whereas big surfaces like a sink that is integrated with the vanity counter, or a big mirror will make wiping down the surface much easier than having sinks sitting on top or an intricately designed mirror.

3 Your Style Determines The Colours and Fixtures You Choose

When looking at bathroom photos on Houzz, you’ll probably lean towards a certain style pretty soon. Are you into rustic charm, modern beach house style or a mix of styles? This will determine if you opt for whites, greys and blues or if you go for dark cabinets, black floor tiles or bronze fixtures. Specifically, you want to consider:

Tiling

Are you going to tile floors and walls? There’s so many possibilities, from your choice of tile to how they are laid. If you’re budget conscious, you may want to consider a wallpaper or paint for certain areas. A simple grey tile can make room for other elements to shine, while mosaics or a subway tile can make a great feature wall.

Lighting

Lighting doesn’t only look pretty, but can impact your bathroom experience significantly. The mirror is a special area you want to light well, so that you don’t miss any hair when shaving or can apply that perfect line to your eye.

Furniture & Fixtures

Pay attention to how colours of cabinets and floor can impact a room. You may want to consider a wooden floor for something different and pair it with simple white vanity and cabinets, or you may want to go for the steampunk look with bronze tubes and black walls. Consider what type of shower, bathtub (if any), toilet, sink and vanity you want. Maybe you have space for a generous spa with walk-in shower, or maybe you want a freestanding bath to be the feature of the room.
