We love the texture play in this principal bathroom, from the ribbed shower glass doors to the shiny Zelige wall tiles laid in two different patterns for interest. A pink bench in Breccia Pernice marble works double duty as seating and a surface for bath products and injects a cheery, rosy pop of color to the neutral palette.
Design firm Collective Studio had some fun in this girl’s bathroom by adding a thick band of glossy sage tile in the shower for instant style and definition.

Vertical terracotta tiles flow seamlessly into the shower area of this cool and minimalist principal bathroom. “The original floor of the house was in terracotta, so it was natural for us to work with this material in an elevated way,” says designer Michael Godmer. “I’m excited to see how these tiles naturally age throughout the years.”

Two different types of porcelain tile line this shower, and brass fixtures add a hit of glam.“This space is all about getting a luxury look on a budget,” says designer Mariam Aboutaam. “Marble can be expensive, so porcelain is a great alternative.”
A wall of terrazzo stone creates an eye-catching focal point in this multi-tone shower.

In this cool, California-inspired bathroom in Toronto, an arched shower ceiling is right on trend.

This is not your typical basement shower. Terrazzo-style wall tiles are a gorgeous feature, and a black-framed shower door adds architectural interest.
