2. Sunny and Bright
Bathroom at a Glance
Who lives here: A family of five
Location: Modesto, California
Size: 120 square feet (11 square meters)
Designers: Wendy Glaister and Stephanie Poulsen of Wendy Glaister Interiors
Before: Even with a skylight, this Modesto, California, en suite primary bathroom felt dark and depressing. The giant tub with a shower wand was impractical. A tight double vanity had two vessel sinks that hogged counter space. Interior designers Wendy Glaister and Stephanie Poulsen set out to create a more playful and happy bathroom using a color palette of sunny yellow, white and gray.

1. Polished and Practical
Designers: Naomi Dresser and Caitlin Carter of Fig St. Design
Location: Santa Cruz, California
Size: 55 square feet (5.1 square meters)
Homeowners’ request. “This space was designed to be a guest bathroom with serene beach vibes and maximize storage opportunities,” designer Naomi Dresser says. “This beach house is super tiny with very little closet space, so the bathroom needed to be able to accommodate space for extra linens, towels and cleaning supplies.”
Special features. “The color palette draws from the coast — muted ocean spray shower tile and warm wood tones with a splash of brass,” Dresser says. “To give the space an ultrasoft and custom vibe, we created custom countertop edges, fluted cabinet details and a full tile backsplash behind the vanity.”
Small-space strategies. The tiled backsplash extends from the vanity to the ceiling and into the shower, visually extending the space. Stacked rectangular tile in the shower emphasizes the height of the shower. Large-format floor tile runs into a curbless shower, lending a light and airy look and feel. “Custom cabinetry offered the opportunity to maximize storage and give added details like the fluting,” Dresser says. “We added a custom built-in full-height cabinet to the left of the vanity to capitalize on storage square footage.”
Dresser uses Houzz Pro software to manage projects, including for retainers, proposals, invoices and purchase orders. “Keeps us organized,” she says.

10. Winsome With Wallpaper
The slanted ceiling in this Columbus, Ohio-area bathroom is high — at its peak, perhaps twice the height of the floor to the top of these arched medicine cabinets. To give this wall visual interest all the way up, Dave Fox Design Build Remodelers covered it in a textured wallpaper. The paper’s rosy taupe color shares warm undertones with the brass fixtures and contrasts nicely with the blue-gray double vanity.

9. Tantalizing Tile
Each element of this Orange County, California, bathroom designed by Alicia Torosian offers a little something special. Torosian, who uses Houzz Pro software to manage her business, chose a subtle checkerboard pattern of tumbled marble tiles for the floor. The walls have zellige tiles, but instead of the common stacked-square pattern, Torosian set them in alternating rows of vertical and horizontal tiles. The custom vanity has a reeded detail just below the counter’s rounded ogee edge, and the sconces flanking the curvy mirror feature jewelry-like chains.

8. Twice as Nice
A pair of textured and tassled shower curtains frames the shower-tub combo in this Washington state bathroom by NW Roots Construction and Whitestone Design. It’s a simple, relatively inexpensive design trick that elevates the look and offers a bit more protection to the sage-green vanity. Other soft and slightly playful details include scalloped wall tile in the shower, butterfly knobs on the vanity and a scalloped mirror.

7. Soak It In
Cassaia Studio designed this bathroom in a North Dallas house remodeled by Spruill Homes. The wood double vanity has a lower bridge section that serves as a dressing and makeup area, with a drawer and a spot for a stool underneath. The tile floor has a herringbone pattern that leads the eye to a soaking tub, which sits beneath a large picture window with soothing leafy views. A Roman shade offers privacy, and watery aqua tiles both protect the wall and splash it with color.
6. Looking Up
Che Bella Interiors Design + Remodeling was tasked with retaining this St. Paul, Minnesota, bathroom’s vintage charm while giving it a fresh look and better function. Its approach included preserving special original features, including the striking arched detail above the tub alcove, and adding new elements with a similar spirit, such as an an alabaster ceiling light and a custom walnut vanity with antique glass knobs that nod to the room’s original green glass doorknob. Modern features include braided chevron recycled-glass floor tile, vertically stacked green wall tile and a medicine cabinet with built-in power outlets and lighting.

5. Green Space
Fittingly, this green-tiled bathroom is in a new house built with an emphasis on biophilic design and sustainability. Northern England interior designers at Making Spaces stacked the tiles vertically for a contemporary look and contrasted the cool green with soft brass-toned plumbing fixtures. A minimalist wall-hung sink, barely there glass shower panel and curbless shower entry contribute to the lean and clean design.
4. Lighting the Way
This Charlestown, Rhode Island, bathroom — in a modern-coastal home constructed by Sweenor Builders — has a moody look in this photo. But it benefits from strategically placed lighting, including three large sconces flanking the mirrors and what appears to be an LED strip beneath the long wood vanity, an especially helpful feature at night. A small ceiling light in the shower accentuates the vertical offset-pattern wall tiles, which have an earthy texture and greenish-gray color.

3. 3-for-1 Deal
In a remodeled Los Altos, California, home by KNR Design Studio and Changras & Frey Construction, this bathroom features wall-to-wall wood cabinetry packed with function. One side is a single vanity with ample drawer storage. The other is a lower-height dressing and makeup area with a stool. And in between is a capacious storage tower with smart access from the sink side. A mirror with sconces mounted right through it fills the wall space above the counters, which adds to the clean, cohesive look.

2. Organic Luxury
Hutch-like his-and-her vanities are mirror images in this luxurious Frisco, Texas, bathroom by Samantha Bailey of The Design Shop. Custom-made of white oak, they have allover reeded detailing and are topped by 4-inch marble countertops. A glass enclosure separates them and the sealed concrete floors from a wet room clad in marble and zellige tile and anchored by a large acrylic soaking tub.

After: Nelson got rid of the tub and deck, making the room feel more airy and open. She replaced the drop-in tub with a freestanding one that has breathing room between it and the new low-curb shower. Removing the tub surround also allowed Nelson to expand the shower stall, which now measures 78 by 48 inches.
The shower walls feature undulating 3-by-8-inch subway tiles in various shades of white. The main flooring is 24-by-48-inch porcelain tile with digitally printed marble-look veining. The shower flooring is the same tile but in a 2-inch hexagonal size. The shower has a built-in bench and a long ledge that runs across the back, offering a spot to store body products off the floor.
Shower tile: Blanco, Passion series, Emser Tile; shower quartz: Breeze Blanc, Quartzforms Spa; plumbing fixtures: Artifacts collection, Kohler

After: Moving the entryway over to the right allowed for a much more open — and safer — layout. The locations of all the big fixtures stayed about the same, but all-new fixtures in a soothing white-and-wood palette make a world of difference. These include a glass-enclosed shower and a freestanding tub that allows for a clear pathway.
The new double vanity, made of white oak, has simple Shaker-style doors; a reeded detail along the top sections adds unobtrusive interest. And a tower cabinet atop the vanity has adjustable shelves as well as two drawers and a hidden electrical outlet.

5. Light and Airy
Architect: John Hathaway of Vanguard Studio
Location: Round Mountain, Texas
Homeowners’ request. “The homeowners wanted a bathroom that offered privacy while embracing expansive views of the surrounding landscape,” architect John Hathaway says. “They envisioned a serene, open space that would seamlessly connect to the backyard, supporting their entertainment goals, without guests having a direct line of sight into the bathroom. The goal was to create a tranquil retreat that also felt part of the larger outdoor environment.”
Shower features. “The shower features custom-designed tiles in a neutral palette, with a combination of polished marble and large-format ceramic tiles,” Hathaway says. “A rain-style shower head and recessed lighting enhance the luxurious feel, while discreet storage keeps the space tidy and uncluttered.”
Other special features. “A large glass wall captures sweeping views of the garden and hills,” Hathaway says. “To maintain privacy, frosted privacy film covers the lower portion of the glass, allowing natural light and views without compromising seclusion. A freestanding tub is positioned in front of the shower glass, creating a seamless, integrated feel. The warm tongue-and-groove ceiling and blue-toned vanity wall tile evoke the calming flow of water, contributing to the tranquil atmosphere.”
Designer tip. “For spaces with expansive glass, consider using privacy film or tall planters to maintain a connection to nature while ensuring privacy,” Hathaway says. “It’s a simple and effective way to balance both. Finding the right balance between privacy and natural light was a challenge, but after testing various opacity levels of the privacy film and customizing it to the client’s preferred height, we achieved the ideal solution that allowed light to fill the space without sacrificing privacy.”

2. Adapting to Change
Bathroom at a Glance
Who lives here: A couple and their toddler daughter
Location: London, Ontario
Size: 73 square feet (6.8 square meters)
Design-build firm: Ben + Britt at Home
Before: With a toddler who has a potentially mobility-affecting condition, these Canadian homeowners brought on Brittany Zazula and Ben Davis to adapt the whole house, including this bath, for wheelchair use.
Davis and Zazula are a husband-and-wife design-build team who used Houzz Pro software for this project. While functionality came first in the redesign, they also wanted to give the family a soothing and bright space.

5. Walnut With a Natural Stain
Designers: Lindsay Brungardt and Leslie Hatfield of Schloegel Design Remodel
Location: Kansas City, Missouri
Size: 73½ square feet (6.8 square meters)
Homeowners’ request. “Our clients had just one full bathroom in their home, and their dream was to transform their bedroom into a true primary suite by adding a full bathroom,” designer Lindsay Brungardt says. “They envisioned a space that was not only functional but also elegant, featuring a roomy layout, a vanity with ample storage and a design that honored the charm and character of their 1920s home.”
Vanity features. “The vanity, crafted in a furniture-style design, features rich walnut with a natural stain,” Brungardt says. “Its inset cabinetry beautifully reflects the era of the 1920s home, adding a timeless charm. To create cohesion, the species and style were chosen to match the kitchen island, which we remodeled simultaneously. Though compact, the vanity provides excellent storage with two functional drawer stacks and a central cabinet, maximizing organization. The furniture-style construction elevates the design, creating an open and airy feel that enhances the sense of space in the bathroom.”
Other special features. “The shower is a true centerpiece, showcasing antique blue tile walls paired with classic hexagonal floor tiles and a built-in bench for comfort,” Brungardt says. “Gold plumbing fixtures add a striking contrast, creating a touch of luxury that complements the blue tiles beautifully. A thoughtful design detail is the placement of the shower handle near the glass door, allowing the client to turn the water on and let it warm up without stepping inside — a small touch that adds big convenience.”
Designer tip. “The half wall paired with a glass panel next to the vanity creates a clever balance of openness and privacy,” Brungardt says. “This design not only makes the bathroom feel more spacious but also adds privacy in the shower. It’s an excellent solution for smaller bathrooms, maximizing light and flow while still providing subtle division.”

1. Warm and Organic Look With Enlarged Shower
Bathroom at a Glance
Who lives here: A couple with a toddler
Location: Austin, Texas
Size: 150 square feet (14 square meters)
Designer: Cameron Getter Design
Before: This former primary bathroom in Austin, Texas, had an aging white double vanity and beige tile flooring that gave the space a bland look. Black details called attention to outdated lighting and other elements. A large built-in tub sat beneath a frosted glass window, and the super small shower stall, seen in the mirror’s reflection, felt disjointed in the space. The angled door on the left connected to the couple’s primary closet.
The homeowners, parents of a toddler, knew just where to turn. Designer Cameron Getter had already helped them choose furniture for their main living areas and update their guest bathroom, so they tapped her to help them transform their basic primary bathroom into an organic, spa-like space with warmth.
