9 New Bathrooms With Stylish Low-Curb Showers

No Comments



Designer: Dani Bradshaw and Lynn Siemer of Blythe Interiors
Location: Encinitas, California
Size: 110 square feet (10 square meters)

Homeowners’ request. “The homeowners were happy with the overall bathroom layout, but the finishes and details felt dated,” designer Lynn Siemer says. “They wanted something much more custom, modern and serene. Their goal was to create a true zen retreat, with natural materials, a calming neutral palette and statement details that would bring personality and interest.”

Low-curb shower details. “We decided on a low-curb shower to keep the existing footprint intact and streamline the remodel,” Siemer says. “Going curbless would have required re-engineering the floor slope, which wasn’t necessary for this project and would have added to the timeline. Since our clients — a young couple with kids — were focused on a quicker turnaround to move into their new home, the low curb offered the right balance of function and efficiency. In the shower, we layered textures with a pebble tile floor and sleek slat tile on the walls to create a modern, zen-like vibe.”

Other special features. “We leaned into natural, neutral tones to keep the bathroom feeling warm and inviting,” Siemer says. “The natural wood skinny Shaker cabinetry paired with fun hardware kept things fresh and stylish. The beautiful zellige tile backsplash added a beautiful texture and natural charm with its handcrafted look. All together, the mix feels relaxed and elevated with a modern organic vibe.”

Designer tip. “A great trick we used in this bathroom was opting for a floating vanity,” Siemer says. “Not only does it instantly add to the modern, streamlined feel of the space, but it also creates a lighter, more open look. To keep everything cohesive, we matched the vanity finish to the home’s original wood window trim. By tying those elements together, the new design feels intentional and seamless while still honoring the character of the home.”

6 New Small Bathrooms With a Luxurious Low-Curb Shower

No Comments



Designer: Taylor Harrison of Streamline Construction
Location: Yorba Linda, California
Size: 45 square feet (4.2 square meters)

Homeowners’ request. “We started from scratch with this space because the original layout had just one bathroom downstairs,” designer Taylor Harrison says. “Since the homeowners love to entertain, they wanted to add a second bathroom that could double as a stylish guest spot. Our goal was to bring the wow factor with a bold splash of color. As the main guest bathroom downstairs, it had to be playful, eye-catching and full of personality from the moment you walk in.”

Low-curb shower details. “We chose a low shower curb to keep the space open and seamless, letting the other design details shine,” Harrison says. “A quartz slab matching the countertop creates a stunning transition from the hardwood floors into the shower pan tile, tying everything together beautifully.”

Other special features. “We knew we wanted this bathroom to have a fun monochromatic look, so we kicked things off by choosing the vibrant green tile for the shower walls. Then we matched it perfectly with Sherwin-Williams’ Retreat for the paint on the applied molding.”

Designer tip. “Sometimes less is more — but not in this bathroom,” Harrison says. “We packed as much personality as possible into just 45 square feet. From bold green tones and applied molding to playful countertops, floral wallpaper and rich green tile, every inch of this space was designed to make a statement.”

“Uh-oh” moment. “Lining up applied molding in a small space can be tricky,” Harrison says. “You’re working around mirrors, lighting, outlets and switches, which makes the layout a bit of a puzzle. But with careful planning and the right spacing, it all comes together beautifully and is totally worth the effort.”

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.

4. Black-and-White Beauty

Designer: Kara Haren of Along Came Lennox
Location: Portland, Oregon
Size: 42 square feet (3.9 square meters); 5 feet by 8 feet, 4 inches

Homeowners’ request. “This bathroom is the main floor bathroom used by guests and occasionally by a muddy kid straight out of the backyard,” designer Kara Haren says. “The request was to make it fun — hence the playful patterned floor tile — and ultradurable, which is why we went with ceramic and porcelain tile and a quartz countertop.”

Shower details. “We decided to go with a low-curb shower here to avoid the accidental water-splashing issue that can occur with curbless showers,” Haren says. “We also wanted to create a slip-resistant shower pan, which is why we changed the floor tile within the shower to be a small mosaic tile. More grout lines, more texture.”

Other special features. “With a black-and-white tile palette, we wanted to warm up the space with a rift-cut white oak wood custom vanity,” Haren says. “We also dialed up the warmth with the Kohler Purist plumbing collection in brass. To add extra dimension to this bathroom, we went with two hanging light pendants flanking the mirror. We also added a floating walnut shelf with brass brackets above the toilet to hold both decorative and functional smaller items.”

Designer tip. “To make this space extra durable, we avoided white grout altogether,” Haren says. “We find white grout drives our clients crazy trying to keep it clean. The shower pan floor was done with the darkest charcoal grout, and both the patterned floor tile and classic white subway shower tile were done with a medium gray grout.”

“Uh-oh” moment. “The unexpected HVAC soffit location over the mirror had us thrown off,” Haren says. “But luckily we found an arch mirror we loved in the right height. And our lighting pendants were still height-adjustable — thank goodness for adjustable-cord pendants.”
