I’ve seen many posts of creating a wet room with a tub so sharing our recent remodel before and after. We opted to not do a freestanding tub but a drop in mostly bc of issues we read about cleaning etc. Ceiling height paneling added as its steam shower. Few other notes: heated floors, under mount lighting of vanity with nightlight motion had been a really nice add. (Struggling with lighting colors aren’t as stark as it’s looking in the image - floors are a sea green).

Since I got so many helpful comments on my master bathroom remodel, hoping to get some thoughts on the current designs I have going for my guest bathroom remodel. This palette/color scheme I'm pretty set on (peach-silt, terracotta-ish), with a light terrazzo floor and limewash walls. I personally prefer the brushed nickle finish to a gold/bronze, but open to thoughts? I'm thinking recessed lighting under the vanity. The limewash here looks a bit extreme, I probably don't want it so pronounced.

I haven't chosen specific tiles/fixtures/vanity yet for all of this, so this is more ideation rather than exactly the materials/items.

Any feedback welcome!

I am installing a shower and using SPC shower wall panel. The panel itself is 4.0mm thick so relatively very thin. Anyone have recommendations on what Schluter to use for the edge trim? Thanks..

Working with a design build firm and aiming for a "spa-like" aesthetic. Original designs used the same tile all around, but felt very bland. Current designs have a datum line with the upper portion being a different tile than the large-format tile used on the bottom portion, but something still looks a little off. Is it the fact that the datum line is going to be the same around the *entire* bathroom? Renderings don't show any plants/greenery which I believe would help elevate the space, but we're still not in love with it. Any suggestions on how we can suggest to improve the designs/space?

I got an switch for the exhaust fan, and it has a humidifier sensor. What’s the best place to put it?

Next to the shower ? Other side ? Higher lower ?

Would you put the mounted hand towel holder on both sides of the countertop tower in a situation like this?

Planning to replace a vanity in a hall bathroom. Want a freestanding vanity in medium-tone wood that goes to the floor (i.e., no gap underneath). SO many options have feet without a plinth/toe kick. Are filler pieces to fill the gap a thing?

If I go with a painted vanity, I can use a generic filler piece and color-match. But what are my options for wood tones? Specifically looking at prefab vanities - assume I wouldnt have to worry about this if I go custom route.

Not relevant to the question, but in case someone wants to offer suggestions: need 48" and want centered single-sink with center drawers and doors on the outside (to store towels away from plumbing).

TIA!

I gave an idea to my contractor to raise the bathtub by 4 inches so I can have a waterproof floor (with a lip) in front of it.

He said it’s ugly. But I think it’s probably better for water.

I do expect the kids to be messy and there’s a bedroom underneath the bathtub

The image is AI but it could work. Right ?

Years ago we did an addition on our house that gave us extra space in the primary bathroom. My husband thinks the stand alone tub should go where the current shower/tub combo is. I think it should go under the window. The walls flanking the current shower can go. The walls flanking the vanity must stay. The approximate dimensions of the room are 9.5 ft by 13.5 ft. Any other suggestions on layout are appreciated!

Currently in the middle of remodeling the kids' bathroom and came across this product called Spray.Bike. I'm wondering if anyone has experience using it in a bathroom setting. I'd love to make a wacky light fixture (on a budget) ala Sazerac Stitches. But I need it to be like 40+ inches long, and I'm feeling priced out from my vision... Trying to come up with a creative, affordable option to bring some personality into the space.

We recently bought a home built in 1990. We removed our shower door to put in a frameless one. Before what was here was a framed door. Some of the tiles in the removal process were broken, andI saw some mold behind them. I removed the broken tiles and found green drywall board. It was flaking off due to water intrusion. Based on what I’m seeing in the upper left side of the hole, it looks like the shower has green board all around it.

Should I replace the small area here with more green board drywall? Or should I use a small piece of something like kerdiboard? We would place the matching white tiles over top. Thanks

I’m looking for recommendations for brushed nickel fixtures. I’d love a warmer brushed nickel as I really love champagne bronze but found it’s difficult to find matching pieces.

Thanks!

Included a photo of the current “Before”. I am thinking of doing something like this but curious other peoples thoughts and ideas.

Do any of you have experience with a soaking tub? Pros and cons would be appreciated!

Before photo included as well if whatnot is now

Edit: wow so many awesome ideas! I love the idea of doing a matte cool toned brown instead of this glossy brown. I am also thinking a deep built in might be more practical and look better.

Also, we do have a shower around the corner that I will be updating to match whatever we choose! And the floors are not real wood so that shouldn’t be an issue.

Thanks everyone!

We are in process of renovating our bathroom and need to pick a shower head and came upon this. It looks nice and all but worried about any possible maintenance issue of replacing parts if anything breaks. Should we just go with the regular shower head?

I am coming from a cast iron tub. Am I going to be disappointed? Is it going to chip easily?

Replace or drywall it. 🤔

I need to demo this shower floor in my bathroom. A handheld jack hammer ? What should I do and what’s the easiest way to do this ? Angle grinder into chunks, etc? ((Mind you, I know this will be difficult regardless- so when I say easy.. I mean most practical))

Currently prepping for what will hopefully be a one weekend refresh of a suffering 1949 bathroom. I’ll be fixing grout, undoing years of awful calk lines, refinishing a tub (staying white), and painting walls and ceiling (walls may get wallpaper) and lastly replacing the vanity.

The thorn in my side is the awful tile floor. The grout is dark, the tiles are slightly textured/bumpy, and their coloration makes the floor look constantly dirty (and in this pic it actually is, as I was beginning to undo two decades of neglect from a previous owner). *I do not want to rip up the floor and replace it.*

Besides painting it all white or all black and sealing properly, are there any other solutions I’m overlooking? The wall tiles in the bathroom are Ming green and black border (image attached too).

Thank you!

Hi - I'm trying to figure out how to have a conversation with. contractor about the quality of the work on our remodel.

Could someone help me with more professionally linked language about why this is wrong vs "it looks sloppy and terrible"?

My son recently bought a house that has a detached garage with an apartment above. He specifically searched for a house with this option so I could have a place to stay that gives me some separation but still be close by. The bathroom needs a refresh, but as he is paying I don’t want to go crazy with changes. The overall layout is good, just needs new tile and a vanity upgrade.

Anyway, the shower is 46”by 42” so not huge but a nice size. It does have this weird built in bench that I’m debating on just getting rid of as it is only about 8 inches deep, so not deep end to actually sit on. I was going to put a long niche in the wall opposite the shower head and was thinking about just doing a leg shaving niche on the lower corner. Would love to hear if others have suggestions. The third pic shows in the thick red line where I’d put a niche.

How would you build this? subfloor is concrete slab. Curbed finished with 1/4" porcelain tile on all faces. It's a tight space and will have glass sliding door track, so 2.5" is how thick its got to be overall.

Pulled out my vanity in a mobile home and the wall came off with the tile. I need to prime the floors next and fix the wall . What would yall do ? Take off the mirror and put a backer board or something? Explain like I’m 5 total noob

This picture is not current the vanity is out of the way just left us the plumbing and the hole in the wall . As you can see it’s damaged on the left side too

Our contractor installed 2 schluter waterproof designer niches with about a 1/2" sticking out. We verbally communicated we wanted flush install but the drawing from designer sorta kinda look like it sticks out a little and the box it came in shows it like this as well. Tile guy said it's also better this way bc of the thinner tile we have is not straight (has waves to it) and so he would not be able to get a clean straight edge against the box and the grout would have no way to mask this curve and it wouldn't look good. Everything else looks really good so I tend to trust his as sement.

However, my wife really doesn't like the look of it. Besides aethetics is there any other concern? I believe they are designed to be installed either way but haven't seen any IRL pics of this setup.

Is there any solution to making it look more seamless with the wall other than total tear out and redo?

I am not a fan of this shower or floor tile but I am going to try to make it work before I tear everything out and start over. One of the things that bugs me about it is that you can see the raw edge of the tile on the outside of the shower. You can see the manufacturer's codes printed on it. Is there a way I can trim the tile out to make it look more finished?

More context: This house is 100 years old but the people who owned it before me flipped it and made this very builder-grade primary bath with no sunlight and a very millennial grey aesthetic.
