How this bathroom came together
The goal
The aim was a small bathroom that feels open and calm, with a glass shower instead of a curtain, a vanity that leaves the floor clear and one warm metal finish to set against cool stone-look tile.
The challenge
This is a narrow room with the vanity, toilet and shower in a single line and a door that opens into it. Small tiles and busy grout lines would chop a room like this into pieces, and a standard vanity standing on the floor would make the walkway feel tighter still.
The solution
We tiled the walls floor to ceiling in large blue gray marble-look tile, laid so the soft gray veining flows across the joints, and the shower is part of the same tiled envelope, closed by a single frameless glass panel rather than a framed door. A brushed gold exposed shower column with a rain head stands on the back wall. The floor is a white marble-look tile that runs from the door into the shower area. A white floating vanity with an integrated sink and two drawers hangs on the side wall, finished with a brushed gold faucet and long gold pulls. Above it sit a frameless mirror, a gold light bar with round shades and two gold towel rings, and a round light is set into the ceiling.
The result
The bathroom reads as one continuous room. The large tiles keep the joints few, the glass keeps the shower open to view, and the floating vanity shows the floor beneath it, so the narrow space feels wider than it is. The brushed gold on the faucet, pulls, rings, light bar and shower column ties the whole room together against the cool tile.

Questions about this project
Why tile every wall instead of only the shower?
In a small bathroom, tiling every wall in the same large format removes the line where the shower ends and the painted wall begins, so the room looks bigger and more finished. It also gives a surface that is easy to wipe down anywhere, not only inside the shower.
Is a single glass panel enough for a shower?
For a shower set at the end of a room like this one, often yes. A fixed frameless panel keeps most of the spray in, takes up no swing space and leaves the tile in view. Whether it suits a particular bathroom depends on the shower size and where the head sits, which we check at the consultation.
