6 Walk-in Shower Remodeling Ideas to Elevate Your Bathroom Design

6 Walk-in Shower Remodeling Ideas to Elevate Your Bathroom Design

Walk-in shower with modern design

Adding a walk-in shower to your bathroom remodel can be a smart decision for several reasons. Since walk-in showers are easy to access, they play an important role in a practical and functional bathroom design. There are so many features that can make your shower an integral part of the room’s aesthetic appeal as well. 

 

Today, we’ll take you through 6 walk-in shower design ideas that can elevate your bathroom design and help you create a space that’s both beautiful and functional.

 

6 Ideas to Inspire Your Walk-in Shower Remodel

 

1. Curb-less shower entry for universal design

If you consider your home to be your ‘forever home’, or someplace you’ll spend your golden years, it’s wise to think about the future of your bathroom design. As you age and mobility declines, will you still be able to easily use your walk-in shower?

 

Simply choosing a walk-in shower instead of a tub-shower model is a great start to designing your bathroom with the idea of aging in place. There’s another step you can take, however, to make your shower even more accessible … Remove the step! A curb-less shower entry is a great feature if you want to improve safety and accessibility down the road but still want a beautiful design now.

 

2. Custom wall niches and seating areas

In keeping with the universal design theme to make aging in place easier, how about a built-in shower bench? A seating area adorned with luxurious tile elevates your bathroom design far more than a traditional shower bench you might otherwise use to improve accessibility. 

 

Take this design idea one step further and add a custom built-in shampoo niche to the wall of your walk-in shower. From a design perspective, it’s the perfect place to add accent tiles that add depth and visual intrigue to the space. And from a functional viewpoint, a built-in niche can easily hold shampoo, soap, and other bathing accessories so they’re neat and tidy but also exactly where you need them.

3. Walk-in shower enclosed by glass

Some homeowners may steer away from a glass-enclosed shower simply for privacy reasons. Others, however, appreciate how a walk-in shower with glass walls and entry can make a small bathroom appear brighter and more spacious. The use of glass can also contribute to creating the feeling of a fancy spa, a popular bathroom remodeling goal of homeowners looking to have a relaxing spa-like bathroom right at home.

4. Tile accents and unique tile designs

Tile has long been a favorite adornment for kitchen and bath backsplashes as well as bathroom flooring. Using tile inside your walk-in shower, however, can take your bathroom’s design to a whole new level. From intricate mosaics and simple geometric designs to accent walls and niches, tile designs can complement the overall theme of the room or be a statement all their own.

5. Multiple showerheads and space for two

Older homes are known for having a tub-shower unit or simply a small walk-in shower that tucks neatly in a corner. While tiny showers can certainly have their place in small spaces like a guest bath, larger, more spacious walk-in showers can be the central element for a master bathroom.

 

Since many of today’s spouses and partners work outside the home, a simple morning routine can become complicated if more than one person is vying for the same space. A spacious walk-in shower solves that problem with plenty of room for two, along with multiple showerheads for the ultimate bathing experience.

6. Walk-in shower windows and skylights

There’s nothing quite like natural light streaming in from above to illuminate a shower and make the entire bathroom bright and beautiful. Wall windows inside the walk-in shower serve the same purpose. They bathe the area with sunshine and create the illusion of more space, even if the total square footage is actually quite small.

5 Bathroom Remodeling Ideas For a Bathroom Without a Window

5 Bathroom Remodeling Ideas For a Bathroom Without a Window

Irvine powder bathroom with floating wood shelf - bathroom remodeling ideasWhether it’s part of a master suite or simply a small guest bathroom, remodeling a bathroom without a window can pose challenges all its own. While many bathrooms do have a window or skylight, many do not since other areas of the home get higher priority in terms of window placement.

 

Making a windowless bathroom feel spacious, bright, and cheery can be a design conundrum but it’s certainly not impossible. Let’s look at a few design tricks that can brighten up your window-free bathroom and leave you with a space you truly love.

 

5 Bathroom Remodeling Ideas When Remodeling a Bathroom Without a Window

 

1.  Prevent Moisture Buildup

One of the biggest advantages of a bathroom with a window is the ability to let in fresh air and let out moisture. When you have a bathroom without a window, it’s important to keep air flow and moisture in mind.

 

Out of all the rooms in your home, the bathroom is the most likely to have moisture buildup thanks to all of the water features inside. Without a window to let moisture out, be sure to have a moisture-sensing fan installed. You can turn the fan on any time the bathroom is being used. In addition, the fan will automatically turn on once the moisture in the room reaches a certain level. So, even if you forget to turn it on before you hop in the shower, the fan will kick on as the moisture level in the room rises.

2.  Keep Your Bathroom Clean and Clutter-Free

A bathroom without a window can sometimes feel cramped or smaller than it actually is. When you’re able to keep towels, wash cloths, soaps, and other amenities tucked neatly away out of sight or at least off the countertops, the space will appear larger. Clutter-free surfaces are also much easier to clean so that’s an added bonus!

 

What’s the best way to keep your bathroom free of clutter? Be sure you have plenty of storage space. If your bathroom can fit standard cabinet sizes, great! Otherwise, custom cabinets can be a great solution for small or oddly-shaped areas that don’t conform to typical cabinet sizes. In this Laguna Hills master bathroom remodel, cabinets lining both walls help a window-free bathroom feel neat and clean.

We also love built-in shower niches for holding shampoo, soap, and other bathing items. They keep accessories arranged neatly exactly where you need them but also add visual appeal, especially if they have a unique tile design like this coastal bathroom in Huntington Beach.

3.  Utilize Appropriate Lighting, Mirrors and Reflective Surfaces

A bathroom without a window doesn’t have the benefit of natural light. The room doesn’t have to be dark and gloomy, though. With the many artificial lighting options on the market today, you may find that having to do without natural light is not even a concern. Work with a professional bathroom designer to determine the right type of lighting fixtures for each space in the room, maximizing light but also keeping with the overall design.

 

Using reflective surfaces such as shiny tiles and countertops as well as vanity mirrors can also make your bathroom bright and cheery. That’s because the light you do have is easily reflected around the room, making the space appear to be larger than it is while also enlightening every corner.

4. Install Glass Shower Walls and Doors

Instead of enclosing your shower with tiled walls or the traditional shower curtain, glass shower walls and doors can also contribute to a brighter space. Similar to mirrors, they easily reflect light around the room and give the illusion of additional space.

 

5. Create a Bathroom Design With a Light Color Scheme

Creamy neutrals and warm muted tones are among the bathroom color trends that are predicted to be popular this fall and beyond. They’re also color palettes that can make a bathroom without a window feel more spacious, airy, and bright. If you’re working without natural light, it’s often best to include lighter colors like cream, white, and pastels to brighten the space while keeping it cozy and comfortable.

How to Bring Color Into Your Bathroom Design

How to Bring Color Into Your Bathroom Design

Primary-bathroom-remodel-in-Laguna-Hills - spa-like bathroomLearning how to bring color into your bathroom is an essential part of today’s bathroom remodeling experience. Gone are the days of boring bathroom designs that simply revolve around making the space functional. Today’s homeowners are also interested in making this important room aesthetically pleasing … sometimes even a work of art!

 

Let’s take a look at some simple ways to add color to your bathroom either in a bold way or in a more subtle manner … the choice is yours!

 

6 Easy Ways to Bring Color Into Your Bathroom Design

 

1.  Painted Accents

Perhaps one of the easiest ways to bring color into your bathroom is through painted accents. These can include entire walls or even smaller wall sections such as you see in this North Tustin spa-like bathroom. A beautiful blue adds a cool, relaxing vibe while simultaneously highlighting the adjacent white semi-custom cabinets and built-in makeup vanity.

 2.  Colorful Tile Designs

There is so much that can be done with tile in today’s bathroom designs. Whether you want an entire wall covered in brightly colored tiles or you opt for something more subtle, using tile to add color and texture is a popular trend.

 

In this Foothill Ranch bathroom remodel, the shower niche is beautifully accented by a marble and limestone mosaic design. The same pattern is continued in the backsplash above the vanity, highlighting the neutral colors of the room but also adding depth and texture to the space.

3.  Show Stopping Vanities

Single or dual vanities are often chosen for their functionality. While function is critical in this frequently trafficked room, aesthetics matter, too. Add color to your bathroom and elevate the entire design by choosing a colorful vanity. The Maritime Blue Kemper cabinets in this Foothill Ranch bathroom, for example, are a solid color but provide a stunning contrast to the room’s otherwise neutral color palette.

4.  Colorful Countertops

The type of countertop you choose for your bathroom is important for usability and durability. But it’s also an integral part of the room’s color scheme. It’s easy to add color to your bathroom with a solid colored countertop or even a multi-colored one.

 

This master bathroom in Ladera Ranch features a dark colored countertop with matching backsplash. Although it appears to be made out of soapstone, the countertop is actually made from quartz. Its dark color adds a luxurious feel to the space while also making the lighter colored walls and cabinets pop.

5.  Mixing Materials

Simply using a variety of materials can bring color to your bathroom as well as create an intriguing design. Take a look at this Mission Viejo master bathroom remodel. Its eclectic materials include floating wood shelves, an accent wall of 3D stacked stone, and porcelain and glass shower tiles. The end result is a rustic modern design that’s both colorful and relaxing.

6.  Colorful Linens and decor

Not every colorful bathroom feature has to be set in stone … or wood … or quartz … or tile. If you’re looking for an easy way to bring color to your bathroom but not make it permanent, consider using towels, artwork, or other decor to add pops of color throughout the room. These can easily be changed with the seasons or whenever it suits your fancy.

5 Coastal Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

5 Coastal Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

coastal-inspired-bathroom-remodel

 

The coast has always been the heart of Southern California culture, so when thinking about remodeling your home, you may find yourself naturally gravitating towards bringing that tranquil beach vision indoors. A bathroom renovation provides the ideal opportunity to create a peaceful space that incorporates the beloved coastal-inspired lifestyle.

Home design trends may come and go, but here are 5 timeless coastal remodeling ideas that will ensure you love your bathroom for years to come.

 

5 Coastal Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

 

1.  Highlight Coastal Hues

When you imagine the coast, you probably think of calming blue tones, sandy whites, & organic wood accents. When it comes to your bathroom remodel, you want to choose colors that will be contemporary yet ageless. You will find that incorporating contrasting yet complementing hues throughout your design is a great place to start when envisioning your seaside retreat.

This Huntington Beach bathroom renovation features bright, white countertops & stunning blue custom cabinets to mimic white sand beaches & airy, blue skies.

2. An Eye-Catching Shower Tile

A captivating shower tile can take your bathroom renovation to the next level. When searching for that perfect coastal-inspired tile, look for finishes that mimic common coastal textures: pebble or mermaid tile are two great options when trying to achieve this look. When it comes to colors, you may want to have a tile that is the star of the show, or you may opt for a subtle, neutral tile while adding pops of color in other aspects of your bathroom.

This tile featured in this Laguna Niguel bathroom remodel below, is an example of a timeless, classy tile that is the focal point of the space. The moment you walk into this room, your eye gravitates towards a deep blue mermaid pattern design. The gold features add additional dimension but do not stray too far away from the coastal vision.

3.  A Timeless Accent Wall

Shiplap is just one example of an accent wall that will be forever-trending, it is a classic coastal staple and can be as subtle or as playful as you desire. Other examples of accent walls to think about adding to your remodel are a simple ocean blue wall, or a wallpaper with a beach motif — seashells, waves, fish, whatever represents what you love about the coast.

4.  Mix & Match Coastal Materials

Just as important as your color scheme is the texture elements that you choose to incorporate in your bathroom remodel. Layering earthy, organic materials that represent smooth beach pebbles or driftwood can help you achieve your vision. Another example is adding distressed floating shelves, or installing tiles with a timber grain finish which can also help support your coastal bathroom theme through texture.

5.  Add Structural Features

Elevate your coastal-inspired bathroom by installing wood beams to bring balance & contrast to your space. This unique structural feature emphasizes the naturalness of the coastal environment but is also a versatile tool in any space.

This Newport Coast primary bath remodel chose to use exposed beams in their space, The added color contrast and texture add dimension and interest to this stunning space.

5 Bathroom Color Trends for Fall 2022 and Beyond

5 Bathroom Color Trends for Fall 2022 and Beyond

Minimalistic earthy Newport Coast bathroom remodel

 

When looking to refresh your home, your bathroom is the perfect place to start! It is a space where you get to relax, refresh, and be yourself, so ideally, you would want that space to reflect these ideas. Whether it is getting ready or getting home from your day, you want to complete your routine in a tranquil environment that brings you peace.

For some, a calming bathroom might entail bright pops of color, while for others it may be soft neutrals. Regardless of your taste, we want to highlight a few tones that are currently trending for fall 2022 but will be timeless staples for years to come.

 

5 Bathroom Color Trends for Fall 2022 and Beyond

 

1.  Warm Muted Tones

When fall comes to mind, you may picture burnt oranges & warm tones, even though these colors may be representative of a certain season, using them in your bathroom design can keep that cozy feeling all year long- while remaining classic and trendy.

Referring to accent walls and wood features, softened versions of terracotta & marigold are going to offer those warm, sultry tones that bring brightness into your space but are still mellow and soft.

 

warm-muted-bathroom-design-colors

2.  Inspired by Minimalism

Minimalism is all the talk today, and we can see why. Clean but not bland, and simple but not boring, light colors with cool undertones represent this “less is more” idea perfectly.

Inspired by the late 1960s/early 1970s movement that focused on expressing only the most essential elements of a space, this trending theme focuses on seamless compositions like matching backsplashes and countertops. We see home design straying away from grey and bright white tones, and meeting somewhere in the middle to create a blissful space.

3.  Jewel Tones

Maybe you’re not a minimalist, but not quite a maximalist- wanting to include color in your bathroom without feeling overwhelmed. These deep & moody jewel tones are a great way to embrace color in your bathroom and are especially beautiful for shower tile, cabinets, & accent walls.

Whether muted or not, colors such as turquoise, sapphire, emerald, aquamarine, jade, and peridot are stunning examples of sophisticated jewel hues.

4.  Earthy Hues

Your bathroom is your safe space, so designing it with colors that are going to ground you and create a calming environment is essential to creating a space you will love for years to come. Earthy hues include tones such as muted green, taupe, and beige,
reminding you of the natural world around you.

Not only are these shades ideal for walls & flooring, but they are perfect for cabinetry, tile, & fixtures as well. When trying to achieve a natural, earthy space, you can go a step further by incorporating organic and sustainable materials that give off tranquil energy.

 

Sage colored walls

 

5.  Creamy Neutrals

Neutral palettes are quite common when it comes to home design. The obvious reason behind this is that natural tones are timeless and can adapt to your needs a bit more easily than intense colors.

When we use the term creamy neutrals, we are also saying off-white tones, leaning more towards a subtle beige with warm undertones. The versatility that comes with these tones makes bathroom design simple and timeless, painting your walls in this palette might make your space look & feel larger as well.
