1. Soothing and Spacious Design-build firm May Construction tripled the footprint of this low-curb shower in a San Jose, California, bathroom with a new, open layout. Clear tempered glass with satin brass hardware keeps the enclosure clean and modern, while 5-by-5-inch glossy ivory ceramic tiles with subtle tone variations wrap the walls and both sides of the pony wall. Brushed gold finishes unify the wall-mounted shower head and handheld fixture.
This retired empty nester loves living solo in her single-story San Jose, California, home. But her primary bathroom was a puzzle gone wrong. The chopped-up layout had a small white vanity opposite a walled-off space that included the toilet and a cramped shower. A lack of storage, paired with outdated finishes — such as plain white square tiles on the shower walls and floor — added to the uninspired feel.
Bathrooms are often the smallest rooms in the house, yet remodeling them usually involves almost every trade, from plumbers to tilers and painters to plasterers. There are so many people to manage that the key to getting it right and staying on budget is organization. The more organized you can be, the less likely it is that you’ll incur additional costs.
