small bath
Too busy with White Calcutta shower walls from ReBath?
5 shelf cabinet to replace oak wall cabinet and white bookshelf. Off the floor is a good idea.
Definitely needed next to the toilet.
Plumbing - faucets, etc. - that double as grab bars. A necessity!
Accessory shelves that double as grab bars - brilliant.
Whether or not I keep my old bathtub, the subway tile would be a sensible choice for my 1940s era house. With the addition of the wainscotting like trim, it keeps a flavor of the era. The dark floor anchors the space. Love the niche. I would want to add decorate but functional grab bars - you know, the ageing in place design, much as I hate to admit the need might be there.
I like consistency of tile segue from shower to rest of bathroom, and the invisible glass, making space seem larger. I love the cabinetry. Don't know if I have room for a solid cabinet in my 1940s bathroom, but maybe a floating shelf with sink might work better. Biggest conundrum is keep old cast iron tub or replace with walk in shower?
For a small space, emphasis is on simplicity, all white, with a traditional pattern in the floor tile and classic subway tub surround. I grew up visiting tiny NY apartments and always loved the slightly trompe l'oeil geometric patterns on the floor, and the subway tile, of course. One of my goals is building in a generously proportioned mirrored cabinet (mine sticks out right now). I have a similarly proportioned pedestal sink but it takes up too much room in my tiny bathroom.

color and orientation of this tile is amazing. Looking for this color blue for the new bathroom. Or perhaps a wainscotting consisting of vertical tiles. There is a curvy wall that would require smaller width tiles to span the curve.
