Master Bath Bathroom in Milwaukee

[frances-baby-houseman]

We went to look at the 1.2 million dollar immaculate untouched but well maintained mid-century ranch that our real estate agent showed us. It is the most insane house I've ever seen

it has a pink marble bathroom (above)

all the floors are terrazzo

the primary bathroom has a bathtub inside the shower enclosure with a little step to get out of it (I do not know how to describe this feature)

there is a drive-through garage (a thing I have never seen before IN MY LIFE)

the backyard is a japanese garden

adam was like where will the children play sports, the entire yard is a japanese garden and then we kept walking around the back and discovered a FULL HALF BASKETBALL COURT

there is a boiler (??)

it is on a slab so no basement

there is no actual family room and all the walls are stone

the walls that aren't stone are covered in fabric wall paper

I am not describing this well bc it is PERFECT

every room is full of built ins, you would not need a single dresser

the walls are covered in actual art work, if we don't buy the house I'm at least going to the estate sale (I know there will be one bc many things are tagged "don't sell")

there is an enormous pass through from the kitchen to the dining room

there is an explicable structure made of steel and mesh screens enclosing the patio

it has a circle driveway in addition to the drive through garage

again, a DRIVE THROUGH GARAGE

there is a tiny office all the way on the other side of the house

every room has a door

the bedroom half of the house can be fully closed off from the rest of the house

listen i'm obsessed with this place but we cannot spend 1..2 million dollars

Remedial Lessons, Chapter 2

[Read on AO3]

Written for @kaedix's birthday!! Last year Kimber requested what become the first chapter of this fic, back when there were only a handful of people in the fandom who had even watched Soul Eater. But last summer the discord ended up watching Soul Eater as its summer shonen, so I was all too happy to continue it when she asked for a continuation this year!

This is hardly the first sepulcher that Shirayuki has been lead into since she started her time at Shibusen, but she’ll grant the professor this: it is the nicest.

“So what?” Obi huffs, parka hunched up around his ears as he takes in the bank of computers stretched along the walls. His breath mists in the air as he speaks, like swallowing souls in reverse. “You get like, four? Five G in here? Or did you just like…roll some fiber out here? You know a guy? There’s some people who could really use this kind of set up—”

“Etiquette demands that a host graciously welcome his guests into his residence, whether that be a professional office or personal home,” Lata informs then with all the enthusiasm of a wet blanket. “However, since it seems that you are determined to wear it out as fast as humanly as possible, I think we’ll skip over all that.”

Obi presses a hand to his chest; his parka lets out a soft pffft under the pressure. “I’m just showing interest, sir. Showering you with compliments. Really—”

“Asking for proprietary information.” The professor glances over his shoulder, glowering at where she lingers in the doorway. “Come here already. We don’t have all day.”

‘Here’ happens to be a marble slab; one large and smooth enough to accommodate Mitsuhide from head to ankle, the way most beds do. There’s quite a few of them in the room, most serving as flat surfaces for Lata’s equipment, but this one has clearly been left free, sterile as an exam table, though with the way it fits into that carved bier beneath it, Shirayuki suspects—

“Is that a coffin?” Obi coughs, circling it like a cat around a bath. “Just what are you gonna do with her on that, doc? Hoist it up to the ceiling? Let lightning hit her? Hate to break it to you, but she’s already alive.”

“Obi.” If there’s one thing Shirayuki has learned about Shibusen faculty, it’s that you don’t go around giving them ideas.

“What? I just want to get the scope of the work or whatever.” His hands slide into his pockets, slowing his stride to a casual creep. “If we’re going to have to run, I’d like to start now rather than after he’s got your all hooked up to his Doom Canon.”

“Oh, really. I’m not about to perform surgery on her. Or mad science,” The professor grouses, rummaging around in a drawer. “This place is hardly sterile. But you can’t possibly think I’m so naive as to take your word about her bloodline, do you?”

Shirayuki wrinkles her brow. “Why would I lie about that?”

“Why does anyone lie, girl? To get what you want.” Lata straightens, the honed edge of his body angling toward the stone. “Now take off your coat. This won’t take long.”

She glances down at the cold marble and suppresses a shiver. “But you haven’t taken your coat off.”

“Of course not. It’s freezing in here.” Clouds steam from his sigh as he turns to her, strung tight with impatience. “And I hardly need to take blood samples from myself.”

The tag of her zipper digs bloodless gouges across the fleshier bits of her knuckles. Two year ago this would have all come as a shock, but after a few semesters at Shibusen, she’s only thankful it isn’t a weirder bodily fluid. “Blood? Couldn’t you just—?”

Obi steps right between them, shoulders not squared to shield but hunched, potential energy all coined in his spine like a spring. “Uh uh, no way, doc. We said we’d let you poke around, not actually put a needle through her. Just because she’s a weapon doesn’t mean you get to treat her like an ob—”

“I wasn’t asking you,” Lata informs him, bored. “Now are you going to take off your coat, Miss…?”

“Shirayuki.” Obi angles a look over his shoulder, half are you kidding and half don’t feed the animals. As if she were some child sticking her hand through bars at the zoo, daring a tiger to chomp them off at the wrist.

To be fair, it’s earned. But this particular tiger is their best best for surmounting this resonating problem, and Shirayuki’s willing to risk far more than a nibble to keep from collecting another ninety-nine souls. Twice is more than enough. “And yes, I will.”

The professor doesn’t quite smile, but there’s a shift in his eyes as she bares the skin at her elbow; a deepening of the crinkles at their corners, a widening of his pupils. There’s a part of him that likes this, that looks at her twining path of veins and sees something beyond flesh. That devours this stretch of skin the same way she might a grimoire’s pages, reading fell knowledge in every drop of her blood.

“Good.” She’s barely set herself on top of the sarcophagus, wincing at the chill that seeps through her jeans, when Lata strides right around Obi and grips her wrist. Klaxons ring between her ears, telling her to dig in her heels and twist, but there’s only air beneath them now, an awkward angle between her and the nearest flat surface, and—

Just a pinch, a squeeze, and he’s stepped away, glass slide gripped between his fingers.

“Wha….huh?” she murmurs, watching as blood wells up from the prick. It lasts hardly more than a blink— Obi hands her a tissue, and by the time she’s wiped the bead away, it’s like her skin was never broken at all. A perk of the lineage, Lord Death had always told her. “You just needed a drop?”

“As much as I would love to sequence the entirety of your genome, I would prefer not to wait for the results— or waste the resources.” He hums, much more chipper now that he’s placed that slide into one of his machines. “Not when a specimen sample is much quicker and negligibly less accurate.”

The reasoning is solid, but still— “Then why did you have me take off my coat?”

"To see if at least one of you could obey an order.” The professor jerks his chin toward Obi. “Or if you were as much of a lost cause as that one.”

“Hey! I can sit and roll over as good as anyone,” Obi sniffs, dropping his coat over her shoulders. “If I wanna.”

They’ve hardly known each other a quarter of an hour, but already Lata is sending her long-suffering looks. “That’s the entire—”

His machine beeps, once, twice, like it’s impatient, eager to have eyes on the data flying across its screen. Attention Lata’s quick to give, scrolling through faster than even she could possibly parse, turning familiar words into flipped-bit gibberish. The professor, however, hums.

“Well, you are from Carnwennan’s lineage, it seems.” Shirayuki can’t help but notice that he doesn’t say daughter. Like somehow a hidden bloodline was probable, but direct progeny a stretch. “You’ll forgive me for doubting you. I’ve met Excalibur” —he grimaces— “and there’s not much resemblance. In either of your forms.”

Obi cocks a hip against the sarcophagus, making himself one long, lean line. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Lata fixes him with the same sort of look a stern kindergarten teacher might give their most difficult charge. “Carnwennan was a dagger. And from what I’ve seen of Miss Shirayuki’s shape, she is most certainly not.”

One of these thing, his look says, is not like the other. “I suppose your father had his own lineage? Or should I assume he was a meister rather than a weapon?”

Her mouth opens, then shuts. Opens again, only to say, “I don’t know.”

There’s the vaguest twitch of that stern brow, the softest hum of intrigue. “Interesting. It was always said that Carnwennan was particular with her meisters, one must assume she would be even more so with a romantic partner. So who is he?”

“A deadbeat.” Obi says it like punctuation, the period at the end of a sentence gone on too long. He shifts too, crossing his arms and angling his shoulders, breaking line of sight between her and the professor. It’s effort she appreciates, even if it’s unnecessary.

“My mother is the legendary weapon,” she asks, each word weighed and measured, the perfect split between firm and fair. “Is my father really pertinent to your research?”

“Look around, Miss Shirayuki. Do you see a water cooler anywhere? A break room, perhaps? Coworkers?” The look he levels at her is downright withering. “Do I really look like the sort of man who would make small talk?”

Obi's smirk glints the way her blade does before it cuts. “He’s got us there, kid.”

There’s an inertia to overcome when it comes to her father; it’d been so much easier to not talk about it, to let everyone believe she thought he was dead. But now that he’s dredged himself up out of her memories and into reality, becoming more than just a character from the childhood she can’t remember, it’s…hard. Separating what she knows from what she feels is a job Shirayuki’s pretty sure she’s under qualified to handle.

“I don’t know much about him,” she admits, because that’s true. Maybe he raised her for four years, but she’s lived another thirteen without him, and that doesn’t make him any better than a stranger in her book. “He left me with my grandparents when I was little. I barely even remember his face.”

Also not a lie, even if it earns her some side-eye from Obi’s direction. She’d seen him for a day nearly a year ago; not enough to commit more than broad strokes to her memory. It’d be a miracle if she could even pick him out on the street.

Not that she’d tell the professor that. She’s already in danger of clucking tongues and piteous looks; something about parental abandonment bloodies even the hardest of hearts. There’s quite a bit Shirayuki’s ready to weather for this training, but if she has to endure yet another ethically dubious mentor trying to empathize with her, well—

“Hm.” Lata’s fingers clack across the keys, not even sparing her a cursory glance. “Interesting.”

“So.” Obi wraps his mouth around the sound, stretching it as long as the look he sends her. “That’s it, right, doc? You’re gonna help us?”

“I didn’t say that.” Lata steps back from his screen, one rigid line from the heels of boots to the whorl of his cowlick. “I study legendary weapons. As intriguing as it might be to study one of their progeny— however direct— Miss Shirayuki is not her mother. There’s no guarantee that her biometric data will provide any meaningful contribution toward my—”

“So you have other half-mythical weapons lining up to be a part of your experiment?” Obi perches on the sarcophagus like a particularly mischievous gargoyle. “Is Caliburn’s great-grandson going to walk through here? Excalibur’s ex-roommate? Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find a guy who knows a guy who saw Kusanagi-no-tsurugi buying cabbages once.”

Lata’s mouth pulls thin. “Caliburn is—”

“—the same sword as Excalibur,” Shirayuki finishes, hurriedly.

“What?” Obi squawks, nearly toppling from his perch. “But wasn’t that the one in the stone, and then that lady in the lake or whatever gave that guy another one…?”

“That was a translation error,” she murmurs, flushing as Lata lifts his brows. “From when the troubadours in France began singing Arthur’s lays. Exacalibur was the sword in the stone. He just, er…broke. And the Nimue” — ah, she’s starting to sound like her uncle— “never mind. It’s a common mistake. He was still sleeping when it happened.”

“A better time.” Lata glares as if they were the ones who woke him.

“Huh.” Obi shakes a hand, like that might clear the air. “The point is, does how many legendary weapons is doc gonna meeting hanging around in some dusty ass old ruins? You’ve gotta need us as much as we need you. Maybe even more.”

If the professor was glaring before, he’s glowering now.

“You make a compelling point,” he admits, begrudging them every word. “Fine. I supposed it would be beneficial for my work if I helped you both with your resonance issue. But you’ll have to help me with my research,” he warns, as if that soured rather than sweetened the deal. “And not just your own contributions to my data— I need legendary weapons if I’m going to get anywhere, not just their…relations.”

“Well,” Shirayuki hums, struggling to keep her voice so even, so innocent. “I could always ask my uncle, if you really needed—”

“We can start with your training first,” Lata grits through his grimace. “I’m hardly that desperate.”

“Sounds like you’ve got yourself a deal, doc.” Obi sprawls himself across the top of the coffin, tapping at the marble slab. “Now which one of these are ours? You got a couple lined with Egyptian cotton or something? Maybe some memory foam? I don’t need a lot but I’ve got to be able to snooze in full Nosferatu.”

His eyes close, arms cutting up to cross over his chest— full Nosferatu, indeed— but Lata only grunts, “None of them.”

One eye peels open, skeptical. “What, the Cryptkeeper’s got guest rooms down here? A Best Western? It takes three hours to get here one way, there’s no way we can hike out and back every day.”

“Of course you can’t,” Lata scoffs. “I’m coming back with you.”

*

“Just like that, huh?” Obi’s no longer playing vampire, but he’s still sitting on the sarcophagus,  shoulders stacked beside hers. “You’re not even going to ask us what the problem is first? What if it’s just a five-minute fix, and—?”

“If it were really some ‘five-minute fix’ then that idiot Shidan would have been able to handle it,” Lata grouses, already sifting through books to take with him. “And there’s certainly no point in asking your opinions on the problem. If you neither of you have managed to devise a solution by now, then I doubt that you have any meaningful insight to provide me.”

Shirayuki would have protested— if the professor didn’t have a point. Locating a reclusive academic was hardly the sort of option a reasonable person took as their first step. But after two years of reaching for resonance and having it slip through their fingers, Shirayuki was willing to try anything. Short of braving one of her uncle’s lectures, of course.  “That’s not very nice.”

Obi tucks his chin, keeping his grimace between the two of them. “He’s not wrong.”

“Still,” she sighs, “he doesn’t need to say it.”

“Hey, what did he mean anyway?” She cocks her head, questioning, and Obi clarifies, “About how you don’t look like your family.”

“My uncle…” It’s her turn to grimace now. “Well, my mother doesn’t take after him, that’s all.”

“That gives me at least one answer about your father,” Lata grunts, heaving a trunk up onto his back.

"Really?" Obi drawls, rubbing at his shoulder. "I feel like I didn't get anything from that at all."

"I'm sure," the professors hums dryly, "that you're used to it. Now, are you two ready to go? We have quite a ways back, and thought I am experienced at traveling in the snow, I'd prefer not to do it in the dark.”

Obi heaves sigh, shoving his hands in his pockets. "Get a load of this guy, kid. Spends all this time packing up everything that isn't nailed down, then ask us to hurry up and--"

"Today, if you would." The words echo down the hallway, ghostly in the empty room.

"Yeah, yeah. We're coming." He rolls his shoulders, shifting his weight like a fighter right before a match. "Welp, you heard him, kid. One-way trip to Lilias, leaving now. You ready?"

Shirayuki doesn't spare a glance for the sepulcher behind her-- but she does pause for a shiver. Really, she'd thought she'd left these sorts of trips behind at Shibusen. "More than."

"Love to hear it." He holds out a hand as she starts up the rise. "Let's get out of here. Ladies first."

There's no hesitation as she takes it, hand fitting in to his like her haft snugs into his palm. "Let's."

Top 8 Creative Ways to Use Marble Wall Cladding in Residential and Commercial Spaces

Marble wall cladding is a luxurious and versatile design element that enhances residential and commercial spaces. With its natural veining, elegant textures, and timeless appeal, marble transforms interiors and exteriors, making them more sophisticated. Whether you’re looking for a statement feature or a subtle touch of opulence, here are some creative ways to incorporate elegant marble wall cladding into your property.

Statement Feature Walls

The implementation of marble-clad walls results in instant ascension of space aesthetics. A living room space gains a magnificent central point when adorned with impressive marble wall cladding which establishes an elegant atmosphere throughout the space. Marble wall cladding applied to lobbies and reception areas of hotels and corporate offices gives businesses an opportunity to make strong first impressions on their clientele.

Luxurious Bathroom Interiors

Bathrooms commonly use marble wall cladding as both water-resistant and upscale-looking surfaces. The use of marble in shower areas and both bathroom vanity backsplashes and full wall applications generates the feeling of a luxurious spa space. A modern aesthetic combination results when marble stands with glass and matte black hardware.

Kitchen Splashbacks with a Sophisticated Twist

Marble splashbacks serve as an outstanding method to introduce elite sophistication into kitchens. Marble slabs create an unpainted smooth surface which differs from tile joints that catch debris. Marble from the White Carrara or Calacatta family delivers refined brightness but Nero Marquina produces a bright dramatic appearance.

Elevating Staircases and Hallways

Marble wall cladding serves as an elegant solution to upgrade the appearance of corridors and flights of stairs which architects tend to neglect. A stairway decked with marble gives spaces an elegant grand feel when softly lit. Marble walls in commercial buildings offer a clean sophisticated appearance to their corridors.

Outdoor Applications for a Seamless Flow

The common misconception about marble is incorrect because it exists outside of household interiors. Premium varieties of weather-resistant marble build defence against environmental damage which allows their usage in exterior designs encompassing outdoor walls, garden ornaments and external building surfaces. The smooth transition of indoor to outdoor spaces generated by marble creates properties that seem to blend.

Bespoke Fireplace Surrounds

A fireplace functions naturally as a principal point of interest in every living environment. The application of marble cladding elevates elegance while bringing forth an elegant classical presentation. Marble transforms reminders into beautiful framing that establishes a classy setting suitable for quiet home gatherings during winter months regardless of traditional or hip decorative styles.

Elegant Office Interiors

When applied to office walls marble surfaces create an environment of professional excellence along with premium ambiance. Open workspaces with marble cladding achieve two purposes: they reflect the sunlight and they shape an appearance of high class. The texturized pattern of marble and the book-matched appearance enhance corporate interiors with artistic value.

Boutique and Retail Store Designs

Luxury boutiques along with jewellery stores combine high-end retail spaces by mounting their walls with marble cladding to show their premium status. Wholesale or boutique shops that use marble with gold or brass elements achieve an upscale shopping atmosphere that suits their premium items.

Final Words

Marble wall cladding is more than just a decorative element—it’s a statement of sophistication. Whether in a home or a commercial property, its versatility allows for creative applications that elevate any space. By choosing the right type, finish, and placement, good quality marble wall cladding can transform interiors and exteriors with a timeless elegance that never goes out of style.

Bathroom natural stone

Bathroom Natural Stone: Timeless Elegance and Durability

Natural stone is a luxurious and timeless material that can add both elegance and durability to your bathroom. Whether you're designing a spa-like retreat or a classic bathroom, natural stone tiles bring unmatched beauty and sophistication to your space. Known for their unique textures, colors, and patterns, natural stone tiles elevate the overall aesthetic and create a luxurious feel that stands the test of time.

What Is Bathroom Natural Stone?

Bathroom natural stone refers to stone materials that are quarried directly from the earth and used for flooring, wall coverings, and even countertops in bathrooms. Common types of natural stone used in bathroom design include marble, granite, limestone, slate, travertine, and sandstone. Each stone has its own distinct characteristics, ranging from smooth and polished to textured and rustic.

Natural stone tiles are often used in high-traffic and moisture-prone areas of the bathroom, such as floors, shower walls, and backsplashes. With proper care and maintenance, these stones remain beautiful and functional for years to come.

Key Features of Bathroom Natural Stone

Unique Aesthetic Appeal One of the most striking features of natural stone is its inherent beauty. Each stone is unique, with patterns, veins, and colors that vary from slab to slab. The natural variations in the stone’s design give your bathroom a one-of-a-kind look, whether you're using it for walls, floors, or countertops. Marble, for example, is known for its elegant veining, while travertine offers a rustic, earthy appeal.

Durability and Longevity Natural stone is incredibly durable and resistant to wear and tear. Whether it’s the strength of granite or the moisture resistance of slate, natural stone tiles are built to last. They can withstand the humidity and temperature fluctuations typically found in bathrooms. When properly sealed, they can resist staining and damage from water, making them an ideal choice for areas exposed to high moisture.

Timeless Style Natural stone has been used in construction for centuries, and its timeless appeal ensures that it never goes out of style. Whether you choose sleek, polished marble for a luxurious modern bathroom or textured limestone for a more rustic look, natural stone complements a wide range of design styles. Its classic elegance can transform your bathroom into a sophisticated space.

Variety of Stone Types The versatility of natural stone allows for a range of design possibilities in the bathroom. Popular types of stone for bathrooms include:

Marble: Known for its luxurious, polished finish and intricate veining, marble is a popular choice for creating elegant bathrooms.

Granite: Highly durable and resistant to scratches and stains, granite offers a sleek, polished look with rich color variations.

Limestone: With a natural, earthy appearance, limestone is ideal for creating a calm and serene bathroom environment.

Travertine: Known for its pitted texture, travertine offers a warm, rustic charm that can create a cozy, spa-like atmosphere.

Slate: Slate has a unique, rugged texture and is often used in bathrooms to create a natural, earthy ambiance.

Natural Variation One of the key characteristics of natural stone is that no two pieces are exactly alike. The unique grain patterns, color variations, and textures ensure that every tile and slab is distinct. This adds a personalized touch to your bathroom, ensuring that your space feels unique and crafted just for you.

Why Choose Bathroom Natural Stone?

Luxurious and High-End Appeal Natural stone instantly elevates the overall look and feel of your bathroom. The elegant appearance of marble or the earthy texture of travertine brings sophistication and a high-end finish to your space. These stones also add value to your home, making them an investment in both aesthetics and functionality.

Versatility in Design Natural stone tiles can be used in a variety of ways, from covering large areas to accentuating smaller spaces. You can create a seamless look with large-format stone tiles, or opt for smaller tiles in intricate patterns. Natural stone can be used for walls, floors, countertops, and even as accent features like mosaics or borders.

Durability and Low Maintenance Natural stone is highly durable and, with proper care, can last for many years. Marble, granite, and slate are resistant to wear, while travertine and limestone are naturally resistant to moisture. Regular sealing and cleaning ensure that natural stone tiles maintain their beauty over time and resist staining, making them a low-maintenance choice for bathrooms.

Eco-Friendly Natural stone is an environmentally friendly choice since it is a natural product that does not require the intensive energy consumption or chemicals associated with the production of synthetic materials. Moreover, it is a long-lasting material, meaning it will not need to be replaced as frequently as other options.

Customizable to Your Style Natural stone tiles are available in a variety of finishes, from honed and polished to tumbled and textured. This means you can choose the perfect finish for your bathroom’s overall design, whether you're going for a sleek, contemporary look or a more traditional, rustic style. You can also experiment with different layouts, from simple grid patterns to more intricate designs, depending on your taste.

Where to Use Bathroom Natural Stone

Bathroom Floors Natural stone is an ideal choice for bathroom flooring because of its durability and resistance to moisture. Whether you choose polished marble or honed granite, natural stone provides a high-end, durable surface that can handle foot traffic while adding a luxurious touch to your bathroom. Stone floors can also be heated, providing warmth and comfort during colder months.

Shower Walls For a spa-like bathroom, natural stone tiles on your shower walls create a luxurious atmosphere. The combination of texture and color in stone tiles adds depth to the space and makes the shower area feel more indulgent. Stone’s natural resistance to moisture ensures it stands up well in wet environments.

Bathroom Countertops Natural stone countertops are a popular choice for bathroom vanities due to their beauty and functionality. Marble or granite countertops can provide a sophisticated, easy-to-clean surface. Stone is also resistant to heat and scratches, making it perfect for bathroom use.

Backsplashes Whether behind the sink or around a bathtub, natural stone can be used as a backsplash to add visual interest and texture. A marble or slate backsplash can create a stunning focal point in your bathroom, while also protecting the walls from water damage.

Feature Walls Natural stone is often used to create feature walls in bathrooms, whether it’s around a bathtub, shower area, or as a statement piece on one wall. A stone feature wall provides a luxurious, textured backdrop that elevates the entire room.

How to Care for Bathroom Natural Stone

Sealing Most natural stones, such as marble, limestone, and travertine, need to be sealed regularly to protect them from stains and moisture. Sealing helps to maintain the stone’s appearance and ensures its durability over time.

Cleaning Clean natural stone surfaces with a soft cloth or sponge and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, as these can damage the stone’s surface. Regular cleaning will keep your stone surfaces looking pristine.

Avoid Scratching While natural stone is durable, it is essential to avoid scratching the surface with abrasive materials. Use coasters and place mats to protect stone countertops from sharp objects.

Prevent Water Damage Although many natural stones are water-resistant, it's important to clean up spills quickly and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Regular sealing helps protect against water damage and mold growth.

Conclusion

Bathroom Natural stone tiles are a classic and elegant choice for any bathroom, offering unmatched beauty, durability, and a timeless appeal. Whether you prefer the luxurious look of marble, the rugged texture of slate, or the earthy charm of travertine, natural stone can elevate your bathroom design to a new level. Its versatility allows for endless design possibilities, from floors and walls to countertops and backsplashes. With proper care and maintenance, natural stone will continue to enhance the beauty and functionality of your bathroom for years to come.

Slab Showers: The Pinnacle of Luxury

Accent Walls and Bands: Personalized Flair

Adding an accent wall or decorative band within your shower is a fantastic way to inject personality and flair into your bathroom. This trend allows for creativity, enabling homeowners to play with color, texture, and pattern. Whether it’s a contrasting tile, a mosaic, or a unique material like glass or metal, accent walls and bands provide a focal point that draws the eye and elevates the design. This approach is particularly effective in open shower designs, where the accent can be appreciated from various angles, making your shower truly one-of-a-kind.

Bold Colors: Expressive and Energetic

Gone are the days of neutral-only bathrooms; bold colors are making a significant impact in shower design. Vibrant hues can transform your shower into an invigorating space, setting the mood and energizing your daily routine. From deep blues and greens to rich reds and yellows, bold colors can be introduced through tiles, fixtures, or even paint. This trend is perfect for those who aren’t afraid to express their personality and embrace a more adventurous design. To balance the look, consider pairing bold colors with neutral accents, creating a harmonious and dynamic shower design.

Conclusion

The landscape of shower design is diverse and exciting, offering something for every taste and style. As you explore these trends, consider how they can breathe new life into your bathroom, transforming it into a personal haven. Which of these styles resonates with you? Are you drawn to the timeless allure of subway tiles, or does the luxurious appeal of slab showers captivate your imagination? Whichever path you choose, remember that your shower design should reflect your personality and needs, creating a space that feels uniquely yours.
