By Ofelia Young

Tile sets the mood, but the shower fixture often provides the detail that brings the design into focus. White herringbone walls look crisp with a black rain shower head, gray glazed tile supports a softer nickel finish, and black stacked tile makes a gold fixture stand out. Explore bathroom combinations that balance the shower head with vanities, shelves, tubs, and other practical features.

Huong Vu, an interior designer, says a baseboard can be more than a structural necessity. The tall white baseboard here has a minimal design and stepped edge, forming a refined frame for the bathroom and bringing its elements together.

The design frames a natural vista seen through the main window, with greenery outside as its focal point.

The lower niche can double as a footrest, which supports shower comfort, according to Annuska Menoita. The shower niche stores shower essentials and provides organized storage within reach.
