This photo shows a gorgeous well designed shower, but what makes it so pleasing to the eye? Let’s take a look at some of the design features of this shower and reveal what makes it such a beautiful shower.

• A darker stone tile is used around the perimeter to create a frame / border
• The darker tile border creates a patterned design without making the shower design too busy
• The field tile installation is simple  as not to compete with the shower fixtures
• The shower door is frameless allowing all of the tile in the shower to be seen and enjoyed
• The knee walls have been covered with chiseled stack stone for more detail and texture than plain sheet rock
• The shower fixtures are in a complimentary finish to the stone color (even the hinges on the shower door coordinate!)

This shower is a great example of how to use simple and neutral tile choices to create a well designed shower with a natural, timeless look and feel.

Not being able to see some of the other details of the bathroom and shower it makes me wonder…..What’s on the shower floor? A complimentary mosaic? The same darker stone as the border? Could the mirrors be outlined or framed in the darker accent tile? What’s on the bathroom floor? A combination of the two tiles in the shower? Something with more texture and color range?  Is there a tub in the room with the chiseled stack stone on the tub front? Oh, the possibilities with tile and stone!
