Flooring Ideas for Bathrooms

You can be as creative or traditional as you want when choosing your bathroom flooring.

From ceramic tiles to cement flooring and pebbles, the possibilities are endless.

Concrete Flooring - An alternative to traditional bathroom flooring is concrete.

Pebble Stone Tile - When traditional tilework simply will not do, choosing pebble stone tile may make all the difference.

Neutral Comfort - Having a soft, neutral tile in your bathroom is a brilliant way to visually enlarge the space.

Marble Effect - In many rooms, the tilework may provide a necessary environment, but in this bathroom the ceramic tiles add an atmosphere.

Consistent Tiling - If you prefer to have a similar look in your bathroom, start with the tile. The 12x12 ceramic tile flooring in the bathroom merges nicely with the tilework within the shower without looking too identical.

River Rock Floor - A river rock floor is a less expensive way to add a luxurious look to a bathroom.

Walk-in Showers

A standalone shower no longer means a glass door on a track. Now it means a frameless, glass shower that almost disappears into the room and keeps a small bathroom from looking cramped.

Walk-in showers are the ultimate in style and luxury, a truly stunning option for the modern bathroom.

Walk-in showers don’t require a curtain or door to block the spray of water, resulting in a spacious, open look.

While the old type of showers have shallow curbs to keep excess water from running onto the bathroom floor, many custom walk-ins are designed with no curbs, just a gently sloping floor, which means more convenience, a big benefit for those with joint injuries or mobility issues.

Another benefit is multi-nozzle spray, a standard feature in many walk-in showers.

Depending on your individual preference, you can have as many as 10 spray nozzles directing water to all sides of your body.

A walk-in shower needs to be customized for each bathroom, and they usually are somewhat more complex to build.

Curbless styles, in particular, must be carefully sloped to ensure that water run down the drain, not out into the bathroom. This is work for a skilled tradesman.

A walk-in, or curbless, shower can be a decided selling point when you put a home on the market. A walk-in shower is regarded as a luxury feature and generally makes potential buyers perk up.
