11 Bathroom Design Recipes You Can Build Now(Toronto & GTA)

A great bathroom is more than plumbing and tile — it’s your daily reset. To turn inspiration into action, our design team created 11 complete “recipes”: mood boards with specific tile + paint selections you can actually source and install.

• We verify tile availability through our partner The Tile Shoppe (stock can vary by location).
• Warranty: We back waterproofing and tile installation with a full 5-year warranty. Other workmanship is covered by our standard warranty (2–5 years depending on scope).
• Paint callouts: Each mood board lists Benjamin Moore paint colours with an equivalent from Sherwin-Williams where helpful. We can cross-match either brand on request.

• Modern & moody: deep hues, texture, architectural lighting (Ellesmere, Devon).
• Nature-inspired: stone, wood, botanicals, terrazzo (Corsica, Victoria, Sicily, Capri).

• Playful pattern & colour: encaustic looks, terracotta, Moroccan mixes (Somerset, Fiji, Vancouver).
• Light & serene: sea-glass tones, onyx/marble looks (Melville, Madagascar).
