Watch the Project Video

See this completed bathroom remodel in motion — from the bold
rust-toned wall tile and curbless shower layout to the floating vanity,
smart toilet, and custom glass enclosure. This short walkthrough shows
how the full tub-to-shower conversion came together in a compact space
with a much more custom final look.


From a Standard Tub to a Bold Walk-In Shower

This completed bathroom remodel transformed an older three-piece bathroom
into a bold, custom-looking space through a full tub-to-shower conversion.
Instead of following a predictable all-white bathroom formula, this project
uses warm glossy rust-toned wall tile,
a dark accent band, and light terrazzo-look
porcelain in the lower zone and on the floor — creating a room that feels
far more architectural than a standard builder-grade renovation.

The scope covered everything: full demolition, waterproofing system,
linear drain, sliding glass door,
floating vanity,
smart toilet, heated floors,
pot lights, exhaust fan, new entrance door,
and living room ceiling work — all in one coordinated project.

Design Strategy: Character Through Material & Colour


This bathroom was designed to feel bold and personal —
built around a tile choice that gives every surface
warmth, texture, and visual character that standard tile simply cannot replicate.

1

Artisan-Style Terracotta Tile

Floor-to-ceiling artisan-style terracotta tile in warm amber and rust tones gives the shower
a rich, artisanal feel. Each tile is slightly different —
the variation is what makes the finish
look hand-crafted rather than mass-produced.

2

Dark Navy Accent Band

A dark navy tile band runs the perimeter at the base of the shower —
grounding the warm upper tiles and creating a clear visual transition
between the terracotta walls and the white terrazzo floor.

3

Curbless Layout

Removing the tub and building a curbless walk-in shower
made the bathroom feel larger and more accessible.
The linear drain keeps the floor clean and uninterrupted,
and the sliding glass door maximizes usable space.

4

Smart Fixtures

Smart toilet, floating vanity, rain shower head with handheld,
thermostatic valve, heated floor, and pot lights —
the functional layer matches the visual ambition
of the tile design.
