Though I don't love that precise color combo, I am bookmarking it for inspiration about how to organize colored tile in a traditional bath and especially where to hand soap dishes and towel racks. Could we see some more inspo, traditional or modern, for over- and next-to-sink storage and display? Shelves, soap dishes, hand towel racks, etc.?

Currently debating whether to reduce my master bath from double vanity to one for more counter and storage space (we don't share a bath for the sake of marital peace and harmony), current master only has a shower and I plan on keeping it that way because it is a small space. No kids, 1980s farmhouse (on a farm). I love basket weave and marble hex tiles, thinking classic black and white for the guest bath. I have an idea book saved on Houzz so will try and figure out how to post pics.

Personally, I think having more counter space and storage is better than two sinks. Especially in a small bath. The only time I think double sinks makes sense is if you have kids close in age and gender where they'd be brushing their teeth/washing their faces at the exact same time but I gotta think that would be a relatively short-lived timeframe.

Quoted PP and I agree with you - the argument has been with DH - who doesn't use that bathroom anyways so it shouldn't matter to him how many sinks are there. I would much rather have a center sink with side wall cabinets or more counter space for my lotions and potions, or possibly using space to expand the shower so I could put in a shaving bench. Our guest bath has a nice double vanity and I plan on keeping that bathroom layout as is, just updating cabinetry/tub/tile/repaint.

I think the double sink is something burned into our brains by realtors and real estate shows. I am all about designing for YOU now. I hate when people talk about resale value...as if you're supposed to suppress your needs because you might sell your house some day? You do you, people!

No thanks.

The one with it on the ceiling even would give me a migraine.

Amazingly, you don't have to put things in your house that you don't like.

And if tile would give you a migraine, see a specialist.

Place the mat parallel to the shower, so a person sitting on the toilet has their feet on the short side. That way your mat does double duty. A medium-larger size mat would work better than a small one.

Agreed. I have a bathroom with this setup and that’s what I do.
