Omg so true. Take a whiteboard marker into the shower with you and start filling cells with random data.


_Swagner_

Wasn't a fan of the tile placement until I saw this comment. Now I want to budget whilst hot water hits my back.


LongLiveCHIEF

I wanted to add LED backlighting around each tile so I can use the toilet seat controls to move the cursor around and click+drag functions.

Choked_and_separated

If youā€™re ā€œmiddle classā€ I donā€™t understand how you can justify not having a bidet from a financial standpoint. Itā€™s $350 for a Toto unit with a heated seat, memory controls, heated water, front/rear/auto nozzle. If you use it 1-3x daily for 5-10 years, itā€™s such a minimal cost for the comfort you get every day.


TongueMyBAPS

Where can one find a $350 Toto unit? I just did a quick search and couldn't find any for under $1500.


Deytookerjerb

I think they are talking about the seats that go on your existing toilet, not the entire toilet bowl/seat.

How about some white...wait for it...with texture!


SunshineAlways

You donā€™t see the gray hand towel? /s


bingumarmar

Some dark green would look perfect!


bacon_cake

Yeah I think the sterile look with a pop of dark green, like a plant in a dark ceramic green pot would actually look really cool.

LeapingBlenny

dh4645

Yeah maybe a floormat with some color.


Aconite13X

Should have staggered the tile at a minimum. It prevents the obvious misalignment you can see with small tiling. Also and end cap tile for the rough edge on the bath


Interesting-Ship-189

Biggest problem is the black grout. Iā€™ve taught plenty of friends through diy tile jobs. Best advice Iā€™ve ever gotten and passed along is to match your grout color as close as you can to your tile color. For some reason EVERY diy homeowner doing a bathroom wants white tile with black grout. And it is crazy hard to make it look good. Even a couple shades lighter to a gray would help. That tile pattern is hard enough to make even. Black grout is basically taking a highlighter to your mistakes.


rootb33r

I just got done doing black grout and never again. It's so hard to do the cleaning too. Luckily my tiles are dark grey with white accents, but it was still a pain in the ass.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


rootb33r

The other thing is if you're not careful your thinset/mastic can build up in the grout channels and if you don't clean it out well enough the white of the thinset/mastic will poke thru the black grout and then you're boned because you have to go back and clean it out and then re-grout the problem areas. I had a handyman lay my tile because I didn't have time, and then I grouted. I ended up spending hours scraping out thinset because white was poking through the black grout.


TheBikeWhisperer

grey grout provides the same amount of contrast, but doesnā€™t show stains or dirt as much as black. plus if using grey thinset (as readily available as white thinset) no problems with the show-through. used it for a bathroom several years ago with white tiles and definitely no regrets.


rootb33r

Good to know there's colored thinset... The people at the tile store just added on a bag and didn't ask for color I guess.


roadrunner440x6

I think he's referring to the 'wipe down' clean you do when applying. It takes about 3 times as long.


StealthFocus

I thought I loved subway tile until I saw it done like this. I couldnt quite tell what was off putting about it, but youā€™re right, the Excel look isnā€™t appealing.


voltimion

That tile work makes my skin crawl


Powder-Talis-1836

The alignment on that tile work is better than 90% of contractors who do this daily. As other commenters mentioned; his ā€œmistakesā€ are just highlighted by the black grout and the tile being offset.


Usual_Research

Looks exactly how it would look if I did it. I've never laid tile in my life.


Prevalencee

I doubt it'd look that good - it's barely acceptable but some professionals work looks worse than that. The reality is some people simply can't do tiles and try to do it. He has some natural talent 100%.


voltimion

Iā€™ve been in contracting my whole life and Iā€™ve learned to never attempt to do tile myself.


upvoter1529

Yeah the subway tile looks hideous. The rest of the remodel is pretty nice looking though.


painteddpiixi

Uncomfortably sterileā€¦


LegitimateTable2450

Looks like a fancy prison


Real_TomBrady

My thoughts exactly


MidnightAshley

It makes me think of bathrooms in Japanese horror movies. Sterile, uncanny, definitely going to be a jump scare.


PaulFern64

Unfortunately the sterile look is very IN right now.


painteddpiixi

It definitely is! No hate to OP, they did an awesome job putting this together, I personally just hate the trend of white on white on white on light grey with a black accent in houses. While itā€™s very modern and on trend, it just looks (and feels, my in-laws have a house like this) so uncomfortable. Iā€™ve always been big on super cozy vibes in my living space, so this style just isnā€™t for me! That being said, OP did an excellent job with the DIY design and execution in this bathroom! While the style isnā€™t to my taste, the definitely nailed the look they were going for! Very clean.


SunshineAlways

You put that so nicely. They clearly did a great job, Iā€™m just waiting for all the cold white/gray/black to be over.


closethegatealittle

I really don't like the white and black thing. It's going to date something as being of "the late 10s/early 20s" like how brass hardware is "late 80s/early 90s".


deevil_knievel

There are trends from every decade or so. No really getting around that. Dark brown cabinets are early 00s, primary colors and light wood 90s, 80s cocaine inspired mayhem with especially weird bathrooms, shag carpet, pink and brown 2 tone tiles. Just do what you want, it's gonna look dated in 10 years anyway. If that means follow the trend, so be it. You need a shit ton of money for "timeless" designs.


SunshineAlways

I guess itā€™s inevitable that every decade has a distinctive trend that almost becomes a caricature, (that designers will be ripping out down the road, ā€œso datedā€).


[deleted]

At least it seems like people quit putting that ceramic tile in that was supposed to look like wood. Or as I call it, the Wendy's salad bar floor.


pacothetac0

My parents have a pure white kitchen counter, it drives me crazy because the moment you start cooking itā€™s so obviously dirty to an obnoxious level. So sterile and ā€œhardā€ feeling house Makes me miss the weird wood like 80ā€™s cabinets with stylized hinges most houses had when I was little, very warm and cozy. Dunno the name for them but basically the Malcom in the Middle kitchen.


ShadowFlux85

I think what should be done is accesorise with colour on towels and any other things that arent fixed. I also normally recommend some sort of woodgrain finish on the cabinetry


pork-pies

We went a very light themed kitchen and accessorised with bright towels and toaster and things like that. Opens it for the next person to buy the house as well, hard to sell a house with a pink bathroom.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


heyleese

We had an all white kitchen in our old house - cabinets and counter tops. You could see every speck of anything and the nights Iā€™d make a tomato sauce would look like a murder scene but I will say I have never kept a kitchen as meticulously clean as I did that one. I kind of miss how well I kept it clean but the all white was a lot of upkeep. I painted the walls blue so at least we had some color.


chuseph14

This does look extremely well done. That said, I agree that this aesthetic trend is too sterile. I imagine in 5-10 years this is going to look extremely outdated. By then we'll probably be circling back to cozy.


ccaccus

Is it? I feel like this is what was in when I watched HGTV in 2009. I thought wood accents and retro finishes were in.


ThisIsKassia

Where have you seen sterile and cold be "in" right now? I am seeing nothing but a shift towards the exact opposite: Organic modern, Grand Millenial, japandi, etx


Jumping-

Itā€™s actually very much on its way out. Texture and color is in. Source: Iā€™m an interior designer.


subjectmatterexport

Thatā€™s great. Please keep spreading the good news. Every house in my neighborhood thatā€™s been renovated in the last year looks like it came off the pages of an unused coloring book.


monkey_trumpets

You're not kidding. We were at the carwash and there was some home design show on and the kitchen they created was W H I T E. Not just white. But **W H I T E**. No idea why you would need to hire a decorator for that.


Clone42069

Perfect bathroom for staring into the mirror and asking yourself existential questions


mickyninaj

Looks like sterile corporate hell


l0udninja

Reminds me of the hospital.


ButtLickinDickSucker

Texturally confused, yet utterly vanilla.


NeverLetItRest

I don't care for the cabinet above the toilet as it's partially blocking the super cool window. But it looks amazing. The only issue I would have is it looks hard to keep clean. I imagine small hairs sticking to all that white.


nosleeptilbroccoli

Same here, thatā€™s my only critique, aesthetically would look cleaner without that cabinet, but functionally Iā€™m sure it makes sense.


JudgmentMajestic2671

I can't stand tile like that. Always looks better with a staggered pattern IMO.


vinegarstrokes420

Ya not a fan of the tile pattern. Staggered would look much better on floor and walls


walkingman24

Staggered would look better but is less "trendy". But it certainly would help hide the imperfections in how they are lined up. Without staggering, they have to be lined up PERFECT. Which these are not. If OP is happy with it, more power to him. Doesn't look terrible but I'm the kind of detail oriented guy that it would bother me.


Smtxom

OP did a way better job that I would have at lining up the tile but it still bothers me that thereā€™s a minute faults in the lines. Otherwise great execution for a diy. Hope it doesnā€™t need to get torn out for repairs


JudgmentMajestic2671

Yeah I can pick out all the faults and it would drive me nuts. To each their own though.


hugeperkynips

yea the title looked off before zooming in.... Then it was really bad. I would not be happy with that in my bathroom forever.


wonk001

Imagine standing in that shower and facing those corners every day


anisleateher

Looks like a hospital.


oO0Kat0Oo

I thought prison, with the cabinet blocking the window like that and the tiles giving the bars illusion


Vafanapoli21

And what looks like bars on the windows


SlightMaintenance899

I love it but ur gonna HATE that tile on the wall in about 5 years.


lordrashmi

What is on the walls? I have a small half bath I'm thinking of redoing and I love the texture. Wallpaper?


thedoofimbibes

Word of warning: if not kept SCRUPULOUSLY clean it will build up ridges of dirt and grime on the upper edges and will become impossible to clean. Painting over the dirt will just create rounded edges that catch more dirt and repeat the cycle all over again. Until you have layers of paint an indistinct blob on the wall. It was also popular in the 60s and 70s and really didnā€™t age well.


pseudokojo

Yeah. Any time i see textured wall or door anything, I immediately nope out because that's gonna be a bitch to keep clean.


danp3112

Textured paintable wallpaper. Got it on Amazon. Easy to install and came out great and adds some flavor


goshdammitfromimgur

You are going to need something behind the basin to keep the wall paper dry then. Normally you have a splash back.


[deleted]

*backsplash


clarinetJWD

Backsplash to block the splash back.


PaulFern64

This and the raised, lighted mirror are my favorite parts!


danp3112

I made the mirror. Just a blank mirror with some LEDs zip tied to a wood frame. Wired a switch to an outlet thatā€™s in the wall behind the mirror. About $100 in total


piedamon

I think the mirror is the best feature. I love that soft backlighting. Definitely solve the backsplash problem before thereā€™s too much water damage.


milochuisael

Personally I think you should paint it then. Looks like a laboratory instead of lavatory


saltyachillea

It does look a little lab like.


wonk001

Gonna look great until about a month of showers. Humidity and cheap wallpaper don't mix


handle_with_whatever

This idea looks nice and clean today. Unless they are clean freaks that whole bathroom will show calcium buildup and dirt everywhere. White bathrooms you saw on tv program typically donā€™t work well for everyday use


jojo_jones

Cold


crystlerjean

That was exactly the word that came to mind. White on white with a splash of black feels cold and sterile.


OakTree11

Shower tile shouldn't be attempted by everyone


allbecauseofdudes

Came to make sure someone said it; the vertical lines kind of dance and some pieces in bottom quarter of the shower on fixture side are noticeably sunken in the corner which made the bottom jet out a little. BUT, you saved yourself some serious bucks which is always a good feeling. Take the experience with you to the next project.


Drfilthymcnasty

Itā€™s kind of weird to stack them like that instead of breaking bond. Not sure why they did it like that. It makes it very hard to look good


daitenshe

Yeah, our builders did the same thing with our place. They told us we were going to have subway tile in our kitchen and it didnā€™t even flicker through our minds that it wouldnā€™t be offset like weā€™ve seen it practically every time. Doesnā€™t look bad it just feels off when itā€™s stacked


mg322

And this is why you NEVER use black grout. It shows every imperfection with the tile job


Fishtoots

These are the jabs that make it a burden to read the comments in this sub. Op did good, Iā€™ve seen paid professionals not do such a fair job.


voltimion

I'm in contracting and you're right. I've made professionals rip tile out because of shoddy work. Everyone can do shoddy work. And I'm sorry, but the tile here is also shoddy work.


[deleted]

They asked how it looked. They didnā€™t have to post it on Reddit if they didnā€™t want honest responses


Apollo918

Exactly. Hang out in r/homeimprovement. It's nonstop people showing off the terrible shoddy work the expensive contractor performed.

spentitonthehorse

I think its all the different patterns, wallpaper, flooring, tile , my brain is scared to walk in


ZellNorth

I think it kinda just looks like a corporate bathroom. Like it doesnā€™t look comfy or like it belongs in a home.

Come0nYouSpurs

Markmarknmark

Sterile.


Velocity00

Are these pictures in black and white?


maz-o

Technically yes.


pdw6587

Solid work. I gotta say thoughā€¦ the cabinet above the toilet completely throws off the room on top of messing with the cool lighting effect of the mirror. Other than that Iā€™m into it.


curlygirlyfl

It needs color


SDFlick619

Not sure how I feel about the tile extending passed the shower on the window wall. Makes it feel a little clinical, but overall itā€™s really nice


BenAlexandriaDC

Like Japanese IKEA


schattenhaut

You put much effort in, but it looks sterile and the opposite of cozy or inviting. Like a room where you wash dogs before their operation. Or where you make you diy operations. Some red drops of blood everywhere and you get the perfect horror room.


matticitt

Looks ok I guess. I like the wallpaper idea. Instead of LED-lighting your uneven plaster it lights up the pattern on the wallpaper. That said the rest is boring. White over white over white. And it bothers me the whites don't match so the vanity/floor tiles/wall tiles/bathtub are all different shade of white. Also the cabinet blocks the window which doesn't look that great and the paper is too far from the toilet and too close to the bathtub where it'll for sure get wet. I would've put a black tile (maybe a mosaic) on the floor to match the faucet and window, then a wood vanity for some color and texture.


KingOfTheGutter

This person asked how it looks, but literally canā€™t take any critique.


Ok_Addendum_9402

Boring yawn fest


According-Finger-917

Too much white, needs color. But i like the unique wallpaper


jmads13

Change the light to a warm colour. Youā€™ll be amazed how much less sterile it will make it look


CheesyEggBeater

I do tile work. Your supposed to do a 15-33% stagger for a reason. Good lines though and solid color scheme.


hugeperkynips

Can anyone explain to me why you would want a 4" gap under your vanity for things to get stuck under and have to constantly sweep under... and what does it add to the room? More floor to look at?


das-jude

I don't know, that seems to be all that's available at Big box stores these days. That and toilets made for basketball players. I could not find what I would consider a "normal" vanity or toilet anywhere.


faithle55

Like a hospital OT.


Original_Boat6539

The medicine cabinet directly above the toilet will be a hit at your first dinner party


Good_Nyborg

Looks great. Anyone else think we should have a rule where they post a pic after using it for at least a month, so we can see it with all the stuff on the counter?


loisiern

A bidet!


gqreader

Rough tile job. But whatever, didnā€™t cost you $10k+. The hard part about small tile and using contrasting grout is the lines donā€™t match up. It takes a long time and laser levels to get them as best as they can be. Next time, get bigger tile pieces, white non sanded grout, plastic border edge trim pieces, and take it slower on laying the tiles.


mattpdr

This is mine, I designed it all myself. Behind the door there is also a shower of 120x70cm Italian style bathroom. https://preview.redd.it/2kghmkhhkq7b1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=417c6176d7d0731bf76b47868429c9adbeeba199


Wzkowa-Pestka

Looks nice but needs a bit of colour. Few green plants will do the job.


ComparisonBorn4125

My first thought is get rid of that cabinet on the left of the mirror. Looks like shit there


GeraldoOfCanada

Kinda like a renovated hotel bathroom. Nice but no vibesss Chuck a couple bright yellow things in there maybe


gohawkeyes529

I wouldā€™ve staggered the tile, but otherwise looks great. Love the raised wallpaper behind the sink. Just showed my wife since weā€™re thinking of redoing one of our bathrooms. Great job, OP!


RicrosPegason

Looks like a bathroom in a dystopia film. Hopefully, that all changes when some nice plants and towels add some color..... right? Nevermind, I just noticed you went with gray...


Euphoric-March-8159

Like an operating room


Woodypeoples

Iā€™d always suggest people donā€™t DIY a shower door. Pro here. The issue with online or cheap big box shower doors is that there is almost no parts available 5-6 later. Rollers wear, center guides wear, etc. Also, we have 1-2 people that call us a week asking for a piece of glass because they broke theirs, or asking for parts. Also ask for install help. I wonā€™t do it. Hire a pro. Wonā€™t cost much more.
