The new curbless shower with a custom half-inch-thick frameless glass enclosure gives the room a light and airy feel. “The shower they had before wasn’t curbless,” Brien says. “All the fixtures were quite a bit lower. The husband is 6 foot, 5 inches and the wife is about 5 foot, 3 inches, so we have the handheld shower significantly lowered for her and the shower head higher for him. Previously, they also didn’t have any shampoo niches or that footrest.” The solid brass fixtures are in a satin bronze finish that adds warmth and coordinates with other finishes in the room.
The same tiles used for the backsplash wrap the upper portion of the walls. Below ¾-inch step molding are 12-by-24-inch Mystery White marble tiles. “The Mystery White happens to be really well-priced and has some warmth running through it,” Brien says. “That warmth coordinates with the warmth you see in the Taj Mahal.”
The pale beige hexagonal stone floor tile continues seamlessly into the shower. “The walls are neutral, so I wanted to mix up the textures and materials to add more interest and depth,” Brien says.

NV Kitchen and Bath included a large curbless shower in this Warrenton, Virginia, en suite bathroom for a homeowner with a walker. The 84-inch-wide shower has a built-in bench, grab bars and a 42-inch-wide opening, as well as a linear drain between the main bathroom floor and shower floor to keep the water contained. A custom tempered glass enclosure also prevents water from splashing into the rest of the bathroom. A rear shower wall has 12-by-24-inch slate-colored porcelain tiles, while the shower floor features 2-by-2-inch slate-colored mosaic tiles that create a nonslip surface. The bathroom floor and the two shower side walls are the same size porcelain tile in a nonslip finish with brown and black veining on a white background.
