Prioritize how you use the shower, tub, vanity and storage before selecting tile and finishes.
Start with how you will use the space
Primary bathrooms in many two-story homes from recent decades include a separate shower and tub to evaluate.
Make a list of what matters most to your household, including comfort, storage, appearance and how often you expect to use the space.
Decide how you use the shower and tub
Think about your current routine and whether you use both fixtures. A large tub may be important to one household and less useful to another. Start with that preference before focusing on finishes.
For a walk-in shower, discuss the layout, entry and storage you want. Inspiration photos can help communicate the look, but your room dimensions and actual needs should guide decisions.
Make the vanity practical
List what you store at the vanity and where clutter gathers. Consider how many people use the room, the counter space they need and the relationship between mirrors and lighting.
A cream vanity or wood-framed mirror can work with several styles. Compare finishes together instead of selecting each item in isolation.
Coordinate tile and room layout
Look at shower tile, tub surrounds and flooring as a group. Samples can show texture and color more clearly than a screen image. Ask about care requirements for the actual materials being considered.
