6. Plan your fixture selection to suit the space. A basic master bathroom needs hot and cold water, a sink, a shower and a toilet. If space in your en suite bathroom is tight, it makes sense to choose fixtures that will make it feel bigger. By choosing a wall-mounted toilet and vanity instead of floor-mounted ones, you will maximize floor space. Then consider installing faucets on the wall rather than the sink and a shower head on the ceiling rather than on the wall to keep surfaces clutter-free. A frameless glass shower screen is the perfect finishing touch, since this will provide an unimpeded view through the bathroom, making the room feel more spacious.
1. Assess how much space you have. There are no fixed rules regarding how big a master bathroom should be, but the latest trends suggest that they are getting bigger and more luxurious. These new luxury en suites, which often occupy an entire room adjoining the bedroom, are being designed as sumptuous retreats for more than one person to use at a time. They often boast double walk-in showers, two sinks, partitioned areas for a toilet and maybe even a bidet, dressing areas, and somewhere to sit and chat. Many also feature entertainment facilities, such as televisions and sound systems. Potential cost: A luxury en suite bathroom can cost $30,000 to $40,000.Size: It can be the size of a small bedroom, about 34 square feet or larger.
13. Built-In OutletsMany homeowners are opting for the convenience of hidden outlets in drawers, whether for charging stations, electric shavers or hair appliances like you see here. Notable detail: They painted the inside of the drawers to match the outside.
12. Wet-Room StyleMany Americans still fear the splash of a wet room, a strategy our European friends are much more used to employing in tight bathrooms. This clever design has the best of both worlds: The shower can remain open to the rest of the room for an airy feel, but a shower curtain is hiding behind the wall next to the vanity, its rod unobtrusively tucked right up next to the ceiling.Notable detail: That hunky, chunky block of a vanity makes a strong impact.See more compact wet-room designs
14. All AglowBacklit bathroom mirrors create a pleasing glow when you’re entering the bathroom in the middle of the night. This design takes the glow to another whole layer: backlit floating panels behind the backlit mirrors. Notable detail: The thick concrete counter trend seemed to gain steam in 2017.

Abrasion resistance: A tile’s ability to withstand foot traffic and friction. The Porcelain Enamel Institute’s abrasion scale goes from 0 (not recommended for floors) to 5 (heavy commercial) to help you determine how well a tile will wear. Absorption: The amount of moisture a tile absorbs, expressed as a percentage. Vitrified porcelain rates low (less than 0.5 percent), semivitrified tiles absorb 3 to 6 percent, and standard glazed wall tiles absorb 10 to 20 percent. This figure dictates where tiles should be used and affects their durability with temperature fluctuations.
