Bright Bathroom With a Freestanding Tub and Walk-In Shower

Choosing a bathroom color scheme can be a challenge, especially when it comes to complementary fixtures and details. For modern simplicity, consider opting for an all-white design with black shower fixtures. The simple, clean approach creates an inviting space to relax, whether refreshing before bed or preparing to start a new day.

Weave a Walk-In Shower Into the Overall Bathroom Design
