Material & Feature Breakdown

This bathroom features a blend of premium tile materials and modern design details. The primary floor utilizes large format 24x24 inch matte gray porcelain tiles with matching thin gray grout, creating a softly textured concrete look underfoot. Walls and shower walls are finished in slim 3x12 inch charcoal matte ceramic rectangles set in a clean stacked pattern with crisp contrasting thin white grout lines. The striking feature wall and backsplash employ glossy black glass penny round mosaics, bringing a refined, high-gloss accent with fine white grout for enhanced visual pop. Straight and rectified edges offer seamless lines for all tile applications.

The mixture of bold, stacked patterns with retro penny rounds produces a look that’s sleek and timeless. This approach enhances natural light and highlights custom detailing for a perfect blend of functional surface and signature Portland style.
