Real People, Real Projects: Olivia Hail Designs' Dramatic Blue Bathroom

The Space Before

With a corner bathtub limiting the available space, Sheila knew the first order of business was making the [bathroom](https://www.flooranddecor.com/explore-bathrooms?tab=icon-filter-tabs-1) appear and feel more open. By removing the partitioned design of the original bathtub and [shower](https://www.flooranddecor.com/explore-showers?tab=icon-filter-tabs-1), she optimized the functionality of the space by opting for a wet room setup with a glass [shower door](https://www.flooranddecor.com/explore-showers?prefn1=productSubtype&prefv1=Shower+Doors&tab=icon-filter-tabs-6). This sleek choice gave more visibility to the floors and wall for a textbook example of how to make the most of the space you have.

The Style After

To emphasize the new-found space in the wet room, Sheila opted for blue [large format tile](https://www.flooranddecor.com/large-format-tile-tile) on the shower walls. Her choice for minimal wall grout lines combined with the marble-look hexagon [shower floor](https://www.flooranddecor.com/explore-showers?prefn2=showerFloor&prefv2=Suitable+for+Shower+Floors&tab=icon-filter-tabs-1) tile culminated in a flourish of functional and showstopping modern style.
