An old house bathroom remodel with light tile and dark wood
This old house bathroom remodel in Mercer Island, Washington, pairs a tiled bathtub and shower with dark wood vanity cabinetry. Bezruchuk Inc. completed the room with a light finish palette, recessed bathing storage and chrome fixtures.
The vanity and tub face one another across the bathroom. A short partition separates the tub from the toilet area, where a window brings daylight into the room. The photographs show these spaces together as well as the smaller details at the sink and shower.
The strongest contrast comes from the cabinetry. Its dark wood grain and matching mirror frames give definition to a room otherwise finished in white and light neutral tones.
A bathroom remodel with a tub-and-shower combination
The white bathtub sits within a tall tiled surround. A round chrome shower head is mounted overhead, with wall controls and a tub spout below. This arrangement brings bathing and showering into the same part of the room.
The light tile extends high around the tub, framing the fittings against a quiet, speckled background. The straight tub edge and rectangular tile joints keep the bathing area visually simple.
A portrait view from the doorway shows how the tub relates to the vanity opposite. Another angle looks toward the window and toilet area beyond the tiled partition.
A speckled bathtub tile surround with recessed storage
The bathtub tile surround has a light beige base with scattered darker flecks. The same speckled appearance continues across the floor and along the vanity backsplash, connecting the bathing and washing areas.
A recessed niche provides two stacked storage levels within the tiled wall. Its shelf divides the opening into smaller compartments, giving bathing products a defined place without adding a projecting basket to the surround.
Because the niche follows the surrounding tile palette, it reads as part of the wall. The close and wider photographs in the gallery show both the shelf detail and its position above the tub.
Dark wood cabinetry with a bright countertop
The vanity combines dark wood-grain doors and drawers with a white countertop. Slim metal pulls repeat the metallic finish of the nearby fittings, while wood-framed mirrors carry the cabinet color onto the wall.
At the sink, an arched chrome faucet is paired with separate lever handles. The white basin and counter create a bright foreground against the darker mirror frame and the speckled backsplash.
This combination keeps the room’s materials consistent without making every surface the same color. The tile provides a light background, the cabinetry introduces a deeper wood tone, and the chrome fixtures add a reflective finish.
