Gold-Veined Shower and Cane Vanity Bathroom in Santa Monica

How This Bathroom Turned Out

This Santa Monica bathroom pairs soft white stone-look tile with dramatic gold-and-brown veined marble-look slabs on the shower jambs, curb, and bench. The walk-in shower has a recessed niche, a mosaic floor, and an exposed brushed gold shower system with a rain head and a handheld. A wood vanity with woven cane doors carries a white top and a gold faucet, under a gold-framed mirror and sconce. Built-in open shelves and a smart toilet complete the room.

Why Bold Veining Works in Small Doses

A fully veined shower can feel heavy. Here the bold slab is saved for the edges: the jambs, the curb, and the bench. That frames the shower like a picture, while the quieter square tile fills the walls. The brushed gold fixtures pick up the warm tones in the veining, and the cane vanity adds a relaxed, coastal texture that suits a Santa Monica home. It is a simple rule that works in almost any bath, and one our bathroom remodelers use often.

How We Run Your Bathroom Remodel

Every bathroom remodel in Santa Monica starts with a free consultation about your space, your style, and your budget. We then handle design, permits, and the build, from the shower pan to the last shelf. On a job like this one, the slab pieces on the jambs, curb, and bench are measured and cut so the veining flows around the corners, and the smart toilet gets a dedicated outlet planned in before the walls close up.

Bathroom Remodel in Santa Monica: Common Questions

How much does a bathroom remodel in Santa Monica cost?

The size of the room, the shower build, and your finish choices set the range. Our bathroom remodeling in Los Angeles article explains what drives cost.

Is marble-look porcelain a good choice for a shower?

Yes. It gives you the look of veined stone with less upkeep, since it does not need regular sealing the way natural marble does. It also holds up well on benches and curbs.

Does a cane vanity hold up in a bathroom?

It does with a sealed wood frame, a solid top, and a good exhaust fan to control humidity. Keep the cane panels away from direct splashes, as this layout does.

What do I need for a smart toilet?

Mainly an electrical outlet near the toilet, ideally on its own circuit. We plan it in early so the cord and outlet stay neat and out of the way.

Do I need a permit for this kind of remodel?

Usually yes, if plumbing, electrical, or the layout changes. We handle the drawings, the city submittals, and the inspections.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Most take several weeks once demo starts, plus design and permit time. Custom-cut slab pieces can add a little lead time, so we order them early.

How do I choose a bathroom remodeling company?

Check licensing and insurance, ask to see finished work, and get a clear written scope. Our list of the best bathroom remodeling companies in Los Angeles can help you compare.
