From stunning shower renos to fabulous kitchen glow-ups, watch these rooms transform from \u201cokay\u201d to oh yay!<\/em> They just might inspire your own before-and-after reveal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This retro bathroom was ready for a reno! Calacatta Gold Hex tile<\/a> and white beadboard around the tub instantly modernize the space, while the large format Social Grey floor tile<\/a> adds a soothing sense of movement and a chic concrete look. @the_daily_diy_official<\/a>\u2019s only regret about this project? That she didn\u2019t do it sooner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring: Marmo Calacatta Gold Matte<\/a>, Calacatta Gold Matte Hex<\/a> and Social Grey<\/a>. Design and photography by @the_daily_diy_official<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n For her built-in bar, @craftiffdiy<\/a> wanted to maintain her neutral color scheme while upping her style game. The checkerboard backsplash\u2014featuring Zellige tiles<\/a> in Alabaster<\/a> and White Gloss<\/a>\u2014is a definite design win! Discover more checkmate designs in our curated checkberboard pairings<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring: Zellige Alabaster Gloss<\/a> and Zellige White Gloss<\/a>. Design and photography by @craftiffdiy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n For her boys\u2019 bathroom, @handmakeshome<\/a> wanted a playful space that felt sophisticated enough to grow with them. This beautiful custom subway layout, featuring Glass tile in Storm<\/a>, White<\/a> and Light Blu<\/a>, strikes the perfect balance between boyish energy and refined style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring: Glass White<\/a>, Glass Storm<\/a>, Glass Light Blu<\/a>, Penny Round Gloss White<\/a> and Penny Round Cloudy<\/a>. Design and photography by @handmakeshome<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The bathroom in @beckybidlen<\/a>\u2019s historic 1894 home needed a lot of TLC! We love this update that blends classic details\u2014like the Basketweave White with Black mosaic floor tile<\/a> and ornate gold mirror\u2014with contemporary features. It\u2019s clear every detail was thoughtfully considered\u2014note the scalloped edge at the bottom of the vanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring: Basketweave Matte White with Black<\/a>. Design and photography by @beckybidlen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This chic bathroom, designed by @homewithid<\/a>, reflects their Mexican heritage. The Marrakesh Blue handmade-look tile<\/a> showcases beautiful shade and surface variation for a unique, handcrafted appearance. Its cool tones add depth that pops against the warm-toned Urban White<\/a> wall and Shade Warm floor tile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring: Marrakesh Blue<\/a>, Urban White Pav<\/a> and Shade Warm<\/a>. Design and photography by @homewithid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n With a new layout and modern updates, @cassandra.noellee<\/a> took her kitchen from \u201cblah\u201d to brilliant! The Villa White Matte subway tile<\/a> backsplash is clean and classic, yet still feels contemporary. Using Desert Sand grout<\/a> creates a low-contrast design that pairs beautifully with the dark wood cabinetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring: Villa White Matte<\/a>. Design and photography by @cassandra.noellee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you believe this villa-inspired patio is in Florida? @shoemakesnew<\/a> completely transformed her backyard into a Mediterranean retreat. The terracotta-look Provenzal Alhama Cotto tile<\/a> features a unique shape reminiscent of the architecture in Alhama de Granada, Spain. Its rich rust color perfectly complements the white-painted brick and stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring: Provenzal Alhama Cotto<\/a>. Design and photography by @shoemakesnew<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In keeping with the character of her historic house, @daryakaras<\/a> wanted her powder bathroom to feel authentically unique. Handcrafted Zellige tiles<\/a> in Shamrock<\/a> and White Gloss<\/a> are installed in vertical stripes along the walls, creating bold, one-of-a-kind design. Paired with large-format Nature Carrara marble-look floor tile<\/a>, this space feels like a boutique hotel\u2014a far cry from the rundown bathroom in the \u201cbefore\u201d picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring: Zellige White Gloss<\/a>, Zellige Shamrock Gloss<\/a> and Nature Carrara<\/a>.

Design and photography by @jessicasmithhomedesign<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This bathroom was literally crumbling, but even on a budget, @modernly_you<\/a> transformed it into a gorgeous, contemporary space. Part of our Tile Under $7<\/a> collection, the Nain Negro large-format floor tile<\/a> features the earthy texture of slate with the durability and easy maintenance of porcelain. The dark tile beautifully complements the honey-colored wood vanity, while the thin black frames around the mirrors provide a subtle visual throughline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring: Nain Negro<\/a>.
