Bathroom Remodel · Miami Shores, FL 33138
Crisp white stone-look walls, one bold stripe of sea-blue glass, and a double vanity built for two.
Project Overview
Miami Shores is known for its tree-lined streets and established homes. In an older house, a bathroom remodel like this one is a chance to bring in a walk-in shower, better storage and brighter finishes while keeping a calm, classic feel that suits the neighborhood.
MIA Remodeling builds bathrooms throughout northeast Miami-Dade, including Miami Shores, North Miami, Miami Springs and Aventura. Learn more about our bathroom remodeling work, or book a design visit to talk through your space.
A closer look at the choices that shape this Miami Shores bathroom remodel.
Instead of covering a whole wall in color, this design runs one tall band of glass tile through the shower. The rectangles are set in a herringbone pattern, so the zigzag carries your eye from the floor all the way up. The rest of the shower stays in large white tiles with soft gray veining, which makes the blue look even brighter.
Glass has a glossy, slightly see-through look that catches light differently from the matte white tile around it. In a shower, that shimmer reads like water. Using it as a single stripe keeps the cost of a specialty tile focused where it makes the most impact.
No more taking turns at the sink. The vanity holds two undermount sinks under a white quartz top, each with its own chrome faucet. The cabinet below is a deep slate blue that echoes the glass tile in the shower, with drawers and doors finished in brass bar pulls and knobs.
This shower uses a sliding panel, which is a smart pick when space in front of the shower is tight. Here's how it compares with a hinged door.

Our Process
Every MIA bathroom follows the same clear process, so you always know what is next.
In your home or virtually, we talk through how you use the space and what you want to change.
See your new bathroom before any work starts, and adjust tile, vanity and layout until it is right.
Everything is written out up front, so there are no surprise invoices.
As a licensed general contractor (CGC1535875) and plumbing contractor (CFC1434602), we pull the permits and schedule the inspections.
Demolition, plumbing, tile, glass and finishes are managed in-house.
We review every detail with you before we call it done.
FAQs
Glass tile is glossy and reflects light, so even a narrow band of it feels bright and lively. It's also non-porous, which makes it easy to wipe clean. Using it as an accent puts a premium material exactly where it gets noticed.
If two people get ready at the same time, yes. Two sinks and a split counter mean less waiting and less clutter on one side. It does need enough wall length, so we check the measurements early in design.
Yes. Chrome on the plumbing and brass on the cabinet is a popular mix. Keep each finish consistent within its group, all faucets in one finish and all pulls in the other, and the combination looks intentional.
It's a fixed shower head and a handheld sprayer that share one mounting bracket. You can use either one or, on many models, both at once. The handheld makes rinsing the shower and washing kids or pets much easier.
Small mosaic tiles have many grout lines, which gives your feet more grip on a wet floor. They also bend easily to follow the slope toward the drain, which is why they're a classic choice for shower floors.
Work on plumbing, electrical or walls generally goes through the Village of Miami Shores building department for permits and inspections. MIA holds both a general contractor license (CGC1535875) and a plumbing contractor license (CFC1434602), and our team handles the filings and inspection scheduling.
A stripe of glass tile, a bold vanity color or a patterned floor: one great detail can define the whole room. Tell us which one you love and we'll map the rest of the room around it in a 3D preview.
