Watch the Complete Transformation
See this Phoenix/Ahwatukee hall bathroom transform from a dated tub/shower combo to a bright, modern walk-in shower. This video showcases the large-format tile installation, grey shaker vanity, quartz countertop, frameless glass door, upgraded lighting, and all the thoughtful details that create this contemporary space.
Project Overview
This hall bathroom in the Ahwatukee/Phoenix area received a complete modern makeover—turning a dated tub/shower combo into a spacious and stylish walk-in shower that better serves the homeowners’ daily needs while creating a brighter, more contemporary space.
We replaced the tub surround with sleek 12×24 large-format tile, creating clean lines and a spa-like feel. The larger tile format minimizes grout lines for easier maintenance while delivering the sophisticated aesthetics that define modern bathrooms. This same 12×24 tile extends to the floor, creating cohesive, seamless appearance throughout the bathroom that makes the space feel larger and more intentional.
A new grey shaker vanity with a 2cm white quartz countertop adds timeless elegance and practical durability. The grey cabinetry provides contemporary warmth while the white quartz surface delivers bright, stain-resistant functionality perfect for busy hall bathrooms. Upgraded lighting and a beveled-edge mirror enhance both functionality and aesthetics, ensuring proper illumination for daily grooming tasks while adding refined design detail.
To improve comfort and functionality, we added power for a bidet seat—a forward-thinking detail that provides luxury and convenience while requiring minimal additional investment during electrical work. The 3/8-inch frameless glass shower door delivers sleek modern finish with substantial quality, creating an open feel that makes the bathroom appear larger while providing easy cleaning without metal frames that collect soap scum.
This remodel delivers comfort, durability, and clean modern style—built for everyday use and long-term value. At Mustache Approved Remodeling, we combine design, craftsmanship, and performance to create spaces you’ll love for years.

Why This Design Works for Phoenix Hall Bathrooms
Using the same 12×24 tile on both walls and floors creates visual continuity that makes bathrooms feel larger and more cohesive. Rather than introducing multiple tile patterns or sizes (which can fragment visual space), matching tile throughout creates seamless appearance that simplifies the design while delivering sophisticated results. This approach works particularly well in hall bathrooms where space efficiency matters—unified surfaces prevent the choppy look that mixed materials can create.
Grey shaker vanities represent the sweet spot for contemporary hall bathrooms serving families and guests. Pure white shows every fingerprint and water spot, while very dark finishes can feel heavy in compact spaces. Grey provides modern sophistication with practical benefits—it hides minor wear while maintaining brighter appearance than dark colors. The shaker styling ensures the design won’t look dated as trends evolve, protecting long-term value in ways trendy styles cannot.
Frameless glass shower doors deliver both aesthetic and practical advantages. The absence of metal framing creates cleaner visual lines and makes bathrooms feel more open—the glass seems to disappear rather than creating visual barriers. Practically, frameless doors eliminate the metal tracks and channels where soap scum accumulates with framed doors, reducing cleaning effort. The 3/8-inch thickness provides substantial quality that feels premium in daily use.
Adding bidet power during renovations represents smart infrastructure planning. While not everyone uses bidet seats currently, they’re growing rapidly in popularity for hygiene benefits, water conservation, and luxury experience. Installing electrical during remodeling costs minimal additional investment but provides valuable flexibility for current use or future upgrades—infrastructure that would require drywall work and tile damage to add later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use the same tile on walls and floors?
Using matching tile on walls and floors offers several advantages: creates visual continuity that makes spaces feel larger, simplifies design with cohesive appearance, reduces decision fatigue (one tile selection instead of multiple), and often costs less (bulk ordering single tile type). This approach works particularly well with large-format tile where the uniform surface creates seamless, sophisticated appearance.
What makes frameless glass shower doors better than framed?
Frameless glass doors provide cleaner visual lines and modern appearance, make bathrooms feel more open and spacious, eliminate metal tracks where soap scum accumulates, offer easier cleaning with fewer components, and deliver premium quality feel. The 3/8-inch glass thickness provides substantial durability while maintaining sleek styling. Framed doors cost less initially but frameless doors offer better long-term aesthetics and maintenance.
Is grey a good color for bathroom vanities?
Grey vanities offer ideal balance for bathrooms: hides fingerprints and water spots better than white, feels less heavy than dark espresso or black, coordinates with both warm and cool color schemes, provides contemporary styling with broad appeal, and works across design styles from traditional to modern. Grey represents the “Goldilocks” color—not too light, not too dark, just right for most bathrooms.
Should I add bidet power even if I don’t have a bidet?
Yes! Adding electrical outlet during renovation costs minimal extra but provides valuable future flexibility. Benefits include enables bidet seat installation (current or future use), adds modern convenience and hygiene option, increases home value, and avoids expensive retrofit work later. Even if you never install a bidet, the outlet can serve other purposes (nightlights, air fresheners, phone charging).
