Hall Bath Remodel With Tile Shower, Wood-Look Floor & Quartz
📍 Location: Tempe, Arizona
🏠 Project Type: Hall Bathroom – Complete Remodel
⏱️ Timeline: 2 weeks
📅 Completed: 2024
Project Overview
This hall bathroom remodel in Tempe, Arizona marked our second project in the same home—continuing the cohesive design from the master bath we had completed previously. Our team used many of the same high-end materials to create a unified, modern aesthetic throughout the residence, ensuring both bathrooms feel intentionally coordinated rather than mismatched.
The shower walls feature 12×24 large-format porcelain tile in a clean, contemporary layout that minimizes grout lines and creates a seamless, sophisticated appearance. For the flooring, we installed 6×24 wood-look plank tiles that add warmth and texture while providing the waterproof durability that porcelain delivers. The wood-look flooring prevents the bathroom from feeling cold or sterile—a common challenge with all-tile bathrooms.
We also incorporated a dedicated power source near the toilet to accommodate a bidet seat—an elegant and functional upgrade that’s becoming increasingly popular in modern bathrooms. This forward-thinking detail adds both luxury and practical value while requiring minimal additional investment during the remodel when electrical work is already happening.
A new shaker-style vanity with a white quartz countertop provides durability and timeless appeal, while a Johnny cabinet (over-the-toilet storage cabinet) enhances storage without compromising on style. The result is a bright, efficient, and well-balanced bathroom that maximizes every inch of space—finished with Mustache Approved craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Why This Design Works for Tempe Hall Bathrooms
Coordinating materials between multiple bathrooms in the same home creates intentional design cohesion that elevates the entire property. Rather than treating each bathroom as an isolated project with different styles and materials, using the same tile selections, similar cabinetry styling, and consistent fixtures creates a unified aesthetic that feels professionally designed. This approach particularly benefits homes where bathrooms are visible from shared spaces or hallways.
The combination of large-format tile in the shower with wood-look plank flooring demonstrates smart material selection for different zones. Large-format tile works beautifully in vertical shower applications where fewer grout lines create cleaner appearance and easier maintenance. Wood-look planks on the floor add warmth and character while maintaining the waterproof durability essential for bathroom environments. This thoughtful pairing delivers both practical performance and sophisticated aesthetics.
Including a dedicated electrical outlet for bidet seats represents forward-thinking planning. While not everyone uses bidet seats currently, they’re growing rapidly in popularity for their hygiene benefits, water conservation, and luxury experience. Adding electrical during a remodel costs minimal additional investment but provides valuable flexibility for current use or future upgrades. This type of strategic infrastructure planning adds long-term value.
Johnny cabinets (over-toilet storage units) solve a common hall bathroom challenge—limited storage space. Unlike master bathrooms with double vanities and linen closets, hall bathrooms typically have minimal cabinetry. The vertical space above toilets usually goes unused, making it perfect for storage cabinets that keep towels, toiletries, and supplies organized without consuming floor space. This maximizes functionality in compact footprints typical of hall bathrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use the same materials in multiple bathrooms?
Using coordinated (not necessarily identical) materials across multiple bathrooms creates unified design aesthetic, can provide cost efficiencies through bulk ordering, simplifies decision-making with fewer selections, and creates professional, intentional appearance. You might use the same tile and flooring throughout while varying paint colors, hardware finishes, or cabinetry styles to distinguish master from hall bathrooms.
What is a Johnny cabinet and is it worth it?
A Johnny cabinet (also called over-toilet cabinet or bathroom etagere) is a storage unit that sits above the toilet, utilizing vertical space. Benefits include maximized storage without floor space, organized towel and toiletry storage, enhanced functionality in compact bathrooms, and coordinated styling when matched to vanity. Particularly valuable in hall bathrooms with limited cabinetry.
Should I add a bidet outlet during my bathroom remodel?
Adding a dedicated electrical outlet near the toilet during remodeling is smart planning. Benefits include minimal cost when electrical work is active, enables bidet seat installation (current or future), adds modern convenience and hygiene, and increases home value. Even if you don’t plan immediate bidet use, the infrastructure provides valuable flexibility.
Is wood-look tile better than real wood for bathroom floors?
For bathrooms, wood-look porcelain tile is superior to real wood. It provides completely waterproof performance (real wood can warp or stain), authentic wood appearance with realistic grain patterns, zero maintenance (no sealing required), and exceptional durability. Modern manufacturing creates such realistic wood-look tile that most people cannot distinguish it from real hardwood while delivering better bathroom performance.
