Brass Drain Mosaic Shower

Glossy white tile stacked vertically on the shower walls, with a white-and-gray mosaic on the floor and a square brass drain at the center. The wavy surface of the wall tile catches light unevenly and gives the room a soft texture.

What to look at

The drain is the focal point, so the pan is formed to slope evenly from all four sides to a single point. The mosaic follows that slope without ridges. The square drain cover sits exactly flush with the tile around it. On the walls, the vertical stack means every joint runs straight to the ceiling, and a laser line was used to keep them plumb.

How work like this is set

Small tiles mean many grout joints, and that is useful on a sloped shower floor because the joints follow the pitch to the drain. The mosaic is pressed into thinset until it is fully bedded, the joints are filled completely and cleaned before they set, and a sealer goes on once the grout has cured.

If you want something similar

If you want a shower like this, start with the structure: the pan, the curb and the walls behind the tile. Then choose the tile, the niche location and the fixtures.
