# 6 Unique Chicago Bathroom Remodeling Ideas to Consider

[Ron Nanberg](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/author/ron-nanberg) | Mon, Jul 6, 2015 | [Bathroom Remodeling](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/topic/bathroom-remodeling)

There are two types of Chicago bathroom remodeling ideas: the ones that enhance your bathroom's flow and function and the unique "extras" that help to personalize your design and set it apart from the rest. Today, we're going to talk about six unique bathroom remodeling ideas or features that [Kitchens & Baths Unlimited](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/) used in recent designs.

# **6 Unique Ideas To Give Your Bathroom Remodel Personalized Style**

None of these ideas is particularly expensive or highly technical, yet each provides a bit of personalized style and some visual *va va voom*.

1. **![Glass vessel sink](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hs-fs/file-2561802142-jpg/Gallery/Album/10879/PinzurWeb4.jpg?width=450&name=PinzurWeb4.jpg "Glass vessel sink")Glass Vessel Sinks**. Vessel sinks are a nice touch on their own, providing extra depth, dimension and possibly even texture depending on the sink you select. A glass sink goes the extra mile because the sheer material doesn't block the view of the countertop or backsplash tile work. Glass vessel sinks are sleek and work best in [transitional or contemporary bathroom designs](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/what-does-a-transitional-chicago-bathroom-remodel-look-like).
2. **![Curved wall and door-free shower](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hs-fs/file-1247888568-jpg/Gallery/Album/10879/a_bath14.jpg?width=335&name=a_bath14.jpg "Curved wall and door-free shower")Door-Free Shower With a Curved Wall**. If your bathroom is spacious enough, ditch the idea of a traditional shower door and use a curved wall and a completely open shower space. They are a very chic way to achieve [an accessible shower space](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/bid/387955/Universal-Accessible-Bathroom-Design-Ideas) as well.
3. **![Textured metal tiles for accent wall](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hs-fs/file-830911383-jpg/Gallery/Album/10879/futtermanweb.jpg?width=335&name=futtermanweb.jpg "Textured metal tiles for accent wall")Textured Metal Tiles.** Metallic accents are popular in both kitchens and bathroom spaces. You can add a textured metal tile accent wall behind your vanity, around the commode or as part of your sit-down vanity space. If the idea of a full wall is a little too shiny or bold for you, consider using metal tiles as accent pieces in your backsplash or behind the tub faucet.
4. **![Trayed ceilings](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hs-fs/file-1247888713-jpg/Gallery/Album/10879/bathroom4.jpg?width=450&name=bathroom4.jpg "Trayed ceilings")Tray Ceilings**. A tray ceiling adds a regal accent to a bathroom space and can help to [make a small bathroom seem larger](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/bid/297339/Bathroom-Renovation-Making-Small-Bathrooms-Look-Bigger). You can use the interior of the tray ceiling cut-out to highlight an accent color or to showcase a beautiful light fixture. The edge of the cut-out can be further showcased using crown moulding or other decorative trim pieces.
5. **![Backsplash isn't just for the kitchen](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hs-fs/file-1247888638-jpg/Gallery/Album/10879/a_bath5.jpg?width=336&name=a_bath5.jpg "Backsplash isn't just for the kitchen")Work that backsplash**. Backsplashes aren't just for kitchens, you know. Work with your kitchen designer to create a stylish backsplash that can add a beautiful focal point to your bathroom. This can be especially beneficial in hall or powder room designs where typical focuses - like shower tile work or a freestanding bathtub - aren't available. Prefabricated mosaic sheets keep labor costs down while providing very artistic effects.
6. **![Adding glass to your shower walls](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/hs-fs/file-450962898-jpg/Gallery/Album/10879/bathroom91.jpg?width=335&name=bathroom91.jpg "Adding glass to your shower walls")Add glass to your shower wall.** Adding glass to your shower wall has a two-fold benefit. First, it's a cool accent in its own right. Glass blocks can be used individually in groups, depending on the design you select. The second benefit is light. [Glass allows light to pass through](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/blog/3-ways-to-use-natural-light-in-your-chicago-kitchen-bath-remodel) from one side of the wall to the other, keeping your bathroom and/or shower space from feeling cave-like during daylight hours. In this shower, open spaces and glass shelving doubled up as a display case as well.

Schedule a consultation with [Kitchens & Baths Unlimited](https://www.kitchensbathsunlimited.com/chicago-north-shore-kitchen-bath-design-home-remodeling) to begin brainstorming unique Chicago bathroom remodeling ideas for your upcoming project.
