Larger tiles. Simple, clean design. Also easier to clean.

Interesting pop of color and I like the corner bench and niche.

Q

Seamless stone and minimalist wall-mounted faucets are easy to clean.

Q

Wall-mounted faucets are a better choice than deck-mounted ones. Gravity is working for you, carrying water and soap residue away from the faucet instead of having it all collect at the base. Wall-mounted faucets also keep the counter clear, making it easier to wipe it down.

Q

Look at Wall-Mounted options first. If you choose not to install a wall-mounted toilet, then at the very least, choose a skirted model. The smooth sides don't catch as much dust and gunk.

Q

Go frameless. The aluminum frames around glass shower doors are a magnet for gunk. Going frameless on your glass gives you a simple sheet to squeegee clean. There are a number of options for coatings on glass that also help it to repel water and soap scum. Check with your glass shower door manufacturer for factory coating options. Many people recommend manually applied water repellants like Rain-X

Q

The handheld showerhead lets you hose it down and go. In fact, handheld showerheads are a real help in cleaning your shower even if you have a more conventional-style bathroom. Get one with a nice long hose.

Q

Select a linear drain. See that narrow channel at the base of the wall? That's a linear drain. Installing one means that your shower floor will have a flat slope in one direction, so you can run your large-format floor tile right on into the shower instead of using little mosaic tiles to accommodate multiple directions of slope. It will set you back around $1,000, but ask yourself how much you hate cleaning grout.

Q

Large-format porcelain tiles come in sizes all the way up to 24 inches by 48 inches. I had a little fun with the math. If you use a single 24-inch-by-48-inch tile instead of 4-inch-by-4-inch tiles covering the same area, you eliminate 42 feet of grout lines!
