Use a large-format tile or large porcelain slabs. The larger the tile, the less grout you have to clean. And in the case of large slabs like those you see here, no grout at all. This shower surround looks like Calacatta marble but is actually composed of thin porcelain slabs. “Thin slab porcelain does not require sealing and will retain its polished or honed finish under all types of conditions,” says the designer, Bonnie Bagley Catlin.

Use a shower base instead of tiling the floor. Architectural designer Alison Strickland was not a fan of having to clean grout lines in the shower. So she used a shower base for the floor of her shower stall and designed the space around it. The ledge and the base seen here are made from a material called Krion from Porcelanosa.

How to make a 1000 lb slab of rock disappear. The raised slab hearth makes the massive stone look weightless. Of course, who is looking at the fireplace when that adorable lab is in front of it?

Amy Lau does magic . Again. Midcentury modern style is great on its own or mixed in with more contemporary pieces. Here the furniture is classic midcentury, the room is open, and the designer skipped the kitschy accessories to keep the look from feeling dated.
