One ranch-style home in San Francisco ran the gamut of issues: small spaces, outdated materials and bathrooms unfit for small children. Designer Nina Jizhar of San Francisco-based Nina Jizhar Design stepped in to resolve the problems of two bathrooms in particular. Photography by Lauren Edith Andersen, www.laurenedith.com

“I selected materials for the shower with a linear pattern or brush stroke, and in neutral palettes it really adds visual interest, almost like a work of art,” said Jizhar. Photography by Lauren Edith Andersen, www.laurenedith.com

The children’s bathroom off the hall not only had a similarly
small space, but also had a shallow tub and an issue with cleanliness.

make it easier to clean and to brighten the space. Photography by Lauren Edith Andersen, www.laurenedith.com
