If you have been thinking about remodeling your bathroom, there is no better time to make the plunge! Current bathroom trends are classic and functional. Gone are the restricting bathrooms of the past, in are simple color schemes, spacious and functional showers and fun tile designs!
Here are the top three trends to consider for your bathroom remodel this year:
- Simplified Color Schemes
The colorful tile with matching sinks are a things of the past. No more bright colors on permanent features in your bathroom. The biggest color trend this year? Classic Black and White.
Pair a classic white sink with a gorgeous marbled quartz countertop and you have a classic foundation to build on for years to come. Quartz is the favorite counter material now. It looks like stone but it’s man-made so it doesn’t have all the maintenance you have with stone.
Forget about combing through many different tiles and colors in your bathroom. Stick to one hue and create a stunning interior. When going for a chic monochrome look, consider adding depth through different textures and simple patterns.
- It’s all about the shower
In theory: it is nice to have a large bathtub, but when was the last time you really used it? In general, most people use the shower on a daily basis. So, why are showers to small and crowded? It is time to give the shower the spotlight!
When looking to remodel your bathroom, consider some of these innovative ideas for your shower:
- NO SHOWER DOORS! By creating a large shower area with the shower head a good distance from the entrance, you don’t need to worry about squeezing yourself past the door to get in or our of the shower. Plus: one less thing to clean!
- Double Shower heads: you can shower with your partner at the same time without having to wait your turn or get cold waiting!
- Consider including a skylight above the shower. This will certainly cast a natural spotlight on the luxurious space.
- Combine the shower and bath! Instead of a cramped tub with a showerhead and shower curtains, install a glass divider to enclose both a full shower and tub. It’s a wonderful solution for those who like maximizing practicality and convenience.
- Barrier free showers create an elegant option for those with mobility challenges.
- Make a statement with TILE
While keeping color schemes simple, the place to make a statement is with the TILE. There are quite a few fun and exciting options for what you can do with the tile, below are just a few!
- If you love the look of classic ceramic subway tiles, a new way to install this traditional home staple by giving them a unique tile layout! You can create a herringbone shower wall and/or break things up with a mosaic inset.
- Since wood can swell and shrink in an uncontrolled environment, wood-look tiles are a great alternative. You can pull off this popular Scandinavian bathroom trend by installing natural stone veining or patterned porcelain which add the grain of wood. This creates a cozy look without the stress over water damage.
- With a geometric patterned tile you can provide a dramatically dimensional look to your bathroom, which will make designing an intriguing bathroom easy.
- Mosaic tiles make excellent shower floors and floors prone to moisture thanks to their durability, heat and moisture-resistance, and more grout lines for a more slip-resistant tile flooring option.
- Detailed and multi-paned tiles add interest to clean and minimal bathrooms. But that’s not where they end. Bathroom tile trends can fit a range of styles – and make quite the feature paired with a light scheme and contemporary finishes.
- Chevron tiles have made a comeback, but with a twist. This time the pattern pushes the boundaries with different colored ceramics, stone, or glass.
