Top Bathroom Remodeling Trends
Here are some of the trends designer are seeing when it comes to today’s bathroom remodels.
Nickel Fixtures
This sleek metal suits many types of fixtures, from faucets to sconces. Available in brushed-satin, matte, and pearl finishes, it matches a variety of settings, including marble and stainless steel.
Wall-Mounted Faucets
This trend is the ultimate in streamlined style. Wall- or mirror-mounted faucets appeal to the desire for clean design without complicated plumbing.
Shimmering Effects
Designers are taking a shine to the array of decorative glass tiles and mosaics on the market and are using them either as an accent or to cover an entire wall. The tiles come in colored, clear, and iridescent finishes. New metallic and mother-of-pearl tiles are also adding a modern look to the bath.
Frameless Glass Shower
The new seamless glass showers with minimal framing complement any bathroom décor. The illusion of pure transparency makes a small bath seem larger.
Classic Subway Tiles
These vintage-style tiles, shaped like bricks and set in a staggered “running bond” fashion, are making a big comeback in kitchens and baths. Many are opting for the black-and-white tiles for a crisp, clean look.
High-Tech Bathing
Convert your shower experience with a steam generator and rain dome. Add even more luxury with an all-purpose shower stack that has multiple heads, body sprays, and adjustable settings. Bathing also borders on the decadent with whirlpool jets, deep soaking overflow tubs, and chroma-therapy color washes. Towel warmers and electric radiant-heat flooring will help to smooth the transition from hot to cold.
