The bathroom is not only a utilitarian space, it’s one of peace, quiet and luxury. Over the years the bathroom has become more and more spa-like.
You spend a lot of time in the bathroom getting ready for the day, relaxing and it’s normally the last room you visit before turning in for the night. Why not make it spectacular? Let’s take a look at this year’s hot new trends.
A splash of color
According to HGTV, neutral shades such as taupe, cream and beige have always been popular color choices for the bathroom because they fit into whatever theme you have in the bathroom, it’s easily maintained and can make your bathroom feel more open and spacious. But these safe colors are giving way to bolder palettes that create a cheerful, fun place to wake up to every morning. This year, expect to see bright, fun colors as well as soothing pastels in the bathroom.
Fabulous Faucets
Right now oil rubbed bronze faucets are trending. Yes, bronze is back in a big way. Antique oiled bronze gives your fixtures a vintage, yet classy feel. Remember it is also okay to mix metals.
The Spa
One of the hottest trends of the 2013 bathroom redesign is the creation of the in-house spa. Recreate that spa feel with numerous shower heads, steam elements, and even electronic sensor panels which handle mood lighting. You can also install LED lights above your bathtub to set a spa-like mood.
Don’t forget accessories
Coordinate your towel bars, robe hooks, soap dishes and your toothbrush holders. White plush towels are the best choice especially in your guest bath. This gives a simple, yet clean feel to your bathroom. You can bring in color through adding art pieces or as mentioned above, add splashes of color to your walls.
Bold statement tiles
Tiles with large graphic prints or other designs and mosaic tiles are gaining popularity. Consider installing a tile accent wall or backsplash behind the sink. This is easier and much less expensive and doing the whole bathroom head to toe in tile.
