Trends in Bathroom Design

A bathroom should be a fresh place to start and end your day. There are a few standards that will always be ideal to incorporate in a bathroom remodel, like a double vanity in a master bath, but today’s trends should be considered when updating a bathroom to ensure it will meet your needs and keep its value in the event of resale.

Smart Storage
An organized bathroom is the key to being able to find a bandaid or medicine at a moment’s notice. But, storage units can be boring. To keep your approach fresh, try making your storage look like furniture by putting the units up on unique legs, whether it is the built-in vanity, or a storage unit elsewhere in the room.

Bold Lighting
Accessorize your bathroom through lighting. The perfect pendant lights can frame your mirror perfectly and delineate space in an open-concept bathroom without a wall. If you don’t want to put holes in your ceiling, consider wall sconces for an upscale look.

Enhanced Showers
Increasingly, homeowners are shying away from big soaker tubs, and investing instead in showers. Spa-like amenities, such as body sprays, and rain showerheads relieve stress and are fantastic selling points for resale. Take advantage of the space you’ll save without a bathtub by installing a large, curbless shower and a built-in seat. To keep your bathroom really modern, try adding some bluetooth accessories for music and create an all sensory experience.

Three dimensional tile
While white subway tile is more popular than ever, homeowners are looking for ways to make their bathrooms unique. Three-dimensional tile can be traditional, mid century, or ultra modern. Whether a small accent area or an entire feature wall, this special tile is unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Solid Surface Shower
Do you hate cleaning all those individual grout lines on your shower walls? Save your time and sanity by installing a custom solid surface shower surround. Formica Corporation offers some fantastic solutions from solid colors to patterns with subtle movement in their solid surfacing collection.

Always remember, that bathrooms, like kitchens, will play a major role in resale value for your home. No matter which trends you apply in your bathroom remodel, make it a clean and relaxing space that you will enjoy.
