On Trend: Bathroom Designs

Because bathrooms are a top selling feature, it’s valuable to know what’s on trend if you have a renovation in mind. Whether you consider an overhaul to the room’s footprint or a more straightforward update to finishes, these current design tips will enhance your investment.

 

Brass is back. A warmer look than the polished nickel that has reigned in recent years, brass tones offer a classic contrast to the white and light grey shades that have remained popular for tile and countertops. Consider fixtures, framed mirrors, and unique drawer pulls to incorporate brass elements. The light backdrops of white and grey offer a neutral canvas for quick updates like contrasting wallpaper or wainscoting. Lean in favor of large-scale designs like marbleized patterns or the bold aesthetic of a Zebrino or Arabascato wall feature. Oversized veining in these materials has a modern art installation appeal but also offers the timelessness of durable stone.

 

Form and function have never been so intertwined in luxury bathroom appointments. Stand-alone soaking tubs that almost double as sculptural elements are truly indulgent upgrades that are worth the expense. Whether for your own comforts or for potential buyers, it’s impossible to overlook the luxurious relaxation that a deep soak affords. Integrated lighting is another design upgrade that will make you want to linger. Integrated into the architecture or into a mirror itself, advanced lighting features can provide a spa-like atmosphere.
