Keeping up with home decor trends can be challenging and frankly might have you asking, “What’s the point?” This is an understandable mentality to have, but recently there has been a surge of trends that are so gorgeous and innovative that you might consider updating your current interior design. Adopting some of the latest bathroom trends might just improve your overall ability to relax in the space. Take your bathroom design from chaotic to calm with these new trends!
The Floating Sink
Futuristic, new, and modern, this trend is great for updating the overall vibe of your current bathroom. Say goodbye to outdated cabinetry and hello to the floating sink, also known as the floating vanity. With its angular appearance and crisp lines, this trend is perfect for those who would like to maximize their space in an aesthetically pleasing way. The short length of the vanity allows for the bathroom to look larger in appearance. It’s also highly customizable and can be built to show the hardware underneath, a trend that designers are loving recently. Another great bonus of the floating sink is the easy access you’ll have to the area underneath for cleaning purposes rather than crouching into the cabinetry.
Colorful Tiles
Subway tiles have been trendy for quite some time, but they aren’t going anywhere yet. This trend has reemerged with color this time! Utilize this trend with a color of your choice that reflects your personal style. Whether you install them above the sink or in the shower, colorful subway tiles will personalize and beautify your space, making it all the more enjoyable for you to spend time in. If these relatively small tiles aren’t your style, several unique tiles are gaining popularity right now. Large square tiles of various color patterns and textures are making waves and providing lots of options. These are perfect if you’re looking for something particularly unique.
The Freestanding Tub
Who doesn’t want a large soaking tub? The freestanding tub has been a huge trend recently. These tubs are larger than the average alcove tub, providing more space to sprawl out during your bath. Having a freestanding tub is like having a private hot tub in your bathroom, especially if you choose an option with jets. A focus on wellbeing is at the center of this trend, and taking time for yourself to relax is the goal here. Freestanding tubs are neutral in appearance, which means that they will work in any style of bathroom.
Showstopping Lighting
Live in the lap of luxury with showstopping and eccentric lighting fixtures. Your bathroom’s lighting will serve as a centerpiece for the entire powder room. Pendants and chandeliers, often oversized or featuring stunning crystals, are among the most popular bathroom lighting fixtures right now. This is also the easiest trend on the list to incorporate! Simply select the fixture you’d like to add and have an electrician install it. There’s no ripping out cabinetry or plumbing as other trends might require. New and bold lighting fixtures will transform your space without breaking the bank or taking too much time.
Through and through, your bathroom should be a calming and happy space for you to start and end your daily routine. By getting on the bandwagon with these trends, you’re bound to see an improvement in the overall appearance of your space and how you feel in it. Adopt one or all to keep your home in style!
