Fashionable Trends in Bathroom Design
2018 is nearly here and the trends in bathroom design look like there are going to be a lot of carryover and build up on many of the trends that we saw in 2017. One of the major trends to come out of 2017 was the use of vanities.The Trend Is Toward Furniture Style VanitiesRight now, vanities are big business, and for those bathrooms that you find on all the blogs and liked on Pinterest, they are what most folks are focusing on. While there’s more emphasis on bathtubs as well nowadays, the vanity still occupies a special place as the centerpiece of the bathroom, and for many bathrooms, it will be the jumping point for the overall design of the entire bathroom.The ones that look and feel like furniture are quite hot in terms of bathroom design.French Style DoorsAnother huge trend in bathroom design is showers with French doors. Closed off showers are great because they allow the steam to fill up the area and it makes your shower feel that much more cozy and warm. Not only that, but French doors look incredibly slick, and look quite beautiful in the otherwise overlooked space of the shower.Colorful TileBathrooms aren’t generally known for being one of the most colorful rooms in the house, but powder blue tiles are making a comeback alongside other lightly colored tiles. The idea there is to keep the rest of the room relatively neutral in order to allow the tiles to shine through.Black and White Patterned Floor TileBlack and white is always going to be one of the most popular color schemes in areas like the kitchen or the bathroom and there’s a good reason for that: it looks pretty cool and in a room like the bathroom where tiled floors give you an opportunity to do something interesting with patterns and mosaics, something like black and white patterned floor tile isn’t going to remain forgotten forever.Round Vanity MirrorsA lot of what 2017 was about featured a movement away from hard edges toward rounded ones. Hence the fascination with rounded vanity mirrors which are perfect for putting above your furniture style vanity.Open ShowersThis one took a lot of folks by surprise, but designing bathrooms to have a drain in the middle of the room allowed folks to feature both a tub for soaking and a shower that was independent of the tub area, and not sectioned off against the rest of the room. Basically, the entire bathroom becomes one gigantic shower, and you won’t have to worry about splashing around in the bathtub either. The room drains like a community showers in locker rooms would.
