Top 5 Bathroom Trends for 2011

Open Vanities

When designing a space, storage is everything!  Open vanities are great for any bathroom because the shelves are not only open, but the vanity off the floor gives you the feel of a larger space.  Vanities can be designed to fit any style from country to contemporary.

Heated Floors

After a hot shower, why step onto a floor that will make your feet freeze?  Having radiant heat built underneath your floor will help circulate it throughout the bathroom.  Another plus is that the heat continues to rise from the floor after being turned off.

Natural and Green

Who doesn’t enjoy the spa, so why not bring that luxurious feeling home?  Bamboo is a natural product that provides a sense of Zen with its clean lines and light airy feel.  You can utilize this environment-friendly product within a variety of features from vanities to light fixtures to flooring.

Large, Vertical Showers

Don’t just get clean in a shower, but make it your private haven to relax and unwind.  Today, people are opting to install large shower heads and water jets to produce intense pressure on certain muscle groups.  But if you’re concerned about the planet and saving water, all new showerheads on the market are required to have a water-efficiency rating.

Tiles

When it comes to decorating the walls of a bathroom, tile is a trendsetter.  Tile is great because not only is it durable and easy to clean, but it comes in a variety of shapes.  Consider large tiles with rectangular shapes to complement oblong-shaped bath and basins. You can also use mosaic tiles boldly to create a patterned feature wall.  Just remember to lay larger tiles on the floor, medium sized tiles on the walls and mosaic-sized tiles as a border or frieze.
