Bathroom design has been heading in a new direction this year. With more homeowners deciding to personalize the space, the bathroom is beginning to be decorated with the same care as other rooms in the home. I feel that people are thinking of the bathroom as more of a haven and not just a place to shower and shave. It’s the perfect space that allows homeowners take refuge, to relax and unwind. Now is the time to make the bathroom cozy and to move away from the standard bath, sink and toilet combo.

Enhance the Space

Bring your own personal style to the bathroom through colors, tiled floor patterns and decor accents. Don’t be afraid to show your personality because you’ll create a room that will make you happy and comfortable.

Separate Zones

Today’s bathroom layout has shaken up designs of the past by creating individual zones. Anything and everything that needs to be done in the bathroom will have its own location. Homeowners are increasing their square footage to allow space dedicated to dressing and makeup areas. We’re also seeing an increase in the water closet which is a side room containing the toilet. Also, several clients are opting to install separate shower and bath areas instead of the combo.

Minimalism

Bathroom design continues to move in a more minimalist direction. It’s all about a clean look that is fresh and inspiring. Even features, such as sink faucets, are beginning to decrease in hardware with hidden and built-in handles.

Focal Point

The bathroom vanity is still the centerpiece within the room. Once you decide the look you want, your designer can help create a piece that will offer storage and one-of-a-kind beauty. The vanity is all about the details, so craft a piece that will bring the wow factor to your bathroom.
