As you plan to revamp your bathroom this year and ponder over the best design aesthetics, this year's trends can serve as a fantastic starting point.
The overarching theme in bathroom design leans heavily toward incorporating elements of nature indoors. Natural materials are highly favored, and more people are embracing the idea of creating indoor vertical gardens, also referred to as living walls or green walls. Given the high humidity levels in bathrooms, they provide the ideal environment for installing these vertical planters. Pairing this lush greenery with natural stone and wood can create a serene retreat that feels like a peaceful sanctuary.
This natural trend isn't the sole focus when it comes to bathroom designs. From toilets to faucets, there are numerous new trends to explore when building or renovating your bathroom in 2014/2015.
Let's zoom in on the finer details. Toilets might not immediately strike you as trendy, but toilet manufacturers are increasingly focusing on water-saving innovations. Toilets offering options like half flush and full flush, which have been popular in Europe for quite some time, are finally gaining traction in North America.
For baths and showers, soaking tubs are replacing elaborate enclosed showers as must-haves for 2014. Standalone tubs are particularly popular as we see a clear distinction between shower and bath areas. This shift allows for luxurious bathrooms where you can indulge in self-care rituals. If you prefer showers, spacious walk-in showers are trending this year. By eliminating the tub and opting for a doorless walk-in shower, you can maximize space. People are moving away from rainfall showers and leaning towards flexible detachable showerheads. Handheld showers are incredibly practical and can be used for tasks like rinsing off a muddy dog, changing a diaper, or cleaning the shower walls.
Sinks are evolving too. Vessel sinks, those large bowls placed atop cabinets, have dominated for a while, but they're gradually losing favor. Instead, sinks without storage are gaining popularity, leading to creative storage solutions emerging. Imagine delicate legs supporting deep sinks for a glimpse of the bathroom trends in 2014.
Countertops are shifting away from granite, which has been dominant for years. This year, quartz is taking center stage. Quartz is a fantastic material for bathrooms; it's non-porous yet retains the beauty of natural stone. It offers superior durability and is easier to maintain compared to granite. If quartz doesn't appeal to you, other materials like ceramic or concrete are worth considering to stay on trend.
In terms of fixtures, faucets and fittings are getting a touch of warmth. Materials like copper, brass, and bronze are trending, contrasting with the continued presence of chrome and brushed nickel. However, warmer tones are set to dominate bathroom design in 2014.
Technology is another growing trend in bathrooms, with features like sensor-operated faucets and waterproof wireless speakers becoming more common. These tech integrations enhance functionality and convenience.
When it comes to color and surroundings, white has traditionally been a staple in bathrooms. However, predictions suggest that shades of grey, blue, and even beige will make a comeback across Canadian bathrooms. These colors can add warmth and elegance to a space. For smaller bathrooms, sticking with white, off-white, or beige can prevent the walls from feeling confined.
LED lighting is gaining popularity among homeowners due to its energy efficiency and versatility. Having seen increased use in commercial buildings, LED lighting is now making waves in residential settings.
For tiles and surrounds, mosaic tiles are the way forward if you want to embrace current trends. Say goodbye to plain white subway tiles and opt for mosaic tiles that inject personality into your bathroom. Whether you prefer a retro or modern look, mosaic tiles allow you to express your unique style. If mosaic seems excessive, marble tiles are a timeless alternative. Combining classic marble tiles with glass tiles adds texture and luxury to any bathroom.
Deciding whether to stick with traditional styles or adopt some of these new trends depends on your preferences. Regardless of your choice, renovating your bathroom can significantly transform your home.
