Bathrooms are an essential part of any house. A clean and aesthetically-pleasing bathroom speaks volumes about your taste in interior décor and creativity. Over the years, master bathrooms have become more luxurious. Pictures on Instagram and Pinterest show beautiful, spa-like rooms that offer you the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate after a long days’ work. However, master bedrooms are just but the beginning. Smart toilets, anti-fog mirrors and accent walls, to name a few, are some of the new bathroom trends that are growing rapidly in popularity.
Most people are doing away with the old contemporary-styled bathrooms and are slowly embracing the transitional-styled bathrooms which combine various styles altogether. Let’s now take a look at some of the most popular bathroom trends in 2020:
Bathroom Accent Walls
Accent walls provide a centralized location for your bathroom. They act as focal points for your bathtub or vanity, whichever object you wish to highlight. Popular choices for accent walls include mosaic tile, marble, wood, natural stone and brick. Many homeowners use patterns and other colored materials to make these walls. This is because accent walls bring a bit of personal touch into a room and reflect on their personal style.
Chandeliers
One word can be used to describe a bathroom fitted with a chandelier, fancy! These luminating fixtures are simply the focal point of your bathroom. Proper lighting sets the beauty and style of a room all while illuminating every nook and cranny. A common chandelier type for use in the bathroom is the Starburst model which looks like a glowing star.
High-Tech Toilets
Most remodelers want their toilets to operate as high-tech as possible. Smarter features like heated seats, self-cleaning options, overflow protection, bidets and built-in night lights are just but a few things that make a high-tech bathroom all the more interesting. Bidets are popular in Japan therefore it is no surprise that the smart toilet trend originates from there.
Ditching Bathtubs for Larger Showers
People find switching to larger showers instead of a small bathtub to be more practical. As homeowners get older, they may be troubled about getting in and out of bathtubs easily. They want a shower that can accommodate a wheelchair or walker with ease.
Pimped-Out Mirrors
Many homeowners are installing double mirrors with built-in LED lighting, anti-fog systems and hidden electrical plugs. All these features give the mirror a unique look that makes your bathroom all the more interesting.
Upgraded Medicine Cabinets
Many homeowners are switching from traditional-styled medicine cabinets to upgraded custom or semi-custom units. These cabinets have hidden electrical plugs and their own lighting making them the perfect choice of storage for all the important things you need.
Bold Colors
Bold colors add vibrancy to your bathroom. Lime green for example, gives off a summer feel while matte black, provides a strong contrast to your white toiletries and accessories. Orange adds depth and warmth, making it one of the best go-to colors if you are going for the spa-like feel for your bathroom.
The above mentioned trends appear quite popular and for good reasons. However, they should not be the standard for your own bathroom. Go for an individualized style that will not only make you feel comfortable, but satisfied at the same time.
The bathroom improvements you made can significantly increase your property value. Contact a certified realtor to guide you through the entire process.
