Bathroom Upgrades

Even if you don’t plan to sell your home anytime soon, imagine how nice it would be to give your bathroom a new look and feel.  The bathroom design trends that experts are touting for 2019 are fresh and exciting, and many of the projects are very affordable.  Here are some ideas and highlights.

 

5 Ideas For Creating An In-Home Spa Experience

With some creative thinking and a few do-it-yourself projects, you too can transform an everyday bathroom into a spa-like experience.

  1. High-end shower head.  There is an overabundance of shower head options available today that can make even a simple shower space feel like a luxurious experience.
  2. Heated towel rack.  Once out of the tub or shower, heated towels help you comfortably maintain your body temperature while the pampering continues.
  3. Dimmable lights.  Adjust the bathroom lights to match your moods and activities – brighter for primping and dimmed to create a calming effect.
  4. Less clutter.  Not everything that’s meant for the bathroom needs to be stored in the bathroom.  Look for things that can be moved elsewhere to make the space feel a bit bigger and more organized.
  5. Calming scents.  Essential oils, luxury soaps and scented candles are an easy way to create an aromatic atmosphere.

 


Bathroom Designs, Color and Tile

Modern bathroom designs:

If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary for your bathroom renovation, consider swapping the standard accoutrements for something with more color and pizzazz.

  • Matte black is now being used for bathroom faucets and other fixtures.  Brass and white metal are also trending, while copper is becoming somewhat passé.
  • Bathtubs and toilets are now available in a wide array of colors, as well.  Kohler alone offers 10 color options for both.
  • Expect to see more freestanding tubs in 2019 – a style that’s already very popular on the international design scene.

 

Bathroom color trends:

The big trend in bathroom paint is to reduce the use of cool colors like copper and pink.  Instead, focus on warm earth tones.

 

Tile trends and colors:

Bold new looks in tile, especially wall tile, can be used to transform just about any bathroom space.

  • Three-dimensional wall tiles are becoming popular, because they provide a look and feel that can’t be duplicated with any other material.
  • Tiles with dazzling, coordinated graphic patterns are also trending.
  • Hot colors in the world of tile include denim blue and muted earth tones.

 


5 Trendy Wallpaper styles

Wallpaper has been attracting lots of attention from the design community lately.  Five styles currently trending include:

  1. Romance.  Perfect for the bedroom or bathroom, this genre features soft beige and cream colors, light blue and green, plus blushing bursts of red.  The design can range from delicate, faded flower images to heart-pounding, blood-red displays.  Textured wallpapers are also gaining popularity.
  2. Modern Art.  Bosting abstract designs, futuristic scenes, mind-bending visions and playful imagery, this bold and confident line of wallpaper can single-handedly turn any room into the talk of the town (and make every day feel like an urban gallery opening).
  3. Urban Culture.  Sophisticated yet playful, comforting and creative, this collection of wallpapers delivers a decidedly hip look and feel that is especially at home and modern furnishings.
  4. Luxury.  Rich colors, sophisticated designs, high-quality materials (including leather, velvet and textiles), combine to create walls like you would otherwise expect in a high-rise penthouse.
  5. Digital.  Created with oversized digital printers, this genre of wallpaper showcases large-format, high-resolution photographic images and highly stylized illustrations and graphics.
