Bathroom Design Trends - Did I Mention Some Of These A Few Years Ago?

July 05, 2017 in Bath, Designing, Remodeling

We are heading into a new year and I’m sure many of you are considering a project or two in your home you’d like to tackle. Oftentimes, that is a bathroom remodel!

I have some design features that you might want to consider for the design of your new bathroom!

Yes, some of these are tried and true and have been seen but deserve a shout out as a reminder.

1) Think big with your tile installation

Let’s go big and clad the entire wall in tile. The fewer material transitions in a bathroom you have the cleaner the look and the bigger the space will feel.

2) slabs on shower curbs and seats

I often do slab material on shower curbs and seats because it creates a nice transition and it is easy to maintain. Having grout lines on horizontal surfaces creates places for water to stand.

3) Use mirrors strategically

Using a mirror from side wall to side wall like this really helped expand the look of this bathroom. For this look to be effective, it is best to run it straight to the end walls and not frame it on the ends.

Here, I opted for an exceptionally small mirror, to not hide the beautiful tile wall behind. That mirror makes a statement of wood in the room and the unique shape adds some style.

4) Don’t do a typical 4” slab backsplash

I also love a little short slab backsplash in the last bathroom. It’s something I shared in this post, The 2” High Slab Backsplash Could Be Your Perfect Design Solution. Why do the 4” typical when you can do something a little bit different and unexpected?
