Knowing the latest bathroom renovation trends can help you plan for a successful project. The past year has seen the rise of these five key design elements.
Bigger bathrooms
Homeowners are increasing the sizes of their bathrooms, particularly ensuites. How? By absorbing closets, hallways or extra bedrooms. Homeowners are particularly keen on expanding bathtubs and showers, such as a wet-room setup with a curbless entry and a substantial deck that offers a place to sit.
Planning for ageing
Homeowners are increasingly planning for special needs in their bathrooms, with a focus on ageing household members. Various accessible design details are being incorporated into plans, including grab bars, non-slip flooring, plenty of room to manoeuvre a wheelchair or walker and an easy-to-enter low-curb shower.
Wooden vanities
For years, white vanities were the preferred choice among homeowners. Now, wood is the top choice for bathroom vanities. While many homeowners still prefer a white benchtop, the wood detail adds warmth and sophistication to the bathroom.
Sustainability
Sustainability has become a factor in bathroom renos. The most popular selections are LED light bulbs, water-efficient fixtures, a timeless design, energy-efficient features and light dimmers. The top reasons for adding sustainable elements are cost-effectiveness in the long run and environmental friendliness.
Luxury finishes and materials
As an investment for improvements out of necessity and future needs, homeowners are likely to splurge on finishes and materials that make a long-lasting impact. This includes materials like Italian marble and granite, onyx and quartz, premium quality chrome or brass finish fixtures, layered lighting and elements that add a spa-like ambiance, such as tub jets.
