It’s fall again, the time of year when interior designers come out of the woodwork with predictions of the exciting new bath design trends we can expect to see in the new year. Whether you’re planning to build a new bathroom or update an existing one, to DIY or hire a professional, your timing couldn’t be better!
Here’s everything you need to know about the hottest, new bathroom designs expected to inspire and endure throughout 2019 and beyond.
Bigger is Better: Spacious surroundings make us feel more relaxed, pampered, and at peace—in short, exactly the way you’re supposed to feel as you go about your daily hygiene and self-care routines. It might be worth making some structural adjustments to your home to free up square footage for expanding your bathroom.
Vintage is (Still) Cool: From art deco dressers repurposed as vanities to flea-market-find lighting fixtures, the popularity and charm of vintage décor is destined to endure in 2019. The imaginative ways that you can incorporate this fun aesthetic into your bath remodeling plans are virtually limitless—and often highly affordable.
Keep It Simple: When it comes to bath décor, clean and simple never seems to go out of style. Neutral, earthy, and monochromatic color palettes are all great options for creating a space that is visually streamlined and serenely uncluttered. With just the addition of colorful accessories and towels, you can create an effortlessly fresh look or seasonal update.
Trendy Terrazzo: Terrazzo, or “terrace” in Italian, is a composite material that has been around for centuries, but today we’re seeing it pop up everywhere, including in flooring, furniture, countertops, and walls. Made by embedding chips of marble, quartz, granite, and even glass into a concrete or epoxy resin, Terrazzo is an easy material to put your own personal stamp on, thanks to a myriad of chip sizes and shapes, as well as an almost endless array of hues to choose from.
The “Wet Room” Bathroom: The wet room trend sees the entire bathroom, or a large portion of it, constructed with waterproof materials. Popular floorplans include grouping a shower and tub together at one “open” end of the room, often enclosed behind a glass wall, to maximize their design impact and make the room feel more spacious.
Simplified Storage: Say goodbye to the hulking vanities of yesteryear, with their dense cabinetry, drawers, nooks, and crannies. This fresh, new design favors open storage areas, such as unobtrusive hanging shelves and floating ledges, to help keep your bathroom looking both spacious and orderly. As everyone knows, the more storage space you have, the more stuff you’ll find to cram into it, so limiting storage options makes sense.
The Warmth of Wood: As a natural material that lends sophistication and warmth to any room, wood fixtures and accessories are an increasingly popular design amenity in the bathroom. From made-to-measure wood vanities to gorgeous hardwood floors and walls combined with tile or other finishes, wood surfaces in the bathroom require only occasional hand drying to keep them looking their best.
Smart Bathrooms: Futuristic features like motion detecting faucets and lights, automatic water temperature controls, heated flooring and towel racks, and even mirrors with built-in touchscreens are high on the bath remodel wish lists of many homeowners.
Whether you intend to incorporate some of these design trends into your own renovation plans or simply take a more traditional approach, like outfitting your space with reliable bathroom remodeling products from a trusted brand, the decision to elevate your bathroom to the next level of design and functionality is always a wise one. So get inspired! By combining some of these sophisticated new design trends with the bath features, fixtures, and finishes of unrivalled quality that Kohler is known for, you can’t go wrong.
