Bathroom styles, like everything, change with the times. New trends, looks, and materials progress through the years, making way for new designs. Bathrooms today look and perform differently than they did even just a few short years ago. Here’s a look at some of the newest trends in bathroom designs.

Bathroom Patterns, Prints, & Perspective

It takes more than the right colors and accents to design a bathroom. Geometric patterns and prints are also useful to accentuate anything from floors to walls or even bathtubs. Bold prints can transform any bathroom from a drab space into a modern marvel, time-honored classic, or tropical oasis. Adding three-dimensional materials to walls can call out a specific section of the room or help guide the eye for optimal flow, creating a calm, soothing atmosphere.

Matte Bathroom Materials

In 2020, we saw a rise in matte countertops over high gloss and polish. This trend is working its way around the room and can now be seen frequently in other areas. Matte walls or flooring can create a sense of calm and style that doesn't overwhelm the viewer. As opposed to a high gloss, the soft glow creates a natural and earthy look in the bathroom. Matte flooring is less likely to show water spots or smudges and requires less maintenance than shiny tiles. A well-lit, high traffic bathroom is the perfect candidate for this new matte trend!

Oval Shaped Bathtubs

Creating a focal point in your bathroom with an oval bathtub has become a nationwide trend. Not only does this type of tub enhance the style and elegance of a bathroom, but it creates the perfect place to relax and unwind in your newly renovated space. These bathtubs come in a variety of materials and sizes, making them ideal for any bathroom renovation.

Gold Bathroom Accents

Gold is back, and it's here to stay! Gold bathroom accents can cover anything from faucet heads to light fixtures to drawer handles. These accents are becoming more dominant as options continue to grow and evolve. You can find them in any number of materials, shapes, and colors like brushed gold, champagne, and brushed bronze. Even better - prices points for gold accents are going down, making them a glamorous and affordable way to spruce up your remodel!

Muted Bathroom Colors

Soft, muted colors can transform your new bathroom into a spa-like sanctuary. Hues such as muted terracotta, blues, and greens are gaining popularity for accent walls or all-over color. These colors bring the retro vibe of the ’70s without the brightness. Muted colors tend to be very organic and natural, making them a gorgeous compliment to matte finishes and chunky quartz counters.

Terrazzo and Chunky Quartz Bathroom Counters

Midcentury southern homes are known for having unique and charming terrazzo floors, but adding these floors to a newer home can produce a substantial price tag. Chunky quartz gives you the drama and pizzazz of terrazzo countertops without the hefty cost.

While you'll have many options in terms of style, materials, colors and more when it comes to your new bathroom's fashion and function, the most critical choice you'll make is selecting the right design and construction team.
