Whether you’ve decided your bathroom needs an upgrade or you’re planning out your custom dream home master bath, we’ve got a few suggestions to get your creative juices flowing. Since bathroom remodels are one of the higher return projects you can do to your home if you ever plan to sell, it makes sense. And according to one real estate survey, homeowners feel more “joy” in their homes after a bathroom remodel or refresh, so it’s a win-win!

Here are 7 bathroom trends that can make a big difference:

Double Vanities

Double vanities are certainly not a new trend but are considered a must-have in most master bathrooms. We’ve also heard from many couples shopping for their next home that not having a double vanity is a deal-breaker!

Freestanding Tubs

Freestanding tubs are a more recent trend, and though they used to be more of a specialty item, they’ve become much more affordable. They do require a bit more space than a more traditional built-in tub, but they can really add style. And since freestanding tubs are available in so many different shapes and sizes today, you can find the right aesthetic – whether it’s vintage, contemporary, or something in between!

Mirrors

Sure, every bathroom needs a mirror, but have you ever considered how common it is to have standard straight-line mirrors in bathrooms? A statement mirror can easily and affordably dress up, adding personality to a bathroom.

Walk-In Showers

Not only do walk-in showers feel spa-level luxurious, but they also deliver many advantages, including accessibility and ease of cleaning (tile as compared to porcelain). Larger walk-in showers can also accommodate a variety of cool shower heads, jets, built-in seating, etc.

Shower Enclosure Variations

If you choose that route, you can still opt for a shower curtain, but today, there are a wide variety of shower enclosures to choose from. Glass is a very popular choice. It’s clean and simple and doesn’t detract from the shower stall tile or design.

Tiles & Textures

While tile is a fairly standard bathroom feature, there are many opportunities to add texture, dimension & richness to a bathroom’s design by incorporating differently shaped or raised tiles or various textures like natural stone, wood, glass, etc…

Floating Vanities

Growing in popularity, floating vanities are no longer synonymous with contemporary design. They can help expand the space available in your bathroom, make cleaning easier, and allow your flooring or tilework to be the star of the show.

  • My favorite part of your article was definitely the part that talked about walk-in showers. The fact that they can be much easier to clean while adding some great style options to my bathroom could be enough reason to get one and spend some more budget for it. I’ll talk about walk-in shower options when I hire a remodeling contractor to help me work on my bathroom.

  • Great article! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
