KBTribeChat | Bathroom Design Trends
Vanities, tiles, brass and gold. Oh my! Bathroom design is changing, in a good way, and we can’t help but revel in it. A lot of designs are replicating a spa-like aesthetic without having to break the bank. With the changing styles of bathroom designs, expect to see a lot more contemporary, fresh minimal styles.
On this week’s KBtribechat we talked about the trending designs in bathroom spaces, from floating vanities to tiled bathroom floors.

Bathroom cabinetry is evolving! What bathroom furniture styles are becoming popular?
We are seeing a lot of transitional and contemporary styles which we are all about! The style is clean, organic and simple. Case in point: Floating vanities. The wall-mounted vanities create a simple, elegant improvement to any bathroom. The floating vanity provides a space that is easier to clean, makes the room look bigger and is perfect for extra storage place. Talk about ideal.

Decorative hardware is becoming an essential design component on cabinetry. What finishes and types are you specifying or want to use?
Brass and gold fixtures are making a comeback – but these aren’t the ones from your grandparent’s bathroom faucets. These modern, warm tones add depth, dimension and luxury to any space. A simple touch of these metals will warm up any bathroom design. Oh, and they look fabulous with Caesarstone, seen above in Pure White. Satin and matte fixtures are also a personal favorite of ours, especially in black. So incredibly sleek.

What countertop and sink styles are you specifying for today’s bathroom?
Quartz all the way (even though we may be a little biased). The minimalist, clean look of Caesarstone quartz countertops gives the bathroom a modern feel. We also love the fact that it’s stain and scratch resistant. Plus, easy to clean!

As far as sinks go, vessel sinks (aka decorative bowl sinks) sit on top of the counter and add an artistic twist to a bathroom vanity. The contemporary look gives an edgy, fresh look for anyone looking to change up their bathroom design.

What faucet and shower valve handle styles and finishes are you excited about?
Wall-mounted faucets are becoming a popular choice because they’re equal parts minimal and functional. Designers have been praising this essential design element and we can expect to see more this year.

Tile for bathroom flooring and showers has become very popular. Why do you see this trend continuing? Share beautiful images of bathroom tile inspiration!
Who doesn’t love a little tile action? From the floor to the walls, tiled bathrooms can be bold and daring. And with so many materials to choose from, we’ve got a chronic case of tile envy. Even better? It’s easy to clean and adds a chic touch to the home.

Many lighting options are available for the bathroom! What are your favorites?
Neutral tones + natural light = the spa we’ve been daydreaming about! Forget about paying to go to a professional spa, bring the spa retreat to your home. Natural light is key in creating a fresh, airy feel.

Insider tip: To create a spa-like atmosphere for your bathroom you don’t have to go all white - throw in some natural wood tones and work with texture, too. Have fun with it!

What features are you integrating into today’s bathroom designs?
Wallpaper is always in and it’s a key element to add flair and flavor to a bathroom. What’s great about wallpaper is there’s tons of options to fit any bathroom design whether you’re going for a bright and bold look or prefer a more minimal design. Wallpaper is a bathroom must.
