Current Bathroom Remodeling Trends
Posted By admin on April 9, 2009
In the past few years, the bathroom has evolved from a simple necessity place at home to a place where people are spending more and more time relaxing and rejuvenating. Today’s homeowner is looking to make the bathroom more comfortable, stylish and personal by using fixtures with more than one function.
There are a few new trends that are appearing in new bathroom remodels:
Fixtures: gold and chrome are becoming popular choices to dress up the room. While clear plastic and resin handles may have been popular a few short years ago, the material’s short life has made most homeowners switch to better quality and better looking items in their bathroom.
Floor: new flooring trends are somewhat more radical than others. Homeowners are now installing an electric heating system under the tiles and even up through the wall to provide constant warmth all around the body. Also, tile and vinyl flooring have been replaced with concrete flooring styles. Concrete flooring can be easily colored and even scored in a way that can remain timeless
Heating: Fireplaces are being added into bathroom design more and more as a means of warmth and to add a sense of coziness and tranquility to the room. Sculptural radiators are also becoming more popular for heating a large area, and double as a decorative piece of art.
Different materials: using a combination of building materials is another hot design trend. Materials like glass, chrome and china can be found in new and remodeling bathrooms across the country. Glass tile is emerging as a favorite material for the bath. Homeowners are designing showers with glass tile in ocean colors to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Stainless steel also is making its way into the bath. Designers are incorporating stainless steel in everything, from the sink to the medicine chest to the bathtub to shower walls. A natural stone element in the room can add warmth and a contrasting texture to the stainless steel.
