Tips for a Trendy New Bathroom

Timeless Kitchen Design Trends That Remain Fashionable

Many people see the arrival of a New Year as a chance to start breaking old habits or trying to find a better work/life balance. A new year is also a great time to give your home a fresh new look, and the bathroom is an easy and affordable way to start.

Bathroom Design Elements

There are several components to a good design. In the bathroom, it’s more than just the layout of the space. Key components include tile color, paint color, accessory styles and more.

Tile Styles

So many homeowners want to create a space that moves past functionality and becomes an expression of themselves. Fortunately, when working with tiles, there are many ways to do this. Tiles come in a wide array of colors and patterns, and when working with a design, mixing and matching is acceptable to create a unique look.

• Black and white patterned floors
• Retro squares
• Ribbons and slats
• Penny round tile arranged in patterns
• Zellige tile

Your creativity is all that limits your tile arrangement and color choice. You can use oversized decorative wall tiles for an impressive effect or allow the floor to carry into the shower for a cohesive look with your bathroom design.

Tile Placement

Tiles aren’t just for flowing. An impressive bathroom tile design recognized the beauty and functionality of exploring tile options on the wall and in the shower. Additionally, when selecting patterned tiles, you can lay them in unique shapes or designs and add a visual interest element to your bathroom space. One trending look is the use of vintage bathroom tiles but laid out in patterns. One example is the use of penny tiles. Homeowners now customize a design and include tile borders and multiple color to bring a modern touch.

Tile styles that have several diverse placement options for a trendy bathroom include:

• Checkerboard tile
• Subway tile
• Hexagon tile

If you are looking for a modern twist on the vintage look of these tiles, don’t underestimate the power of color. You can also customize a design to place in the center of the floor or as a visual interest piece on the wall.

Tile Functionality

Tile is making a comeback as a backsplash option in the modern bathroom design. Although it may not carry the importance of installing shower tile or re-doing the floor, backsplash tile can completely change the look and feel of your bathroom. It’s useful in helping pull together your other design elements for a cohesive but, but it also works to protect your wall from the splashes and spray of the faucet that cause water damage. It’s easy to clean and low maintenance.

Terrazzo tile is still a popular trend for flooring, but it makes an excellent backsplash option for its durability and wide range of color combinations. White subway tiles are a classic that never seems to go out of style, and this minimalist approach is still topping the list for 2023 bathroom trends.

Paint Color

In addition to the bold statement that tiles make in a bathroom, your paint color is important. Your color defines the overall space and sets the design tone. There are different styles for every personality, but a modern, monochromatic look is still trending in 2023. This kind of color scheme can help turn a boring but functional space in your home into an oasis of relaxation. Monochromatic color schemes are often minimalist, but they create an eye-catching effect when the color placement is well-chosen.

Monochrome surfaces create a focal point but they can also make a small or odd-shaped bathroom seem larger and the bathroom design more cohesive. If you don’t want to completely conform to a monotonous look, consider using different shades or tones of a particular hue. Monochromatic isn’t limited to black and white, though if you are working with checkerboard tiles, it’s a bold look. Choose a soothing paint color or make a statement.

These are a few of the colors defining chic bathroom spaces:

• Moody or complex blues
• Green tones and combinations like olive green and forest green
• Tranquil neutrals and grays
• Sky shades that vibe tranquility like pale pinks or soft powder blues

Color coordinating your bathroom tile and paint is easy to do with the wide range of tile options, but add in some contrast for a captivating look. Working with a textured look also maintains continuity without making the uniformity look uninspired.

Accessory Styles

Outfitting your bathroom with lights, mirrors, shelving or wall art will help complete a captivating but relaxing atmosphere. Through the accessories considered for your bathroom design, you add an extra splash of personality or create a modern vibe to the space.

Backlit Mirrors

One of the top trends is backlit mirrors. Hanging chic mirrors with lighting built-in elevates the feel of your bathroom to be rich and luxurious. You can find a wide range of styles, shapes and sizes. You can use textures or natural wood tones on the framing to help create a more spa-like feel in your space.

Metallic Accents

Adding softened metallic fixtures or hardware can bring a note of warmth and softness to your bathroom. Soft or brushed champagne gold offers a warming contrast to tiled areas, but you aren’t limited to just one color.

Metallic Accents

You can create an illusion of more space through the use of mirrored surfaces. This works really well when a wall-length mirror reflects the tiled walls of a shower or showcases a unique design element. Bathroom tiles capitalized on this trend as well, since glossy or metallic collars have similar reflective qualities.
