When you are ready to update that bathroom and you don’t know where to start, look to the year’s trends to create a room that defines your style. Not knowing the exactly what you want in your bathroom is okay. Sometimes knowing what you don’t like helps you find what you actually do like. Start by collecting some bathroom remodel ideas that you like, and then you can create a unique design that you will be happy with through the years. Here are several trends that are big in 2015.
Focus on the Floors – Having unique flooring can be the focal point of your bathroom. If you use tile as the material, you have the freedom to custom build a floor that will flow with the rest of the room.
Big Showers – Over the past several years closets have grown from only a few square feet to entire rooms, so why not showers. Recently, more homeowners with smaller bathrooms are opting to use their space for more functional and comfortable walk-in showers.
Freestanding Bathtubs – What bathroom isn’t complete without a bathtub. Freestanding bathtubs creates a luxurious feel because the bathroom works around the tub instead of the other way around.
Geometric Design – Many bathrooms are being designed with shapes in mind. The use of lines and geometric shapes in the bathroom creates an interesting design that holds the eye and the mind.
Heating Floors and Towels – You can make a bathroom more luxurious by adding in-floor heating and/or towel warmers. We wouldn’t need this during the summer, however during the winter warming your toes and towel can make all the difference on a cold morning.
Bold Lighting – The bathroom is a great place to get a little daring in your lighting design. Unusual sconces, an ornate chandelier, or a set of funky pendants can add some pizazz to your bathroom. To make sure to get the best use of the light throughout the bathroom (especially the vanity), the bathroom must have up-lights and low lights.
