Bathroom Trends for 2013

So what can we see in bathrooms for the coming year? 


Free Standing Tubs are still  a popular choice going forward.  Mixing vintage and modern elements was prevalent at the design show.  Wouldn't this tub make a stunning focal point in an ensuite?

Sinks

Vessel sinks were everywhere, the majority in white, but also in hammered copper, like the one shown below from Native Trails.  The finish on this is a brushed nickel. 

Many sinks were shallow, but shapes varied from oval and round to rectangular.  As long as they had clean, simple lines, they had a place in the new line up for 2013.

White, White and more White.....Tiles

You can never go wrong with white tiles in a bathroom.  The difference now is the addition of new shapes such as hexagons or diamonds.

Keeping the bathroom one colour, but varying the patterns used on different surfaces is aesthetically pleasing and still evokes that clean look.

Lighting

There are many more lighting options available for bathrooms, including adding light in unexpected places, such as in the photo I posted in my last blog:

Indirect lighting adds a nice relaxing touch to a bathroom.  Other ideas included having the light come out from behind a mirror, or below a medicine cabinet.

A Last Detail....

If you are installing one of the larger showers, adding one of these long drains continues the modern look of the bathroom.  Its a nice alternative to the smaller round drains in the center.
