Switch It Up: Bathrooms

Your bathroom should be more than a space for everyday use, it should be your escape from everyday stress.

What goes into a bathroom? Hair products? Soaps and scents? Your multivitamins? A hamper? For many, it’s simply the first place you go when you wake up and the last place you visit before you sleep—nothing more than a place to get ready or get clean.

Consider this: What if your bathroom could be a sanctuary? Not just a space for everyday use, but an escape from everyday stresses—somewhere your troubles could be washed or soaked away with ease. We can help bring that vision to fruition. Here’s your inside look at what’s hot and what’s not in bathroom design in 2021.

HOT: Understated Elegance | NOT: Over-the-Top

Rainshower in chrome finish.

Exaggerated styles are on their way out, there’s something to be said about the elegance of simplicity. Clean lines make for a clean bathroom, and you can make several simple upgrades—like a new showerhead from Hansgrohe, a stunning addition from Infinity Drain or a brilliant faucet for Kohler—to enhance the appearance of your at-home escape."

HOT: Mixed to Match | NOT: Matchy-Matchy

Sconces with bushed nickel finish and frosted white glass shades.

White paint and light woods, blue cabinets with brass accents…we understand the appeal of matching decor, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t a bit bored with the trend. Instead, we’re excited about the future of design, which involves mixing different styles, eras and materials together to create a truly unique space. Take the DXV Belshire Vanity, for example, and its perfect fusion of warm wood grains, brass inlays and stone countertop—or the Antonia collection from Park Harbor, and its balance of both metal and glass.

HOT: Ovular Opulence | NOT: Settling for Squares

Oval white freestanding bathtub with floor mounted tub filler.

Round and round we go, what style you select, only you can know—either way, don’t settle for squares. Ovals are in and they’re here to stay. Install an oversized ovular tub, like Signature Hardware’s Winifred, to create a spa-like experience right at home. Alternatively, consider the appeal of the Luv vessel sink from Duravit.
