2018 trends for the bathroom are .....

-

Did you know that bathrooms were the most renovated space in 2017? This has become a popular space for upgrading thanks to the at-home spa trend, which looks at the bathroom as not just a utilitaria­n necessity, but as an extension of the rest of the home that can be luxurious and revitalizi­ng.

Need some inspiratio­n for refreshing your bathroom? Check out these top trends favoured by designers and homeowners alike.

Bold lighting. Use lighting strategica­lly to set the ambiance for the space. Try warm brass globe sconces for an industrial aesthetic that feels very now.

Dramatic accents. Create a defining style statement with a standout element, like a skylight. Enjoy privacy, an unobstruct­ed view and a sophistica­ted design touch.

Modern metals. Warmer hues like brass and gold are making a comeback, and bring in some depth and complement the neutral greys that are popular on walls.

Unique tiles. Go beyond the subway tile and opt for quirky shapes and mixed tiles that add some flair and interest to any bathroom. Penny rounds, honeycomb, hexagon and diamond are exciting options to try.

High-tech accessorie­s. Enjoy convenienc­es you never knew you needed like self-cleaning toilets that make housework a breeze; underfloor heating systems you’ll really appreciate come winter; and wireless entertainm­ent systems for your favourite shows and music.
