Trends in decorating shift dramatically from year to year, but sometimes even trends still maintain a certain degree of regularity to what has always been there in the past. When it comes to bathroom remodels, as well as new construction, we see a refreshing return to crisp, soft colors and minimal clutter. This year traditional classic is definitely the style to watch for. The following list gives a specific breakdown for the elements that define this popular style in bathroom design.
Color
The color palette this year is subdued, without being boring. Bone and beige are by far the most popular decor option. Following close behind is white and off white, and finally, shades of brown. These soothing colors will make any bath a spa experience where tranquility reigns.
Flooring
Tile is still the most popular option for floors and the choices are almost endless, with ceramic and porcelain being the most popular. Natural stone, like slate or even marble, comes in a close second as another good option.
Fixtures
Color is out when it comes to bathroom fixtures this year. The only colors we'll see will be off white and bisque. Pure white is by far the most popular choice on the market. Sinks will also return to traditional with the popularity of under mount models. These are followed closely by drop-ins and other, well integrated, options.
Faucets and Hardware
This category is where we see the only shift from traditional since nickel finishes continue to dominate the marketplace, with the brushed nickel finish the most popular choice. We also find polished chrome and satin nickel close behind. Bronze is the next best option and then stainless steel.
Lighting
Light is particularly important in the bathroom and the possibilities continue to get better each year. This year, choose large, round bulbs for a studio lighting effect. Also consider experimenting with multiple mirrors as a great way to magnify the light and add interest.
Accessories
The old cliche, "Less is more" definitely applies here as well. With your bathroom designs, accessories, such as towels and wash cloths have become quite popular in solid colors and in minimal quantities. The contrast between the colors found in the accessories should be visible, but subdued. Another popular look is the use of large potted plants, which can add visual interest and texture without distracting from the overall design aesthetic.
Summing up traditional classic is easy if you remember just one word, longevity. It's the most important word to keep in mind when implementing your new bathroom designs and decorating your bath this year. This concept exemplifies the best qualities of traditional classic.
