Bathroom to Sanctuary

October 1, 2023

Aesthetics, sustainability, technology… Are those words you would associate with your bathroom? Design in the home is becoming just as savvy as our world around us. We want a place of respite, but with all the modern conveniences we’re accustomed to. As we look into the coming year, residential bathrooms are a big area of homes that will get an epic upgrade.

ECO-WARRIOR

Does this term describe you? Are you beginning to concern yourself with your eco-footprint? Conservation and eco-friendliness are to be found everywhere. Sustainability brought about by water-saving fixtures with intelligent usage is one route to take. Touch-less faucets, tech savvy fixtures that help to customize water temperature and flow are luxuries that can make a difference.

NATURALIST

Another term that doesn’t necessarily make you think of your bathroom. Natural materials are quickly becoming the most sought after finishes for your home retreat. A sanctuary is created1using organic materials like wood and stone and even incorporating live plants. This usage of finishes and combination of materials make for a pleasing sensory experience which promotes relaxation in your home oasis.

VINTAGEE

Everything old always becomes new again. Have you ever had the luxury of relaxing in a deep, claw-foot, porcelain bathtub? It’s incredible! Free-standing tubs like this nestled in a vintage styled room will be popular. Intricate tile patterns, antique color palettes, patterned wallpapers and brass fixtures all help to make the bathroom a room to enjoy even more.

HYBRID

Hybrid isn’t solely reserved for automobiles. Try blending sleek modernity with rustic charm. “Envision a space where cutting-edge vanities are off-set by reclaimed wood or contemporary mirrors meet vintage light fixtures” (quote from decorilla.com). You think the two of these aesthetics should never meet, but the marrying of two very different styles really makes for interesting design. It’s captivating and makes a current style timeless.

MOOD

Mood can be achieved in many ways. One sure-fire mood setter is good lighting. Everyone looks good in candlelight and you sure want to look good in the bathroom! Lighting is transformative and your bathroom lighting should be designed to adapt to your needs, function or mood! Or set the mood in artistic ways. Tile has definitely improved and advanced over time. Tile is taking center stage in bathroom design. You can choose to go bold and vibrant and use tile to make a statement, or be subtle and memorable with a classic color and pattern. Either way, tile can set a mood. Every room in your home should give you good feelings, but your bathroom is where you go to rest and recharge. Let our expert design team create a bathroom in your home that you want to retreat to. Enjoy your home again. Every room. We’re here to help your design dreams come true!

Stylishly yours,
