Black is Back!

Grey was one of the most popular colors in bathroom remodels for the year 2019, but this is a new year. Darker tones have been gaining popularity for a while and truly proliferated this year, as people seem to be gravitating heavily to black to accentuate their bathroom pieces. This trend is most prevalent for light fixtures, vanities, mirrors, and other fixtures with matte finishes.

These create a bold look that contrast well with other amenities and bathroom décor. If you’re fretting about adding black to your bathroom, take heart – gray is still a popular and stylish choice for any bathroom this year. Grey is always a classic, but black is back in style this year.

Bathrooms are Modernizing Everywhere!

Last year, smart toilets were the future of the bathroom. But times move quickly, and now your whole bathroom can truly leap into the 21st century. Many are considering adding their bathroom luxurious, and perhaps even self-indulgent, upgrades, installing smart showers, mini fridges, and automatic sinks to feel like they’re in the lap of luxury.

Homeowners are getting increasingly pickier as well, remodeling their homes to install a plethora of gadgets like smart showers, bringing in a sense of immersion to their showers on a scale never before seen. Automatic shower starters are popular because you can warm it up as you come from work, hassle free.

Brass and Gold are More Stylish than Ever

It’s been awhile since the world last saw gold fixtures, but the times they are a’ changin’. Gold and brass are everywhere now, as people love applying them to sinks, toilets, and any other shiny surfaces in the bathroom this year.

These aren’t your grandparents’ colors, however, as the new gold is warm toned for a more cozy, open feel. The new brass adds a degree of depth, dimension and luxury to even the drabbest bathrooms, perfect for spicing up a boring, stale fixture. These colors are flexible too, coming in a satin, matte, or spun gold finish to add subtle changes to the aesthetic.

Industrial Style Sinks and Vanities

This is a bold choice and not for the faint of heart. However, the trend is quickly growing in popularity and will be everywhere within a few years. Industrial vanities boast a wide range of finishes, accents, and tile patterns for those who want endless customizability.

They’re also sleek and modern, a new look for a new decade which matches the optimism and future aesthetic of the early 21st century. This vanities are great for smaller apartments but can also fit snugly in your small-hall bathroom. Edgy, but classy, you should consider adding an industrial vanity to your bathroom to keep up with evolving tastes and the newest trends.

A New World of Tile Patterns and Shapes

On top of a resurgence of traditional tiles, manufacturers are making tile shapes in all new technologically driven and creative ways. There are a plethora of new and interesting shapes, including hexagons, arabesques, diamonds, Moroccan fish scales, and chevron patterns.

These are replete with colors and textures to give your bathroom the perfect look no matter what style or period you’re going for. Finally, these tiles can be placed wherever you want; they’re not designed for any one area, meaning you can add them to your floor, backsplashes, or walls. This flexibility creates bold accents and gestalts to tie your bathroom together with a neat little bow.

Bathroom trends for 2020 are new and exciting. From colors and shapes, to patterns and textures, if you’ve been itching to remodel your bathroom, there’s certainly never been a better time than this year.
