10 Trendy Ways to Give Your Bathroom a Luxurious Upgrade
Planning a home renovation can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when it comes to the bathroom. Without a clear vision, it is easy for a project to go over budget or result in a space that feels disjointed.
The simplest way to get ahead of this is to know exactly what you want before you begin! With so many people choosing to update their bathrooms this year, there are some clear trends emerging.
Today we will look at the most popular of these renovations that also bring in an air of opulence.
1. The Floating Vanity
I am absolutely obsessed with this look. The floating vanity is a modern masterpiece that I’m seeing become a staple in contemporary, transitional, and even minimal bathrooms.
You might want to think about getting one made of wood for a really big impact, as wood introduces such warmth and beautiful contrast.
A wooden floating vanity paired with a stone countertop makes the whole space feel so much more special and luxe!
2. Luxe Showers & Rainfall Heads
This one might not seem immediately obvious, but the rainfall shower head is something just about everyone is asking for.
This is where you can truly pamper yourself and focus on something beyond just the aesthetics.
In fact, recent surveys revealed that the rainfall shower head is part of most simple bathroom updates in 2019, which really shows how incredibly popular they are.
3. Stunning Chandeliers
It wasn’t that long ago that putting a chandelier in the bathroom was seen as a little old-fashioned and Victorian. Well, not anymore! The same chandelier is now a sign of total luxury and style.
Whether you go for a cascading chandelier at its most beautiful or one that’s more modern and sleek, the choice really comes down to the style of your bathroom.
4. Impactful Accent Walls
You guys know I always talk about the benefits of a bathroom with neutral colors. But an accent wall is truly the perfect way to bring it to life without overwhelming the room with too much color.
This is a big hit with homeowners no matter the theme or style, and most people are so happy to change up accent colors with the seasons in a neutral space.
5. Chic Mirrored Cabinets
This is a trend that is transforming the look of bathrooms everywhere, and mirrored medicine cabinets have a much bigger impact than you might first think.
They don’t just turn a plain bathroom into a more polished and modern space, they also bring in a sense of visual lightness and brightness.
For smaller bathrooms, these mirrored cabinets can help spread light around and create a more spacious feel.
6. Gleaming New Faucets
There’s nothing quite like a new set of faucets to make a bathroom feel brand new, especially with exposed pipes that have a fresh metallic shine!
Brass is definitely the material I’m seeing everywhere this fall, and I think it’s going to stay at the top of the trends list.
Brass fittings and faucets introduce a golden sparkle to a neutral bathroom and look just as good with a matte finish in vintage or industrial designs. It’s all about finding that perfect balance.
7. The Freestanding Tub
Okay, I’ve been watching this trend come back in a big way over the last couple of years! Modern freestanding tubs are the amazing centerpieces that new, luxurious bathrooms are designed around.
They effortlessly create that spa-inspired atmosphere and wrap you in total comfort!
8. Glamorous Metallic Accents
Metallic details in the bathroom can show up in so many different ways. The easiest method to transform the bathroom’s look and introduce some new metallic shine is to change out the faucets, which is something we can get into more later.
Besides the fixtures, you can also switch old cabinet handles for new ones while carrying that same metal over to your sconce or pendant lighting. This really helps to pull together a more curated and beautiful bathroom.
9. The Perfect Neutral Base
I know this might not feel like a brand new idea, but it’s smart to avoid using a ton of bright colors in the modern bathroom this season.
A neutral space in white, gray, or even a soft yellow lets other pops of color stand out so much more.
It also lets you change up your style without a big effort or a constant drain on your budget. These flexible and fun bathrooms have so much potential.
10. Stylish Ceramic Tile Floors
I’ve seen some gorgeous wood floors in bathrooms, for sure. But even more popular and so durable are ceramic tile floors, which let you bring in pattern and color wherever you need it.
Ceramic tile is a really versatile choice that will work well in the bathroom as you switch between different colors and styles. Just find the tile you love and you’re ready to start your bathroom makeover!
