Statement Lighting

Statement Lighting

Traditionally, bathroom lighting consists of an understated overhead light and some lights above the vanity. In 2021, designers are getting more creative and adding some interest and sophistication to bathrooms with more ornate fixtures. Chandeliers are a popular option that range from modern and industrial to more conservative.

Colorful Subway Tiles

Subway tiles have long been used in bathrooms, but they typically come in white and help to create a clean, crisp look. This year, subway tiles are getting an update with some added color.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper

Wallpaper was all the rage in the 1980s, but the paper was difficult to hang and even more of a pain to remove, which led to it falling out of fashion. However, in recent years, wallpaper has been enjoying a comeback. Today’s patterns are bolder and more sophisticated than ever and they provide the perfect way to dress up a bathroom.

Architectural Tubs

Tubs are becoming the centerpiece of bathroom design. Deep, soaking tubs made from natural elements are popular along with more ornate tubs that include architectural details. Designers are also using tubs to incorporate a bit of color into the room. Instead of the usual white tub, they are including stone grey or marbled neutral tones.  

Back-Lit Mirrors

Vanity lights above the mirror are being replaced with softly back-lit mirrors. This helps to create a more modern look with clean lines.

Wood-Look Tiles
