5 Bathroom Trends to Consider- And 2 to Avoid

Renovating a bathroom? Here are some design trends making headlines:

1) Besides neutrals, blue is the most popular color for bathroom vanities right now. Blues ranging from bright and saturated to almost gray. Blue sinks are less mainstream, but they're quite stunning.

2) Going with dark touches gives a bathroom a sophisticate edge. Black is being used more in patterned tiles for flooring. Black is typiclally the imprint for design with a white or light gray backdrop.

3) Patterned flooring is so appealing because the look is anything but ordinary and reminds us of something from the past, which gives it a sense of familiarity. The most popular floor designs today are classics- chevron, herringbone, and hexagon.

4) Free-standing tubs come in many different materials (cast iron, acrylic), shapes (oval, asymmetrical), and colors (gray, black) for a fresh, modern look.

5) Installing a large shower can be a wonderful trade off, especially with an amazing spalike multi-shower head system. But, potential buyers may not appreciate the value and only see that the home is lacking a bath tub. An especially risky move if future buyers may be parents with smaller children- for them, no tub to bathe their kids in may be a deal breaker.
