2017 Bathroom Trends

Staying on top of the latest trends in home decor isn’t for everyone, but even for tradionalists, it can be fun to incorporate some new ideas.  Here are five bathroom decor trends that are appearing in 2017.

1. Geometric Patterns: Many homeowners are selecting bold patterns in geometric shapes, like chevrons, triangles or hexagons.  These patterns can add intrigue and continuity to your tile or shower curtain.
2. Plants: Even the best-designed bathrooms can benefit from some small plants.  If you have a windowless bathroom, there are some low-light options that can survive on little maintenance.
3. Dark Colors:  This can be tricky to achieve, but it comes with a big pay off.  While traditional bathrooms are often painted with brighter whites and greys, opting for dark colors can make a bathroom seem more luxurious and relaxing.  Imagine sinking into a deep bath with dim lighting -that might convey the appeal of a darker palette.
4. Brass Hardware: Trends often come back around, and this year, brass fixtures of the ’70’s are popular once again
5. Minimalism: The massive master bathroom is still great, but there’s also some appeal in smaller bathroom design.  Minimalism allows for smaller spaces to feel more intimate, but still airy and open.
