Bathroom Trends for 2021
Just a few years ago, you could spot a premium bath by its built-in jetted tub and dual sinks. Now these features can give home buyers the feeling a bathroom is dated.
Soaking and Hydrotherapy Tubs
Recent trends in bath design showcase freestanding tubs as a centerpiece of bath design. Consumer usage trends show that many people rarely use the jetted feature on their tubs and because they can also be harder to maintain, newer homes often include graceful, freestanding soaking tubs instead. Kohler has a large selection of freestanding soaking tubs as well as new hydrotherapy baths that provide the therapeutic benefits of a jetted tub but in a freestanding model that is easier to keep up. Some models even included heating elements that remove that cold feeling when you lean against the back of the tub. The right bathtub can create such an immersive spa experience you hardly want to use your other rooms.
Sinks as Furniture
Trends in sinks have moved to paired sinks on individual stands that often look more like furniture than the combined two sink stations common in many homes built until the early 2000s. Builders and home buyers today prefer the elegance of bath designs common in high end hotels such as The Corinthian in London or Casa del Mar in Santa Monica.
If you are in the market up update your bathroom, now is a great time to do it. Contact John’s Lumber or stop by our Clinton Twp. or Shelby Twp. locations to speak with one of our designers.
2019 Kitchen & Bath Trends
2019 is going to be an exciting year for interior design. Many trends have appeared that are completely transforming the look and atmosphere in the most used rooms in your home. Which trend will you incorporate this year?
- Sinks That Are a Work of Art
Until recently, sinks were usually a smooth basin in the kitchen and bathroom. Today, things are really heating up under the fixtures. Ornate sinks in hammered finishes, metallic tones, and more are making appearances. Some feature intricate designs that are sure to grab attention.
- Voice Controlled Everything
With the growing popularity of smart appliances, Google Home, and Alexa, voice control is now available in the kitchen and bathroom. This technology allows homeowners to interact with everything from refrigerators and stoves to vanity mirrors and light switches.
- White Is Out, and Color Is In
There’s no denying the white kitchen’s place as a timeless classic. However, 2019 trends are moving away from that. Color is in – including rich, alluring tones in the kitchen. Even the appliances are showing up in unique hues. Chrome is being replaced with bold red, blue, yellow, and black.
- Engineered Quartz for Countertops
Another trend that’s spreading in popularity is engineered quartz for countertops. Granite was always number one, but engineered quartz is on the rise.
We’re going to see some beautiful changes in kitchen and bath design this year. It’s a great time to find inspiration for your home.
