A new year means new trends — so do you know what’s in style for 2017? Whether you’re thinking about remodeling your master bath, planning a new build or just curious about what modern bathroom trends are growing in popularity today, here’s a look at what you can expect to be hot in bathrooms over the coming year. From former trends with staying power like the white-and-gray look that’s still in vogue to newer trends like the move away from whirlpool tubs, understanding trends can help you comprehend the home design market today. With that in mind, here are some of the top bathroom trends for 2017.
White and gray.
When it comes to color, a clean palette of white, off-white and gray continues to be beloved in all kinds of homes. This simple color scheme is still one of the most popular. 2017 will likely continue to see bright, light bathrooms that feature these hues.
But also blue and violet.
Less hot than white but gaining traction are hues like blue, violet and purple, all of which are especially popular among younger, newer design professionals. If you’re interested in a bolder choice than the tame whites and grays popping up everywhere, going with these shades is on trend.
Out with the whirlpool tubs.
In terms of today’s bathroom trends, jetted tubs are losing steam. While these luxury features were once a hot bathroom trend, today’s homeowners are more interested in skipping the tub or whirlpool in favor of free-standing tubs or shower enclosures.
In with the single slab tile.
While single slab tile can be costly, it creates an uninterrupted finish and adds some waterproofing benefits. In 2017, be on the lookout for more modern bathroom showers featuring this sort of tile.
Curbless showers.
These modern bathroom showers open a bathroom, create a seamless line of vision throughout the room, expand the feeling of spaciousness, and look clean and minimal. Because curbless showers are at once luxurious and simple, they are growing in popularity and making the list of 2017 bathroom trends.
Patterned tiles.
Expect to see more patterned tiles in the bathroom, both on floors and in showers. Featuring bold, intricate designs or modern, geographic shapes, these tiles mimic the feel of detailed carpet or artwork, creating eye-catching style in the bath.
Hanging artwork.
Making the bathroom feel like another living space in the home is on trend for 2017, and that means you can expect to see more retrofitted vanities, more decorative touches and, especially, hanging artwork in the bathroom. From bold wallpapers to gallery walls of prints, today’s bathrooms are as much about beauty as they are about practicality.
Attractive rugs.
Another way that bathrooms are feeling more like living spaces is through the rugs that top the floors. Gone are yesterday’s fluffy bathmats, and in their place are small throw rugs that you might find anywhere else in the home. Used to showcase personal style and create a cozier feel in the bathroom, these rugs are definitely on trend for 2017.
Five-star feel.
Anything that can make a bathroom feel more like a five-star hotel and less like a normal bathroom is on trend this year. Think Instagram-worthy flooring and spa-level toiletries. People also like open shelves for displaying their brand-name luxury items.
Wall-mounted faucets.
Saving space and creating a more minimal feel at the vanity, wall-mounted faucets are gaining in popularity. They can be easier to clean, create a custom feel, and make the most of small bathroom spaces.
Eye-catching lights.
Lighting makes a huge impact in the bathroom, both in terms of aiding visibility at the vanity and in terms of creating impressive style. Hang a glamorous chandelier or add a bold light fixture to make a statement in the bathroom while also infusing it with fresh personality.
Bold cabinets.
Both free-standing furniture turned into vanities and bold vanity colors like black and navy are trending in 2017. These daring options provide endless ways to make a bathroom unique and stunning, especially when paired with crisp white counters and modern fixtures.
