Remodeling your home’s primary bathroom is a major investment in terms of both time and money, so it is extremely important to do your homework before you ever start work.

Making sure you decide on a budget and looking around to find the right designer are both extremely important pre-renovation tasks that you need to complete, and once you have done so, you can start coming up with your new bathroom wish list.

Taking these steps before work begins will ensure that you have a clear vision of how you want your remodeled bathroom to look, function, and feel. If you are looking around for inspiration, however, a good place to start is by looking up some of the latest bathroom remodeling trends.

This can help you get on the right track and nail down exactly what it is that you are looking for from your Lansing bathroom remodeling project. To help you with this, we have compiled a list of some of the most sought-after bathroom remodeling trends going into the foreseeable future.

Wood

In recent years, timber has been making a serious foray into the bathroom remodeling scene. With the release of new purpose-designed timber products, the naturally warm look and feel of wood is finding its way into many new spaces that it wasn’t previously suited for.

There are a number of unexpected ways to incorporate wood into your new bathroom design, some of the most popular of which are using this material as an accent on walls or your sink. There are even purpose-designed wood floorboards that are particularly suited to your bathroom floor.

Cool & Calm Color Tones

Cool color tones help to create a more tranquil environment and are projected to be big in bathroom designs going for the foreseeable future. Blues and emerald greens are two particularly popular picks right now, and you can pair these with crisp whites and little touches of wood to create a fresh and uplifting feel for your bathroom. On the other hand, you could go for more of a team theme with metallic accents and rustic materials if you are looking for a more sophisticated and edgy design.

Creative Tile Patterns

Patterned and geometric tiles were the go-to popular choice for tiles over the last few years, but that is all expected to change in the coming year. Classic, basic tiles that are laid down in interesting and unusual patterns are quickly blasting their way into the spotlight and creating an enduring appeal that is becoming extremely popular with homeowners. Some of the most popular options in this style are classic herringbone design, basket weave, and windmill patterns.

Natural Vibe

Wood isn’t the only natural material that looks to be trending in bathroom design lately. You can also expect to see a variety of other earthy materials like natural stone and river rock to make a serious return on your investment. These types of natural materials aren’t just popular on your floor or walls; however, they are also being used as vanity tops, sinks, baths, feature walls, and even bathroom furniture.

Natural materials that contrast with each other and offer a visual and tactile texture to your bathroom are helping homeowners turn their bathrooms into a sanctuary. Another great way to get a natural look for your remodeled bathroom is to opt for a kiln-fired or polished-stone sink instead of a standard porcelain one.
