Bright, white colors are always timeless. You can use a hint of ivory or even an eggshell white, but using whites will keep your bathroom relevant. Trendy or bold colors will go out of style quickly. If you do want splashes of color, use your decor and accent pieces to bring in that design aspect.
Navy and gray are on the way out
Yes, while gray has seen an uninterrupted reign over recent paint trends, its reign may conclude in 2022. However, this shift is perhaps only expected in the interiors world, as Anthony Barzilay Freund, the editorial director at 1stDibs, explains.
1. Black and white. A simple color palette is always the best, most enduring choice, particularly in the bathroom.
Consider timeless styles over trendy ones
Kyser prefers natural materials, such as travertine, granite, and tumbled stone tile as options with universal appeal. Differently shaped tiles also have an established history in old homes. "Penny tiles are huge," says Tisha.
Well, square tiles are kind of on their way out. I mean, they'll never be totally out, but the trend is moving toward wood-look planks. The exception to this is the bathroom, where large format tile is still super trendy and probably will be for a good, long time.
Neutrals are easy to coordinate with other décor, no matter what style you choose, and unlike the current year's hot color scheme, subtly-hued elements like beige tile flooring will never look dated.
While marble flooring is certainly not a new interior style trend, it will take on a new flooring trend in 2020. While you can install marble flooring throughout your entire home, adding a pop of marble flooring in the master bathroom, foyer, kitchen, or living room is a perfect way to use the stone.
Tile Sizes & Shapes
The tried-and-true 12” x 12” tiles are still popular, but tiles are tending to be larger and larger. Sizes like 16” x 16”, 12” x 24” and even 24” x 48” are becoming more prevalent. Large-format tiles have fewer grout lines to clean and help a room look bigger, more open and less busy.
White marble will never go out of style—but while we're living through a veritable Carrara shortage, can we turn to other equally appealing stones? Whether your pick is a beautiful dark-blue marble or travertine, it's time to let other materials shine.
The freestanding bathtub is a current bathroom remodeling trend that may soon be going out of style. Like vessel sinks, freestanding bathtubs create more areas in your bathroom to clean because of the water and dirt that can get stuck between the floor and the bottom of the tub.
Sculptural taps. While the best bathroom taps have been becoming progressively more elegant, beautiful and exciting over recent years – think elongated spouts, surprising material choices and experimentation with bold finishes – 2022 is the time that tap design really steps into the spotlight.
While all-white makes for a sleek look, the trend has grown tiresome. White will always be around, but be sure to include some pops of color so your bathroom doesn't look too sterile.
Timeless Finishes
When it comes to faucet finishes, look to Arctic Stainless or Polished Nickel. Arctic Stainless finish is the classic's classic, tried and true in presentation and tone.
An all-white palette
Whether you prefer a classic-looking bathroom or a spalike retreat, Winn says, “white doesn't go out of style.” Think white paint, tile, countertops, vanities and textiles. If you find yourself craving color, you can add it with window treatments and towels, Gates suggests, or wallpaper and art.
Shape & Pattern
Traditional encaustic tiles have been around for a long time, but that style is now having a resurgence evident in styles such as the Swing collection. Shapes are different and more interesting too, not just squares and rectangles. Scallops, chevrons, pencil, hexagon, and kite shapes are all trending.
Move over, marble — it's travertine's time to shine. It may be 2021 — but you wouldn't know it from looking at the current lineup of design trends. Everything from bright colors to bold patterns to squiggly shapes have returned from the 1980s this year, pointing to a renewed embrace of the maximalist decade.
Many people believe that travertine is outmoded and that it is no longer a good choice, but this is not the case. Travertine tiles or pavers are increasingly being used in modern construction projects due to their proven durability and long-lasting beauty.
Travertine may have helped build Ancient Rome, but these days in the United States, it's lost some of its shine. The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown the entire world's economy off its stride, but for travertine, the stumble began well before February and March of this year.
Ceramic and porcelain are good options for small living rooms, as are any other tiles that come in white, beige, or cream colors. Light colors make a room look more open. Ultimately, you want your tiles to be a color you won't mind looking at every day.
The neutral colors of gray and white go well with beige tiles as they keep the room clean and won't obscure its features. Grey and white tiles have both different variations of their color, so you will always find one that matches your tiles no matter the temperature of their surface.
