HEARTH & HOME
Bold Color and Fabrics The most luxurious bathrooms designed for 2018 are more than just a place to shower and fix your hair – they are retreats with space to unwind and relax before dipping into the bath . Seating areas with comfy chairs , lush throws , bookshelves , and even tables for drinks , offer the feeling of a true spa experience . To complete the inviting look , use navy or teal blue as a featured wall color or decorative tile pop .
Wood Features Wood accent walls , bleached wood vanities , wooden floating shelves - the on-trend bathrooms today add warmth and contrast with wood . A large walk-in shower , for example , with wood ( or wood-look porcelain tile ) can give a bathroom a much-needed injection of nature .
Swap Out Chrome and Nickel Finishes While they may not be technically outdated , chrome and nickel are " safe ." If luxury and high style top your list for bathroom renovation qualities , it ’ s time to try something new . Matte black fixtures look great with white tile and dark grout . Brass , gold and copper are all back on the scene , providing warm accents to the cooler gray tones that dominate walls , floors and counters . If you ’ re really daring , rose gold is the newest metal to show up in the bathroom .
Bathroom renovations are some of the biggest projects a homeowner can take on , and because we spend so much time in our bathrooms , luxury is an oft-desired level of comfort . Stick with high-quality materials and classic color combinations for true beauty that will last for years to come .
