The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the house, not to mention one of the most important for resale value. So it makes sense that you focus on remodeling these spaces to improve their look and function.
However, not all home improvements are the same. If you’re looking to create a modern-looking bathroom, there are certain aspects from flooring to color choices that can help you achieve what you’re going for.
Read on to learn 5 bathroom remodeling trends for 2020 that continue to be popular.
1. High Gloss Tiles
Vinyl and stone tiles are a good choice for bathrooms because of their resistance to moisture. However, while tiles have long been the preference for many homeowners, high gloss tiles are seeing more popularity this year.
Not only do high gloss tiles offer a fashionable sheen, but they’re also easier to clean than some matte tiles. These shiny tiles are also becoming a bigger choice for bathroom and shower walls.
2. New Mirrors
The bathroom mirror is an important aspect of any bathroom remodel. After all, you rely on it for applying makeup, shaving, and more.
However, you’re not limited to oval or rectangular mirrors that you see in many bathrooms. You can opt for custom mirrors that (literally) reflect your personal styles and taste, and match with the decor.
3. Stone Sinks
Instead of the standard vanity with a built-in sink, you could opt for a natural stone sink that is mounted to the wall.
They work well in a powder room with earthy tones (also trendy this year), giving a rustic feel while being trendy at the same time. However, keep in mind they may be a bit tougher to clean than ceramic versions.
4. Trendy Tubs
If you’re bored with the oval-shaped tub, then it might be time for new ideas to take shape. But increasingly, people are turning to alternatives such as longer tubs and even round tubs coupled with a shower that has a modern feel.
You’ll want to assess the practicality of your tub shape for who’s using it. But investing in a new tub is a great way to add style to the bathroom.
5. Smart Toilets and Other Automation
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing due to technology, meaning you can automate more things in your bathroom. That could mean showers that turn on automatically to your heat and pressure preferences, and smart toilets that flush when you’re done.
You may also be able to set the temperature controls using your voice commands or play your favorite music while you sing along in the shower. With all of this technology, you can turn your bathroom visit into more of a spa experience!
