Thinking about remodeling? Well, today’s home renovators go straight to the bathroom because this room has become the most popular room in the house. What’s hot for 2020? How about blasts from the past. Some of the top trends take Americans back a century or more with fixtures and privacy that was a thing of the past. Five Star Plumbing can help with the plumbing portion of your bathroom renovation, so consider some of the following trends to keep your bathrooms in style and you in luxury.
Freestanding Fixtures
Forget tubs and sinks affixed to the walls. Freestanding is the way to go in 2020. It used to be freestanding tubs where only you could take a bath, and then we were introduced to showers. Today’s freestanding tubs have shower wands so that you can enjoy the luxury of a tub bath or shower in a traditional claw-foot fixture. Popular sinks are also freestanding in 2020, his and hers, and both give your bathroom a 19th-century or early 20th-century feel.
Accent Walls
We’re plumbers, not painters, so we can’t help you with this, but many people add accent walls to their bathrooms in 2020. This gives your bathroom a focal point. You can choose the wall in front of your freestanding bathroom sinks to stand or perhaps the wall behind your toilet. Popular accent wall choices include brick, marble, and mosaic tile. If you’re working with a tight budget, a painted or mirrored accent wall will still create an impression.
Toilet Closets
Speaking of toilets, many people are going back a few centuries and closeting off their toilets. These were called toilet closets in their day and, basically, they are a separate, enclosed space for the toilet. This gives people privacy, and if you have children, you know how important privacy is. You can design the toilet closet aesthetically pleasing with paint color choices; small, decorative shelving; modern lighting; and even a small, private window for fresh air.
Heated Flooring
If you have money to burn, why not install heated flooring while renovating the rest of the bathroom? This keeps the bathroom floor toasty when you wake up at night and walk across it to the toilet closet. It also gives your feet a treat when you step out of the freestanding tub. Other luxurious 2020 bathroom trends include waterfall showers with accent lights, chandeliers – now that’s luxurious – and brand new matte bathroom fixtures and track lighting.
