Smart Renovations: 10 Trendiest Ways to Give your Bathroom a Luxurious Upgrade

ByMyProperty Life

Home renovations take up a fair bit of energy and resources. They can be really taxing if you are not properly prepared and do not plan ahead. This is truer in case of bathroom renovations and the easiest way to get around this conundrum is to know what you exactly want! As simple as that sounds, most homeowners often change plans on the fly and that can ultimately lead to a disjointed bathroom or unnecessary waste of time and resources. 2019 has been a year where homeowners have veered more towards bathroom renovations rather than kitchen makeovers for some unknown reason. And today we take a look at the trendiest of these bathroom renovations that also usher in an air of opulence –

1. Freestanding Bathtub

The comeback of freestanding bathtub is one that we have seen unfold in front of our very own eyes over the last few years. Modern freestanding bathtubs are the central pieces around which luxurious, new-age bathrooms are built. They easily bring home the spa-inspired look and do so while enveloping you in comfort!

2. Awesome Accent Walls

We always harp on about the virtues of a bathroom in neutral hues. But adding an accent wall is the best way to enliven it without flooding the room with too much color. This is a hit among homeowners irrespective of style and theme of the bathroom and most homeowners are all too happy when it comes to changing accent colors seasonally in the neutral bathroom.

4. A Dazzling Chandelier

It was not too long ago when adding a chandelier to the bathroom was considered something ‘Victorian and outdated’. Not any longer, as the same chandelier is now viewed as a sign of luxury and style in the bathroom. Be it the cascading chandelier at its beautiful best or one that is just more contemporary and sleek, the choice in here depends on the style of the bathroom itself.

5. Spacious Showers with Rainfall Shower Heads

This might not really come as an obvious choice in bathrooms taking shape this year, but the rainfall shower head is one that almost everyone wants. This is where you pamper yourself and think much beyond sheer aesthetics. Recent surveys have shown that the rainfall shower head is the piece that is involved in most simple bathroom makeovers in 2019 – something that showcases their immense popularity.

6. Metallic Accents

Metallic accents in the bathroom come in a variety of forms. The easiest way to alter the look of the bathroom and add new metallic glint to it is by changing the faucets; something we will get into later. Other than the fitting, you can also swap out the old cabinet handles for new ones while using similar metal when it comes to sconce or pendant lights in the bathroom. This helps in creating a more curated and pleasing bathroom.

7. Floating Vanity

The floating vanity is a modern bathroom masterpiece that is increasingly becoming a must in modern, transitional and minimal spaces. You might want to consider one in wood for an even greater impact as wood brings warmth and contrast to the modern bathroom. A wooden floating vanity with stone countertop only makes the setting even more special and luxurious!

8. A Neutral Backdrop

This might not sound like anything new in itself, but do stay away from using bright colors extensively in the modern kitchen this season or even in the winter ahead. A neutral bathroom in white, gray or mellow yellow can allow other accent colors to shine through without much effort. It also lets you switch between styles without much effort or placing a constant demand on your resources. Adaptable and fun, these bathrooms hold ample potential.

9. Mirrored Medicine Cabinets

A trend that is changing the look of bathrooms across the globe, mirrored medicine cabinets make an impact that is much larger than you would initially imagine. Not only do they turn the boring bathroom into a more sophisticated space with modernity, but they also add visual lightness and brightness. In small bathrooms, these mirrored cabinets help spread light more evenly and give it a spacious appeal.

10. Sparkling New Faucets

Nothing helps a bathroom shine through like a new set of faucets and exposed pipes and plumbing with a newfound metallic glint! Brass is the material of choice this fall and is likely to top the trends chart in the months ahead as well. Brass fittings and faucets add golden glitter to the neutral bathroom and look good even with a matte finish in vintage and industrial spaces. It is always about finding that perfect balance…

    Architects: Augusto Fernández Mas (K+A Diseño),
    Mauricio Miranda (MM Desarrollos),
    Mariel Esquivel and Cesar Cardoso. Construction: K+A Diseño Main Purveyors: MicMac, Solesdi y Venster. Interior decoration: TAI Arquitectura de Interiores Photography: Onnis Luque The linear black cabin was designed by the collaboration between Augusto Fernández Mas and Mauricio Miranda as a country house for a client with three specific demands: simple layout, low maintenance, and living quarters and public areas in one floor. RA.L7 is located within Rancho Avandaro Country Club in the outskirts of Valle de Bravo, an hour and a halve drive from Mexico City. It is a project that portrays a strong character form the outside but at the same time invites passersby to enter. In the inside, it offers a warm cabin like feeling that through its simplicity and windows facing the golf course, guides the view to the outside. The lower concrete volume ads a sense of solidity and stability to the house, and its layout divided by a garage open on both sides provides an invitation to enter. [
    The project uses the topography of the terrain to its advantage, thus generating two volumes: the upper one which encloses the living and general public areas and the bottom one encompassing the garage, technical and service areas. The outside materials are Japanese style burnt wood (Shou-sugi-ban), Canadian darkened wood, concrete, and ceramic tiles (roof) that in turn evidence the simple lines of the design. The choice of materials demands close to null maintenance.
    The west façade, which faces the street, has dark wood symmetric divisions over the main interior hallway, creating privacy at an angle and almost unrestricted view when perpendicular to them. The purpose is to allow light into the house and permit the views to the equestrian club on the other side of the street while maintaining limited exposure to passersby’s. The east façade faces the golf course, thus there is an honest openness through all glass façade with sliding window doors and complemented with a glass-roofed terrace. In attention to the requested simplicity in the layout, the linear internal distribution has four rooms laid in a sequential manner culminating with living—room, dining-room and kitchen. One dramatic hallways communicates all areas in a straight line, adding to the simplicity of the design layout. With over 650 square meters of inside space, only one internal staircase was employed to communicate with the service areas and garage. There are two accesses to the house without stairs for the owner to comfortably access. In total, the terrain is 2,200 square meters of which ___ square meters were used for the house.
    There is a comforting feeling of warmth inside, but the same time opens up to go and enjoy the outside. It is to be lived inside wanting to be outside and, once outside, feeling invited to be protected inside. The linear and simple geometry of the house is soothed by the layout of the wood beams on the ceiling and the elegant and at the same time rough aspect of the wood floor and wood paneling on the walls. RA.L7 house is one of two recent projects done by the collaboration of Augusto Fernandez and Mauricio Miranda in Rancho Avandaro. Augusto Fernandez, through its K+A Diseño firm, is an active architect and constructor in Valle de Bravo with several country homes competed in the last years. Photography is by Onnis Luque.
