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.

The ceramic tile is a flexible addition that will serve you well in the bathroom even as you switch between styles and colors.

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It was not too long ago when adding a chandelier to the bathroom was considered something ‘Victorian and outdated’.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…

    Architect: building Lab Our clients were young newlyweds who purchased this property in October, 2015. They were passionate about mid-century designs and all things retro and they had grand visions for their first home. They wanted it to be a standout in the neighborhood where they could entertain family and friends in style. After a thorough whole-house remodel and expansion with structural and foundation upgrades, the homeowners, who welcomed a new member (a baby boy) to the household, are now living in a completely transformed modern beauty with sleek and comfortable interiors and spacious outdoor areas. To Open or Close? We removed some walls and created an open and enlarged kitchen. To allow for maximum connection of the kitchen/dining area to the backyard, an existing post was removed and ceiling joists were extended to connect with a structural fascia. But instead of leaving a vast amount of common areas, we coopted some of those spaces to create an additional guest room/study. The same theme of openness and definition applies to the landscape design: low walls, hardscapes, outdoor kitchen, and fire pit define spaces for cooking, al fresco dining, play, and lounging. A Dining Pod
    In a bold stroke, our clients decided to forgo a formal dining area. Instead, they opted for a glorified eat-in kitchen with custom built benches and live edge waterfall table. This pod continues the strategy of capturing and articulating special areas within a large open concept. It is the core that serves myriad functions such as dining and entertaining, newspaper reading, and possible homework station in the near future. Master Pavilion A House Within A House: Instead of just expanding into the backyard horizontally, the ceiling of the newly created master suite was raised 4’. Since the addition called for reframing and building new foundations, building Lab’s designers made use of the opportunity to rethink the whole concept of this parents’ retreat. By raising the ceiling, and adding a long skylight above the head of the bed, the master bedroom is dramatically infused with natural light. The space feels expansive and tranquil, and this feeling is carried through in the master bath. The simple elegance of the master bath is achieved through both effective space planning and restrained material palettes. Most of the fixtures and cabinetry are installed on one side of this very long room. The walls on both sides are clad with Resysta®, a sustainable material made with recycled rice husks, salt, and mineral oil. The natural wood look of this cladding adds to the spa ambience and the entirely glass end wall creates a dramatic one-point perspective. All white console sink, cabinetry, and a sculptural tub complete the look.
