February 24, 2016

Are you wondering about the hot bathroom trends for 2016? Maison Valentina has compiled a list of them, using insights we discovered from a variety of different sources: residential architects, trade associations, remodeling companies, contractors, interior designers, real estate agents, real estate stagers, retailers and their bestseller lists, Internet search query trend data and homeowners who are remodeling.

For 2016 consumers are interested in the following bathroom elements:

FREESTANDING TUBS

Built-in bathtubs are declining in popularity. Freestanding bathtubs are the preferred bathtub of choice among 2016’s trendsetters.

When you’re initially designing your bathroom layout, freestanding tubs offer a lot of flexibility in their placement. Interestingly, some people are choosing to put their freestanding tubs inside their shower areas.

WHITE BATHROOMS

White is one of the top luxury bathroom colors for 2016. White bathroom fixtures are in strong demand, as are white bathroom tiles and bath accessories as well. White is an outstanding color to use in your bathroom no matter what your style, whether it’s modern, contemporary, traditional or transitional.

GREY BATHROOMS

Grey has been a trendy color for the past few years, and it’s still going strong for 2016. If plain grey or a combination of grey and white doesn’t excite you much, remember that grey can take on any other color as an undertone. As a result, if you’re careful in contemplating the undertones of the specific paint colors you’ll be using in your color scheme, you can combine grey with just about any other color you might want to use in your bathroom. For example, we’ve been seeing a lot of grey and turquoise combinations around; this works because the greys being used are greenish-bluish-greys that complement the turquoise perfectly.

POLISHED METAL FINISHES

In 2016, expect more polished metal finishes and less matte. Brass has been a hit for this year, but you can go full-on metal come 2016. From gold, silver, platinum, stainless, brushed steel – metals sure will be back in full strength. These finishes are perfect to grace you cabinet knobs and even your faucets.
