Although the bathroom is often the smallest room in the house, it is not the least important. When you’re in the bathroom, you are typically relaxed, settled and observant. It’s where you start and end your days. If you are considering updating your home this year, the experts at Alair Homes Edmonton have the know-how to help you achieve any of these top looks from 2015.
1. Teak Accents
Teak is a hardwood that comes from the tropics, so it is meant to linger in hot, humid environments. Teak is perfect for your bathroom countertop or as an alternative to a bath rug.
2. The Farmhouse Look
As we move into more modern times, bathroom décor is experiencing nostalgia. Down-to-earth details like beadboard and exposed bulbs help you incorporate a rustic feel into your bathroom.
3. Eclectic Combinations
No one will ever call you boring if you infuse your bathroom with personality. Some of the most popular bathrooms of 2015 included unexpected, customized touches that were quirkily out of place.
4. Texture
When you think of a bathroom, you may imagine clean lines and slick surfaces. Rougher natural textures like knotted wood and coarse stones provide interesting contrast.
5. Open Storage
Don’t hide everything behind closed doors. Vanities with open shelving look more like furniture and open up small spaces.
6. Wall-Mounted Vanities
To provide an even more open look in a small bathroom, don’t bother with furniture and hang the sink directly on the wall.
7. Industrial Appeal
Concrete isn’t just a flooring material. Concrete vanities look modern and polished without being too fussy.
8. Upcycled Sinks
Repurposed antique furniture can be customized to hold a sink, hide plumbing fixtures and provide storage.
9. Neutral Tones
Gray was one of the primary color selections for bathrooms in 2015.
10. Shadowy Spaces
Darker bathrooms made the cut in 2015, with charcoals and chocolates heading up popular color schemes.
11. Beachy Décor
What better place is there to add a nautical theme evocative of the seashore than a bathroom?
12. Hipster Vibes
The combination of vintage and modern made its way into 2015 bathrooms with subway tiles, combinations of wood and glass, and retro artwork.
13. Airy Master Bathrooms
A trend in master suites was leaving the shower and dressing area open to the sleeping space.
14. Matching Walls and Floors
A common theme involved extending the floor tile all the way up the walls to the ceiling.
15. Detached Bathtubs
Whether claw-foot or contemporary, free-standing bathtubs act as standalone furniture.
16. Subway Tile
This classic theme is bound to stick around year after year.
17. The Honeycomb Look
Small tiles weren’t always abundant. Large hexagonal tiles were popular installations in walls and floors.
18. 3-D Tiles
Tiles with texture were a standout in 2015.
19. Porcelain Floor Planks
Long, narrow floor tiles that are printed to look like hardwood stand up to moisture and bring warmth to a bathroom.
20. Pendant Lights
Instead of settling for standard vanity lights, suspend a lamp or two from the ceiling for a completely different atmosphere.
