Building a custom home requires getting creative when it comes to deciding on the layout and design of the interior setting. Besides the kitchen and bedrooms, the bathrooms are one of the main areas that require careful planning to ensure that they look contemporary. When working with a contractor, there a few bathroom trends to consider for your custom home build.

Nickel Faucets

Brass and gold fixtures may still be a popular style to find in residential buildings. Nickel faucets are also becoming more common because they look clean and modern. Consider installing a faucet that has polished chrome or warm nickel to make the bathroom have more visual appeal.

The light color of the faucet is a safe option for those who don’t want the bathroom to look overly trendy. It can still be paired with black or bronze accent features. These won’t show water spots that develop throughout the week when using the sink.

Contemporary Style

One of the top looks for bathrooms is a contemporary and transitional style that is slightly eclectic and original. Instead of making all of the features uniform in the room in your home, transitional styles incorporate different items that are both modern and antique. It’s easy to mix some of your favorite elements in one place and avoid worrying about making everything identical. Consider installing paneled cabinet doors with urban subway tiles, which can allow you to obtain styles from different periods.

Freestanding Bathtubs

Freestanding bathtubs have been becoming trendier in the past years due to their beauty and antique design. They contribute to the overall style of the room and offer a place to relax. Due to the many years of walk-in showers, more homeowners are wanting to soak in the suds and have a different way to bathe.

Multiple Gray Color Shades

Not only is gray a popular color choice for 2018, but it’s being used in a new way by mixing different gray color shades. This looks gorgeous when paired with crisp white and a touch of black. Brighter color shades have often been used in bathrooms in past years, but gray is ideal because it maintains a light and airy setting that feels spacious but is still cozy.

Consider painting the walls dark gray and adding a lighter shade on the cabinets, which will make everything look dimensional and upscale.

LED Lighting

LED lights are now commonly used in residential homes because they work well to illuminate the space without consuming too much energy. The bright light emanates from the walls and will allow you to see your surroundings more. The lights also have a longer lifespan compared to incandescent bulbs. This makes it easy to avoid replacing them as often throughout the year. Not only will they create a more beautiful glow in the room, but they’ll also make your proper more sustainable long-term.

Many up and coming trends will make your interior setting appear beautiful and modern. With the right features and products used, you can allow the home to appear professionally decorated and inviting when it’s time to move in and start a new season in life.
