Top 2021 Bathroom Trends
We get a lot of use out of our bathrooms and they tend to be one of the most used rooms in our house, but yet somehow often ignored when it comes to design and renovation. 2021 is the year to finally give you that sanctuary bathroom you've always wanted and it doesn't matter how big or small your space is. Reliable's design team is here to help make functional and design worthy changes to your bathroom. As the trends evolve, practicality & convenience tend to be at the center of it all. We personally love some of the ideas that are trending this year and have compiled a list of our top picks that are not only easy to implement but serve a great purpose too.
OPEN SHOWERS
What started as a necessity for small bathrooms, open showers have now transformed into a popular trend even for houses that have the clearance for tubs. Open showers are a great way to save some space while incorporating a minimalist and modern design. We have many options how to create the open shower space from tiles to natural stone.
NATURAL ELEMENTS
Bathrooms can be very dull spaces unless livened up. One emerging trend in 2021 is the incorporation of natural elements including plants. Using plants is a great way to add a bit of color and liveliness to the space creating that sanctuary you've always wanted.
STATEMENT LIGHTING
Sconces and still have their place in certain bathrooms, but nowadays we are creating a whole new light with chandeliers, recessed lighting, backlit mirrors and vanities, and pendent lighting. Jazzing up your bathroom lighting adds character, provides new light, and helps create that luxury vibe in even the smallest of bathrooms.
COLOR
We are getting away from the neutral toned bathrooms and seeing more color! From colored subway tiles, backsplashes, or a fresh paint job - adding an accent color really spruces up your space and makes it more unique.
FLOATING VANITIES
Floating vanities are no longer just for the super mod and contemporary. This space-saving storage solution has more customization options than ever before, with sinks, faucets, and hardware to fit any style. Wall-mount bathroom vanities come in an array of configurations, from a complete unit with a countertop, sink and storage base—like a freestanding vanity without the legs—to partial sets and entirely separate pieces.
SMART TOILETS
Smart toilets have hands-free components, like self-closing lids and touch-free flushing, which reduce interactions with germ infested surfaces. Another feature to look forward to is self-cleaning technology. This includes bacteria-killing light under the lid, interior mechanisms that do the cleaning for you, and cling-free bowl surfaces. Smart toilets eliminate the nooks and exposed plumbing of more traditional models, making cleaning the exterior easier, too.
