A bathroom remodel will not only enhance the beauty of your space, it can also increase its function and comfort. Upgrading or adding a bathroom can significantly increase the value of your home. As a bonus, replacing old plumbing fixtures with energy-efficient ones can help in reducing your utility costs.
Let’s take a look back at the biggest bathroom remodeling trends of 2019.
White on White
In 2019, the white-on-white theme regained its popularity in bathrooms. More homeowners chose white for countertops and nonshower walls. Most upgraded showers also included neutral palettes of white, gray and beige.
Accent Walls
Last year, accent walls were huge in bathrooms. This feature is more common in a shower remodel. Accent walls were usually in neutral gray or white, as a way of achieving a spa-like feel in the bathroom.
Showers Over Tubs
According to the U.S. Houzz Bathroom Trends Study, almost half of renovated master bathrooms didn’t include a bathtub, either because the homeowners didn’t have one before the remodel or it was intentionally removed during the project.
In bathrooms that did include tubs, the freestanding flat-bottom tub was a favorite. Most tubs accommodate soaking and acrylic remains the most popular tub material.
Premium Shower Finishes
Ceramic or porcelain tile were more widely used on shower walls than on shower floors. On the other hand, natural stone was more preferred for shower flooring than walls. Marble is still the most preferred natural stone, followed by granite, travertine and slate.
Custom Vanities
Built-in vanity cabinets were more preferred than freestanding ones. Shaker-style doors were the most popular for vanities, while raised-panel and flat-panel door styles were also top options.
