According to a recent survey on Bathroom Design Trends & Kitchen Product Trends from the American Institute of Architects (AIA), bathrooms in homes are growing…in size and in number! Here are the most 5 popular bathroom design trends captured from their survey:
• LED Lighting (68%) – energy efficient lighting offers a number of options for the bathroom
• Doorless/No-threshold showers (57%) – easy in out access with a clean, sleek look
• Accessibility/universal design (54%) - homeowners of all ages gain valuable benefits in everyday life, not just when older
• Water saving toilets (43%) – very popular and very efficient for the bathroom
• Dual-flush toilets (41%) – a new level of water conservation and efficiency from a toilet growing fast in popularity
Other popular bathroom design trends cited included radiant-heated floors, hand showers and specialty upscale showers. Just like with kitchens, determine which of these will work best for your own bathrooms and work with a professional to help design the bathroom perfect for you!
