Do you imagine, as I do, that there\u2019s a wonderful Wizard somewhere who, after much pondering, deems that eggplant accents and Italian glass tile are in? I can\u2019t help but think so after indulging in list after list of design trends for this year; there\u2019s simply too much overlap to be coincidental. If you\u2019re in the midst of planning a bathroom remodel<\/a>, here are my favorite ideas from the Great Wizard of style trends.<\/p>\n

1). Black is Back
\nHouzz editor Sheila Schmitz<\/a> tells Details Magazine that black has replaced grey as the go-to color of the year. My take on this trend for the bathroom: how about an elegant or fun black accent in the bathroom. I will be experimenting with black chalkboard paint in our guest bathroom this year. Looking forward to parties where guests can leave notes on the wall.<\/p>\n

2). Deep Colors & Light Woods
\nIn a similar vein, Paste Magazine<\/a> suggests deep hues like rich purples and blues. Why not? You don\u2019t have to install a shower full of purple tile, but you could hang a painting or use an accent tile. Elle D\u00e9cor<\/a> suggests a rich turquoise. Who doesn\u2019t love a bathroom with a little seaside charm?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve seen a lot this year about natural wood grains, butcher block counters, and honey-colored woods. I love wood in the bathroom. Just be sure you know how to care for it. Some of it requires regular maintenance, and if you\u2019re not up to it, then I\u2019d opt for an easier solution.<\/p>\n

3). Matte Tiles & Built-In Ledges
\nStyle at Home<\/a> has a whole set of design trends just for the bathroom, but my favorites are matte tile and built-in ledges and seating. Matte tiles are an easy way to create texture and movement no matter your color scheme or style preference.<\/p>\n

Style with a purpose is kind of ideal, isn\u2019t it? The practical person in me likes built-in ledges and seating, while the designer in me appreciates that a built-in ledge trimmed in wood, for instance, can be an eye-catching and fairly easy detail to add a little panache.<\/p>\n

4). Make It Yours
\nAnother trend appearing in several places (Wizard, we know you\u2019re there!) is to break out your family heirlooms or artwork to make your space uniquely \u201cyou.\u201d In my bathrooms, I have pieces of artwork from friends, but you could just as easily work with abstract photos or even a child\u2019s canvas artwork. Careful with the humidity: some art won\u2019t stand up to the bathroom environment. Use only those things that you won\u2019t cry over if they get ruined. I opt for ceramics and photos that I can reprint.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m off to the paint store. That turquoise is so inspiring!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
