INDOOR
Mixed materials are making their way into kitchens and bathrooms , thanks to a variety of new finishes available for appliances , countertops and fixtures . What were once rooms tucked away and never mentioned are now becoming gathering places for entertaining and spa-like sanctuaries sought after for relief from a long day . The kitchen and bathroom are really feeling the love this season , with punch and pizazz being added to personalize the spaces .
Bathroom
Bathrooms continue to gain importance as a space used for relaxation and meditation . Bathroom sizes are larger than they once were , bringing in more room for added features such as soaker tubs and extended shower stalls . No room to expand the bathroom walls ? Opt for an illusion of space with large tile sizes on the floor and practical storage solutions to make room for your calming sanctuary .
• Brass is back : Have brass hardware from the ‘ 90s in your bathroom ? Don ’ t get rid of it just yet ! With rose gold and copper making their way into the hardware scene last year , brass is also making a comeback . Chrome and satin are still the frontrunners , but switch up the classics for a trendier look .
• Natural stone sinks : Granite is so 2016 . Countertops are now boasting durable quartz and hand-carved stone sinks . Porcelain will always be a classic crowd favorite , but the trend is moving toward the natural look and feel of stone .
• Patterned tiles : Ceramics are enhancing bathroom floors , accent walls , and shower stalls with geometric designs and wood-like patterns . These tiles are adding a decorative touch to a room that doesn ’ t often get much decorating love .
