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.
