Latest Trends in Bathroom Design...




Say goodbye to the jetted tubs and sliding glass doors! Some of the latest trends in new bathrooms that have been seen include dual-flush toilets, LED lighting and walk-in showers. According to recent survey by the American Institute of Architecture, homeowners nowadays are focusing mainly on affordability and universal design.

Over the past couple of years, “going green” has become increasingly more popular. In both home design and home decor, Eco-friendly features are becoming more mainstream, especially, LED lighting andwater-saving or dual-flush toilets that change water volume depending on the type of waste being flushed.

Another trend being seen in new bathrooms is applying features that improve accessibility. The National Association of Home Builders reports that 20% of home builders expect new construction to embrace aging in place with more universal access. Some of these changes may include grab bars, “curbless” showers, floating vanities that allow wheelchair access and wider doorways.
