Bathroom Countertops Trends
Remodeling your bathroom this year? You’ll obviously want to take into considerations what the latest trends are for 2021, so you can incorporate all the gadgets and elements that will make your bathroom truly innovative, luxurious and beautiful. Check out what’s hot this year for bathroom countertops in particular.
With the shelter in place orders that came with 2020, we all had a heightened awareness of the cleanliness of our homes. This year, hygiene will continue to be a main concern, especially in germ-prone and high-traffic areas like bathrooms, putting an emphasis on easy-to-clean surfaces and anti-microbial fixtures.
Quartz Countertops
Because quartz is one of the hardest natural materials, resists scratches and stains, and is easy to maintain, it’s a top choice for homeowners this year especially. Quartz can easily accommodate all the frequent cleaning that homeowners are doing now. Plus, it’s non-porous, which means it can’t harbor as much bacteria as more porous materials. This is a vital consideration in a room that is constantly being barraged by moisture and water.
Quart has a contemporary feel with sleek profiles and little to no seams, which makes them that much easier to maintain. Lighter finishes are all the rage, showcasing the warmth of today’s modern bathrooms. That’s because there’s a move toward organic trends that feature an eclectic mix of earthy elements. Quartz counters paired with natural wood is one example of this.
Floating Vanities
The crisp lines of floating vanities are perfect for the contemporary bathroom, giving you more space and storage options. Wall-mounted bathroom vanities allow you to truly customize your space in many configurations, whether you want a complete unit with countertop, sink and underneath storage, or partial sets and separate pieces. Floating vanities also make it easier to clean the floor underneath.
Large-Format Wall Tiles
Tiny mosaic tiles are soooo over. Now, the trend is embracing larger format tiles featuring fewer grout lines, which harbor fewer germs. These tiles give off an air of luxury, especially when coupled with natural stone. Slab wall coverings and larger subway tiles in a variety of colors, sizes, textures, and finishes are hot this year too. Stack them vertically and horizontally in a linear fashion for a minimalist vibe.
In terms of tile colors, go with warm, inviting neutrals as well as earth tones like tan, beige, brown and mushroom shades, suggests Better Homes and Gardens.
Back-Lit Mirrors and Cabinets
Backlit mirrors and medicine cabinets featuring ambient lighting that can be dimmed when needed are very popular this year. They create a glowing effect that looks like the mirror is floating. Use this illusion as a focal point or to draw attention to a textured wall.
