tub or shower upgrade!
Jul 13, 2019
A bathroom remodeling project isn’t as simple as making it look new. The bathroom is a functional area and as such it will require more than just an eye for what looks great but also for what will work.
Bath Planet of SW Virginia discusses what’s trendy in the world of bathroom remodeling in 2019 apart from shower to tub conversions:
Concrete
Topping the list is the all-concrete bathroom. While this might sound too industrial or severe, homeowners are looking to incorporate these elements to give their spaces a sparse feel but with great leeway for decoration. Concrete is great for this, as it can become a neutral canvas for the owner’s tastes.
Classicism
In 2019, people are in love with the idea of the Classical Age, with the (re)emergence of such movements as vaporwave that incorporates Japanese retro-futurism and Classical Roman sculptures. Bath Planet of SW Virginia suggests using Victorian themes with dark walls, mosaic floor tile, and gold-trimmed walk-in tubs to take this style on.
Edwardian
The early 2010s focused on utility, minimalism, and neutral colors. This year, though, we’re back to basics with dark wooden panels, like mahogany and walnut (even oak with a dark, moody finish) round off this look, with intricate woodwork and impeccable craftsmanship.
Minimalism
If you’re not a fan of storing items in the bathroom like shampoo bottles, you can use seamless surfaces that not only reflect light but make cleaning up easy and painless. Ceramic and marble vanities and sinks are great, timeless choices. Make sure you choose one that can’t store anything, though!
