2016 Bathroom Trends You Must Know About

The year 2016 is no longer that far along that trends for the upcoming year have already made their way to magazines and designer lookbooks. So what does 2016 have in store for bathroom trends?

Here are some of 2016 bathroom trends you must know about according to About Home:

Metals

Brass has been a hit for this year, but you can go full-on metal come 2016. From gold, silver, platinum, stainless, brushed steel - metals sure will be back in full strength. These finishes are perfect to grace you cabinet knobs and even your faucets.

Stones and minerals

Natural stones and minerals are also going to be big this 2016 but no longer just as decorative elements, but as functional pieces as well. Instead of the usual porcelain, a sink made of polished stone will give your bathroom that elegant and interesting touch. As décor items, stones would be perfect to use for your stone bench near the bath or a bathroom stool. But more than the design part, stones and minerals are believed to bring good luck in Feng Shui.

Artisan items

Artisanal items are proving to become one of the most popular industries in design. You do not just get yourself unique pieces, but you also get to support small business owners and local economies. There are pretty much endless choices of cool artisan items you can find out there: from a handmade bath mat, homemade soap, custom-printed shower curtain, and more.

Green plants

This year, green bathrooms are definitely in the scene, but they are believed to make bigger waves come 2016. Green plants, a green feature wall that can be an indoor garden are cool options if you want to get on this bathroom trend for the upcoming year.

Dramatic colors

Say goodbye to beige and white, and say hello to black! Dramatic colors will so be back for the year 2016, so look forward to black tiles, dramatic lighting and stark contrasts to hit bathrooms this coming year.

Floral patterns

Oh yes, you heard that right. You can finally go loco with your love for floral prints this coming 2016. Big, small, colorful, or understated - floral is no longer kitsch. Put a touch of floral to your towels, shower curtain, or floral wallpaper. Use the pattern wisely to avoid overpowering the space with the print.
