See What's Trending in 2020 Bathroom Design

With more time at home, there is a good chance you have been thinking about ways to refresh your space. Our post on 2020 kitchen design trends is a great resource, but why stop there? Use these bathroom trends as a guide to create the perfect place to unwind after a long day.

Colors

Color lifts our spirits and can help us feel calm and collected. The 2020 palettes moved toward earthy tones like White Heron, Golden Straw, Crystalline, First Light, Buxton Blue, Oxford Gray, Blue Danube and Cushing Green. Blues encourage relaxation, while greens bring a sense of wellness and nature. See more in 2020 color trends.

Tubs

Whether you soak every day or once in a while, a tub is a bathroom classic. Stone resin suits modern baths, while copper and clawfoot tubs remain favorites for classic style.

• Stone resin: lightweight, affordable and durable, it resists warping, chipping and cracking and is nonporous. Many are made with recycled materials. Avoid acidic cleaners that can damage the finish.
• Freestanding tubs: after years of tubs built into walls and corners, standalone tubs are back as the statement piece of the bathroom. Choose a deep soaking tub for true relaxation.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper sparks strong opinions, but today's designs may change your mind. Stone-look or marbleized wallpaper delivers a glamorous, contemporary look without the cost of real stone, and it makes a big impact in a small space.

Natural Stone

Travertine brings one-of-a-kind character. It is often less expensive than marble or granite, durable and available in many shapes and sizes, with warm, earthy color. Because it is porous, it needs proper sealing to stay protected.

Lighting

Countertops, tile and flooring matter, but do not overlook lighting. You need to see well to get ready in the morning. Backlit mirrors and integrated lighting look beautiful and provide excellent light. See home lighting types and trends.

Metals

Gold fixtures are back and better than ever, on faucets, shower fixtures and even drawer pulls. Warm gold adds depth and luxury and hides fingerprints and water spots better than you might think. Brass is a close second with a warmer, darker feel. If neither suits you, copper pairs nicely with stainless steel.

Tile

Manufacturers are pushing the limits of color and pattern, with hexagons, diamonds, fish scales and chevrons for eye-catching floors, showers and backsplashes. With tall ceilings, you do not have to tile the shower all the way up. Consider adding a window in the extra wall space for natural light.

Marble

Marble is classic and elegant. If you do not want an all-white look, try a more unusual pattern and treat the slab like art, choosing colors you will love every day. For marble style with more durability, consider marble-look quartz or porcelain tile.

Mirrors

Asymmetrical and uniquely shaped mirrors are popular, and smart mirrors offer anti-fog, touch controls and USB charging for easier routines.

Dramatic Decor

Want an eye-popping primary bath? A freestanding black tub paired with gold or brass fixtures creates a sleek, modern look. With high-end finishes, consider exposed plumbing to show them off.
