5 Top Bathroom Design Trends for 2018

Aka vanities that seemingly levitate above the ground. Why we love ’em? They free up tons of visual floor space, making even tiny washrooms feel airy and light. A longtime mainstay in modern design schemes, they're now infiltrating farmhouse, traditional and mid-century settings. We mean, how dreamy is Elizabeth Roberts's floating vanity situation above?

’Tis the year of bold, juicy color across home design, friends. In the bathroom, we're loving the return of classic (and cost-friendly!) tiles in dimensional tones. Our faves? Old-school penny tiles in sherbet hues, as well as elongated subway tiles—like Jen Pinkston's gorgeous teal master bath above.

See ya, under-the-sink mounts. A wall-mounted choice reads modern, clean and custom. We’re particularly obsessed with the shiplap meets silver tap pairing in this space by Studio McGee.

When we think “bathroom lighting,” we typically think ceiling-flush overheads and sconces. But recently, we’ve been noticing an increase in pendant lights, whether flanking either side of a sink or as a focal point directly above it. Check out this chic powder room setup by House of Jade Interiors.

Whether partitioned by a glass half wall or footloose and fancy free, integrated showers are the chicest way to make your bathroom feel like a spa. The real keys to making this high-end layout work? 1) Tiling every last surface and 2) installing a big guns drain—like in this moody, modern stunner by The Designory.
