Bathroom Design Trends

When it comes to the bathroom, all you really need is a functioning space where you can get in, do your business, and get out. But come on—it can be so much more! The latest bathroom design trends offer a way to express your unique style and indulge yourself as well.
This year, experts say, homeowners are focused on making the bathroom a place you'll want to be—not just where you have to go. From statement furniture to bold decor pieces, the bathroom is the new "it" space of the house.
Here are the biggest, boldest, and most beautiful design trends to expect in the rest of 2019.

1. Half-baths that make a statement

This year, the half-bath is getting its full share of attention—designers are transforming this space into something that everyone will want to see.
Where better to make a bold statement than in a small space? 
High contrast and large scale will actually make this usually forgotten, but important, room in your house be heard.

2. Black baths

If you've tired of the white-on-white look that's taken over our homes for the past decade, you're in luck: Black is back. Yes, black-and-white decor is trending, and it looks especially fierce in a small interior space like a bathroom. Try painting the walls ebony, get a charcoal vanity, use it on the finishes—or all of the above.
3. Furniture in the bathroom

Hear us out on this one! If you have the space, a beautiful piece of furniture can create a lounge feel in your bathroom—and give you a legitimate reason to retreat there when you need to get away.
Be sure to pick pieces that have extra storage for towels or toiletries, or that you'd be comfortable draping your towel over, he recommends.

4. Luxe spa touches

"Self-care" has been the catchphrase for the past couple of years, with lifestyle gurus preaching the endless benefits of taking time to nurture yourself. And nowhere is that mentality more clear than in 2019's bathrooms.
This year is all about adding some relaxing touches to make the whole space one where you can truly indulge.
5. Eye-level lighting

Hate what you see in the mirror when you wake up in the morning? It might be your bathroom's fault. This year, try to adjust your lighting.
6. Plaster light fixtures

And you thought plaster was just a building material. It's also being used in stylish light fixtures that fit nicely into a bathroom space, says Annabel Joy, interior designer and co-founder of Trim Design Co. in Boston.
Try out this trend with wall sconces in the bathroom, or a statement chandelier.

7. Vintage rugs

Carpet isn't usually welcome in the loo, but there's nothing wrong with a rug that protects your feet from the cold tile. This year, turn to something vintage that you know can stand the test of time—and the inevitable moisture from your bathroom.
These come prefaded and distressed, so they will hold up well in baths even if they get wet from time to time.

34 Trends That Will Define Home Design In 2020

Kitchens 1. Three-tone kitchens.  Two-tone kitchen cabinets — meaning the upper cabinets are one color and the lower cabinets another color, or the perimeter cabinets are one color and the island is a different color — dominated kitchens in the past couple of years. So it’s only natural that designers are building on the trend rather than doing away with it. In a three-tone kitchen, one more color or material is introduced to create an asymmetry in the palette that helps define zones or functions and keeps the eye moving. Here, designer Janina Cabrera of  J Style at Home  designed a gorgeous kitchen with white perimeter cabinets, a light wood island base and a knockout powder-blue hutch. In this kitchen by  Hutker Architects , a deep navy defines the refrigerator and pantry wall to the left, joining white perimeter cabinets and a superlight wood island base. Wood via the beams, ceiling, shelves and flooring adds to the diverse three-tone palette. ...

10 Things You Should Buy Now To Get Through COVID-19 Cabin Fever This Winter

  1. Outdoor gear Dave Labbe , senior vice president at Kittery Trading Post, saw record sales this summer of items like kayaks, camping gear, and bicycles. He expects the trend to continue for the winter. "Our anticipation is that all winter categories will see the same trend," he says. "Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, downhill skies, snowboarding, and winter camping and hiking will boom as people continue to participate in anything outdoor-related." And outdoor activities aren't just for weekends, either. Kids who are still learning from home will need outdoor breaks. Store inventories of  backyard ice rink kits ,  backyard snowboards , skates, sleds, and snowman kits may melt away quickly. 2. Outdoor clothing Coats, hats, and mittens are popular every winter season, but this year you might have trouble finding what you want as more people brave the cold and snow to fend off cabin fever. "People want to continue spending time together safely this winte...

Black Homeownership Plunges To Record Low

The homeownership rate of black Americans hit an all-time low in the first quarter of this year as black communities continue struggling to recover financially from the housing crisis a decade ago, recent U.S. Census Bureau data shows. The black homeownership rate has dropped 8.6 percentage points since peaking in 2004. “We can see that discrimination is still there, although it has changed its form,” Michela Zonta, a senior policy analyst at the Center for American Progress, told  The Wall Street Journal . Zonta released a study this week that found higher-income black homeowners are more likely to purchase homes in predominantly minority neighborhood, which have mostly failed to see home values rise since the foreclosure crisis. In comparison, neighborhoods with predominantly white borrowers have seen homes appreciate 3% between 2006 to 2017, while homes in predominantly black neighborhoods tended to be worth 6% less than they were in 2006, according to Zonta’s study. ...
