Given the abundant surface area of walls and flooring in a bathroom and their potential impact on the design, it’s no surprise that the majority of remodeling homeowners tackle these two large areas (83% each) in their projects.

Many remodeling homeowners also upgrade their faucets (87%), lighting fixtures (80%), countertops (79%), sinks (76%) and vanity cabinets (74%).

Ceramic and Porcelain Tile Are Popular Inside Showers

Among the 83% of renovating homeowners who upgrade showers as part of their master bathroom remodel, ceramic or porcelain remains the favorite material for both shower floors (56%) and shower walls (70%).

Marble is the second-most-popular material choice for upgraded shower floors (13%) and walls (15%). However, this material lost ground for shower flooring, down five percentage points from 2019. Granite and quartzite, as well as engineered quartz, rose in popularity for shower walls this year.

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. Designer

1. The Right Storage Your kitchen cabinets make up the bulk of what you see in your kitchen, so your  choice of cabinet color and style is a major, consequential decision. But the components inside your cabinets are equally important, if not more. Your storage solutions determine how functional your kitchen is. When you’re at the peak of cooking a large meal, you care less about the look of your cabinets and more about the ease of grabbing the right tools, spices, pots and other supplies. A kitchen designer will often take an inventory of all the utensils, dishes, small appliances and pantry items in your kitchen to figure out the right storage components for you. P ullouts, rollouts and swing-outs will efficiently organize your stuff and make things easier to find and grab. “When budget allows, we always, always recommend drawers  or pullout shelves  on the lower cabinet level,” designer Lisa Janzen of  KC Interior Design  says. “There is nothing worse than having to get on your hands
