With 2020 in full swing, is it time to give your bathroom a face-lift?

This trend is most popular in light fixtures, vanities, mirrors, and other fixtures- especially with matte finishes!

Big Bathtubs & Open Showers
The bigger the bathtub, the more space and relaxation will be available to you. Homeowners deserve a place to wind down after a long day, and what better place to do so than their own bathrooms? While Jacuzzi styled tubs aren’t necessarily are popular as they used to be, we’re seeing a shift in preferences to other large tub styles. Open showers appear to visually increase the size of your bathroom, while also giving it more space and providing convenience for users. Long gone are the days of worrying about slipping over the edge of the tub while you’re trying to get out and dry off. While some may find this design has a lack of privacy, others enjoy the accessible openness and increased shower space.
Floating Vanities
Floating bathroom vanities used to be synonymous with contemporary design for years. But with the simplification of life styles, new design aesthetics and trends, sometimes it’s simply just the square footage available that makes floating bathroom vanities the essential extra touch needed to float your bathroom to the next level. This helps reduce the visual weight of the cabinetry and offers the break to let the coordinating materials shine. Don’t worry about your storage needs either, since you can add built-in organization compartments into the cabinetry. Alternatively, you can add baskets underneath that offers some artful utility.
