The changes due to the pandemic over the last year made the idea of "home" take on a new meaning for nearly everyone. With stay-at-home orders in place, we all started to use our homes a bit differently. Some dining rooms also became work spaces. Living rooms turned into the hot spot for entertaining. Even the kitchen transformed into a more useable and functional space.
The bathroom was not excluded from all the changes of 2020 and remodeling projects will continue to be a popular home improvement task in 2021. If a bathroom remodel is on your to-do list in the upcoming year, check out some of the top industry trends for design inspiration!
Increased Storage
Often times, your bathrooms is the smallest room in your home. Therefore, creating ample storage can be difficult. In 2021, increased storage is becoming more popular. Inset storage and cubby holes can be great solutions. Medicine cabinets are also on the rise.
Unique Tiles
In 2021, tiny mosaic tiles will be a thing of the past in bathrooms! Larger format tiles are gaining popularity, as they can make a big impact on the space with less grout lines. Unique tile placement and usage is also on the rise. For instance, many designers will use large format tiles for the main walls of a shower and inset shelves with eye-popping tiles.
Floating Sinks & Vanities
Suspended sinks and vanities can help to maximize the space in smaller bathrooms. Available in a variety of configurations and styles, wall-mounted sinks and vanities help make the space feel more airy and clean, versus a traditional vanity that seems like a big box on the floor.
Freestanding Tubs
The pandemic has increased everyone's need for routine relaxation, making soaking tubs a popular choice during bathroom remodeling projects. Free-standing, flat bottom tubs are more popular than clawfoot or decorative bases because of their beautiful simplicity.

With all the metal, porcelain, and tile elements in the bathroom, they can become to feel a bit sterile. Natural wood is being introduced more and more in today's bathroom designs as it is a great way to warm up the space. Wood such as cedar is a great choice because it will not warp due to moisture.

A fresh coat of paint can go a long way in any room, but especially in your bathroom. Trending 2021 colors include vibrant but warm hues such as terra cotta and goldenrod. Warmth can also be achieved by choosing the right color schemes for your flooring, tiles, and accessories!
