Happy new year readers! I hope you had a great celebration to ring in the new year, whatever you may have been up to!
OK - now time to start thinking about the way you want to carry out the new year, and one way to start is with a design upgrade. What room in your home do you want to update the most?
Making changes in your bathroom - whether it's your master bath or your powder room - can make your home and subsequently your self feel fresh, updated and different in the new year.
Below we will look at some modern, interesting bathrooms that push the boundaries of traditional design without getting too over-the-top that will help nudge you out of your old 2015 self and into a new 2016!
I am starting our round-up with a bang! Graphic tiles are so hip and their popularity is not dropping off any time soon. As you notice in this bathroom from Domaine, the elements surrounding the graphic tiles are kept extremely minimal and simple as to let the graphic tiles stand out as the focal point in this space.
If you have a simple bathroom, updating the floor and wall tile is a way to embrace your fun side without having to update everything else in the room.
Whomever dosent want a cobalt blue tub in their bathroom will change their mind after seeing this stunning design from Cote Maison. While you could let a bright blue tub stand on it's own as the focal point of the space, it's the feature wall that, when paired with the tub, really makes the statement. Mismatched graphic cement tiles create their own, cacophonous pattern that plays on vintage as well as modern design aesthetics.
This design is perfect for a fun guest bathroom where you guests will be delighted and entertained every time they enter.
If you're a minimalist, this next bathroom is perfect for you. Taking traditional materials like penny hex and creating a faux-recessed feature wall in a fun color immediately makes the common material seem fresh and new.
Interiores Minimalistas shared this beautiful bathroom image where old is new again and application of materials is everything.
Brass is back in a big way, and I am not mad about it. Emily Henderson's bathroom features beautiful vanity lights, bathroom hardware and a faucet, all in a gorgeous brass tone that pairs perfectly with the light blue tile. The contrast of the bold brass and the softer whites and blues in the bathroom space make it feel calm and cool all at once.
Our fina bathroom feature from Lonny is another modern twist on classic materials. Walnut is a very mid-century material, but the wall application of the walnut is so clean and modern that the space only hints at a vintage sentiment.
Fresh white sink basins and mirrors paired with unique bathroom lighting creates a space that has fun with design while not overwhelming any one design choice or another.
How will you update your self and your bathroom design for 2016?
