2016 Bathroom Trends

Is a bathroom remodel on your wishlist this year? Heiston Kitchen and Bath is taking bathroom design to a new level, utilizing the top trends and technology in the industry. Below are some of the trends we are seeing in Northern Virginia area  bathrooms.

1. Wood

2015 saw a growing interest in wood-look tile in the kitchen and throughout the home in living rooms and dining rooms. This year it's extending to the bathroom, along with 
reclaimed wood (from barns and ships), 

white-washed wood, painted wood, stained wood, and geometric-patterned wood tile. This trend isn't just for the floor, it's also being used on accent walls, bathroom furniture, shower bases, and  ceilings,  Wood creates a feeling of warmth and depth making your bathroom a relaxing space to be in. 

2. Colors

Beige has been the reigning color in bathrooms for the past decade, but this year its being replaced by white-- white fixtures, white walls, white accents, white furniture, and even white faucets. It's easier to create a fresh and clean ambiance with white. Benefits of using white in your bathroom: allows you to be more adventurous with tile and/or accent colors, can be used to help draw the eye to the focal point in your bathroom (i.e. wooden beams on the ceiling or a free-standing tub), white walls and fixtures can be used along with strategically placed mirrors and lighting to make a small bathroom appear more spacious.

If white is too plain for you,some other colors to try this year are shades of blue and green, rich dark color tones, gray, black and white, and even some shades  of pink!




3. Tile



With so many new ideas and tile options this year, none are more exciting or have more possibilities than textured tile (pictured left).
Textured tile adds instant depth and interest to your bathroom.

New production technologies are blending artisan technique with inkjet printing to create a myriad of tile options, including waves, geometric patterns, floral motifs, and replicas of organic materials such as wood, marble, and slate.
