Dreaming up bathroom renovation ideas? A building contractor can help turn those ideas into reality. 

Imagine yourself immersed in an amazing book while relaxing in a tub filled to the brim with warm water. What does that tub look like? What about the vanity? How’s the lighting? If you’re having a hard time figuring out what that looks like in your mind, don’t worry! These trending bathroom renovation ideas will help you discover exactly what you want your dream bathroom to look like.

1. Floating Vanities

If you’re planning on remodelling one of the bathrooms in your home, you may want to consider swapping out your old vanity for a floating one. They make bathrooms feel airy and light and can be constructed using nearly any kind of material.

2. Floating Toilets 

Floating toilets used to be found only in higher-end homes, but now these lavish-looking loos are being installed everywhere. These super modern toilets create a more sanitary environment by removing unnecessary nooks and crannies that are difficult to clean well.

3. Wall-mounted Faucets

This new trend is really gaining traction in some of the more recent bathroom remodels. It’s really great for shallow vanities that don’t have a lot of space. They also give a bathroom a unique edge over other remodels.

4. Floor-to-Ceiling Glass Showers

This trend is very popular among homeowners in the Okanagan right now. A glass shower enclosure that stretches uninterrupted from floor to ceiling gives a bathroom a seamless look. It can also make the bathroom look much bigger than it actually is.

5. Neutral Palettes

Bathrooms that feature muted tones and natural woods are in high demand. It keeps the bathroom both modern and flexible. It’s basically a blank canvas just waiting for some extra décor pieces to add a little personal flair.

6. Exposed Pipes and Hardware

If you love industrial design, this trend is perfect for you. Typically spotted in older homes, exposed piping and hardware is starting to find its way into bathrooms in new homes and remodels. It’s a great way to add a touch of metal to any design.

7. Off-kilter Tubs

Sometimes creating a trendy yet unique design involves going against your own natural instincts. That’s what an off-kilter tub will call for. Placing a standalone tub at an angle in the corner of the bathroom instead of squaring it up will add an interesting perspective. 

8. Statement Mirrors

Rectangle mirrors were once commonplace in bathrooms all over North America for a really long time; however, in recent years, homeowners are now opting for mirrors that make a statement. From oval to curvaceous, any shape will do.

9. Open-concept Bathroom Remodels 

Open-concept designs aren’t just for the main floor of the home anymore. More and more homeowners are incorporating this design into their master bathroom renovation projects by knocking down the walls that separate the bathroom and the bedroom. It’s a really freeing experience.
