I’m going to be away for a week, but I thought I might leave you with some bathroom trends to ponder. This is what I’m seeing as new (some not-so-new) trends in bathrooms. The photos I collect tend to show larger bathrooms, likely because smaller bathrooms are so difficult to photograph and therefore there just aren’t as many photos out there. But bits and pieces of these themes can be carried over into small bathrooms for a very similar look.

Polished finishes (specifically nickel), vertical mirror strips behind sink with tile on either side, wall sconces…

Natural materials, curbless showers…

Warm taupe-gray colors with whites and a little high-polish glam… a combination of natural and crisp geometric materials…
from Things that Inspire
Pebble floors, vanity areas in center of room, open vanity cabinets…
Chandeliers and other elegant lighting in place of traditional wall-mount light bars…

Wood floors (be careful!), wood trim, freestanding tubs… looks more like a regular room with furniture than a bathroom…
from design crisis
Charcoal gray or black cabinets…

Large showers being more important than big tubs…

One obvious pattern in bathrooms today is the his and hers where there are two sinks for the couple. It is ideal for newly-weds and those who wanted to renovate their bathrooms. The two vanities can be put together or separately, depending on your style.
