Bathroom remodeling trends like all fads come and go, but the things that stay constant in most people’s consciousness as they plan the renovation of their bathrooms are how practical or functional the bathroom will be in meeting their everyday needs. Another consistent trend is in creating a comfortable space with appropriate ambiance that will make them happy.

Additionally, a lot of people remodel their bathroom because they want to create an oasis of luxury.  In their pursuit of the ultimate luxurious space, many are going for a space to pamper, tickle, meditate, relax and forget even for a moment, the worries and stress of their day.
The bathroom remodeling trend that will remain a way of life for many is eco-friendly or green remodeling.  It is a no-brainer that when green renovation is effectively implemented, it saves water, energy bills, and the environment.  Here are tips that will help you create a durable bathroom.

Storage: 

We collect a lot of stuff and the bathroom is no exception. Reduce bathroom clutter by putting bathroom and grooming supplies in storage. Such storage spaces like cabinet, vanities and shelves provide maximum storage in a minimal space. Take advantage of the space above your toilet by building a storage unit. If it is at all possible, incorporate a closet or large cabinet for towels and other bulky items during bathroom renovation.

Appropriate Materials for the Bathroom:

The choice of materials impacts the look of the bathroom and affects the cost of the renovation. Bathroom materials that require constant maintenance are out of fashion because of the busy lives of many today.  Choose materials for your floor, cabinet, countertop and wall surfaces that resist stains and clean up pretty easily.  That’s why some people choose natural materials like polished marble and granite and solid-surface materials such as Corian, which cost more but are durable and resist stains.

For environmentally conscious individuals, there are cutting-edge materials they can choose for their durability and aesthetic qualities. Bamboo and cork floors are trendy.  With a little research, you can find locally sourced, recycled-glass countertops; recycled-glass tile backsplashes; wheatboard (composite “wood” made of agricultural byproducts) cabinets; and natural linoleum desktops.

Consider Shrinking the Bath:

You don’t have to make your bathroom larger for it to be appealing, functional, comfortable and luxurious. Go for cozy without giving up the luxuries. You may be too busy to enjoy a whirlpool tub as often as you would like, but if you add one during your bathroom renovation, you will enjoy the sizzle it adds at resale time. Tired of the morning rush hour crunch? Add dual sinks and a shower that is separate from your tub.

 Light: 

Adding natural light into a bathroom creates an appealing ambiance. Skylights, glass doors, wall cutouts, glass block and windows add to the appeal of a well thought out remodeling. Adding mirrors help create a sense of openness, making a small bathroom appear larger.
