Timeless Bathroom Design Bathrooms are some of the most frequently accessed spaces in a home, so it comes as no surprise that they consistently rank high as top places homeowners desire to remodel. Updating a bathroom helps improve functionality and enhances property value, but thoughtful enhancements with long-term impact matter, and that’s why timeless bathroom design is a top home improvement trend. Timeless bathroom design embodies three main elements: Simplicity Focusing on simplicity does not mean cold or bland. Simplicity is being mindful of materials and colors that embody ageless elements that work for an evolving life. For instance, prioritizing balance and symmetry in shower and vanity layouts creates timeless visual appeal. Colors, materials and finishes are also an important part of a simplicity approach. “This includes enduring color palettes that feature warm, layered neutrals that appeal year after year,” said Lynn Schrage, Manager of Kohler’s Design Services. “Additionally, materials with long-lasting characteristics are popular, such as cast iron or tarnish- resistant faucet finishes.” Beauty Timeless style will appeal decade after decade. One method for achieving this includes layering materials within the space, such as different tiles, metal finishes and fixture colors. Beyond materials, you can also layer and mix finishes, such as gloss and matte to create texture variations with depth. “Timeless beauty often includes digital technology solutions that blend rich tradition with smart, hidden technology,” Schrage said. Functionality For timeless bathroom design to be a success, it needs to be fundamentally functional. What’s more, that function needs to be as applicable today as it should be years from now. “That means considering all aspects of the bathroom, from ideal lighting and flooring, to maximizing the use of space for different generational needs,” said Schrage. For example, she said timeless design needs to consider vanity position, showering space, task spaces like a makeup counter and upscale additions like a soaking tub. Additionally, incorporating digital technology creates a one-of-a-kind bathroom experience that enhances your bathroom today, but also is easy to use as you age in place.
