5 Top Bathroom Remodel Trends for 2013

Since the average individual spends a good amount of time in their bathroom, morning and night, we think it should be a room you enjoy – serene, organized, well-lit.  As it turns out, most people feel the same way.  Which is why 2013 bathroom style trends are leaning toward making your bathroom experience just that – relaxing. If 2013 is the year to remodel your bathroom, then here are five of the current bathroom remodel trends that you might want to consider as you design your new bathroom: Tile Crazed:Glass tiles are especially trendy this year, known for their sleek style and extensive color availability.  Cutting edge wood-print tile and stone-print porcelain tile are ways of bringing an earthy appearance to your spa-like room.  Consider adding a mosaic backsplash behind your bathroom sinks as a way of adding a color and design punch to an otherwise simple room.  Overall newer tile looks are bold, but still natural looking.Natural & Spa-Like:In addition to the wood and stone tile looks, wood-inspired wallpaper is catching on, adding a warm but still airy look to the room.  Wood accents on bathroom fixtures and décor is a beautiful look, and a spa-inspired whirlpool tub can give your bathroom a luxury feel.  Add a natural rain shower head and you have a relaxing bath and shower experience at your finger tips.  And though color punches are still great ways to liven up a bathroom, the trends are leaning toward bright whites and light, airy colors.Beautifully Lit:While the standard used to be only over-the-mirror lighting, now bathrooms are making an art of light, and often include overhead chandeliers as well as statement making ambient light over the bath or shower.  Lighting can make all the difference in a room feeling dim and cold to warm and inviting, day or night.  Whenever possible, letting in natural light from larger windows is a special treat of its own.Simple & Organized:The one-size-fits-all vanity is not as preferred to the well-designed utilitarian vanity.  Finding a vanity and other cabinetry that include drawers, dividers, internal shelves (or even better, internal shelves that pull out as drawers), is like gold to the tidy bathroom user.  Streamline your bathroom experience by keeping the room less cluttered and more open.Efficient & Water-Friendly:Gaining strength each year, the green movement is more than a trend, it’s a new way of doing things, with eco-friendly products and fixtures now accessible to the average homeowner.  Low flow and dual flush toilets are more than just water-friendly, they’re a good investment long-term, as you see the savings in your water bill.  Many sink, tub, and toilet options are intelligently designed with features like new hygienic glazes make them not only efficient, but also easy to clean. If you’re ready to discuss the possibilities of your own bathroom remodel, or just make a few bathroom updates, Homecare Inc is ready to listen.  We have a long history of excellence and affordability in the in the Twin Cities area and would love to help make your bathroom remodel dreams come to life!  Homecare Inc is located in Bloomington, MN and we serve Minneapolis, Bloomington, Edina, Richfield, and Eden Prairie, as well as the entire South West Metro area.
