Floating Vanities
Although floating vanities are known for their clean looks, the space-saving storage solution now offers more customization possibilities than ever, with sinks, faucets, and hardware to suit any style. Wall-mounted bathroom vanities are available in a variety of configurations, ranging from a complete unit with a countertop, sink, and storage base—like a freestanding vanity without the legs—to partial sets and entirely separate pieces. The latter option allows you to choose the optimum arrangement—for example, the width and length of the countertop or the kind and position of storage—without being constrained by the space available around the plumbing. Storage cabinets can be hung vertically or horizontally, open or closed, and higher or lower on the wall. A vanity that is mounted on the wall is light and airy, and it does not appear to be a large, heavy box on the floor. And regardless of its setup, floating vanities make it easier to clean bathroom floors, too.
Quartz Countertops
As one of the hardest natural materials, quartz is resistant to scratching and staining, and is also easy to maintain. So it's no surprise that quartz dominated all other materials in the NKBA 2021 bathroom trends report, in which 74% of designers picked it as the top countertop material for baths. Because quartz surfacing is non-porous, it is inherently less susceptible to fostering bacteria—an important trait in a damp environment. In line with today's contemporary-leaning bath designs, these countertops have sleek profiles with few seams, which also adds to their low-maintenance appeal. Quartz countertops are strongly trending toward lighter finishes, reflecting the warmth anticipated in popular 2021 colours and the aesthetics gaining a foothold in bathrooms.
Coloured concrete sinks
Do you recall your Nan's old pink-tiled bathroom? Yes, that was fantastic. Bath fixtures and fittings in blushes, pastels, and pinks are making a big comeback, which is great news. While coloured bathtubs can be costly (they're a huge designer fad in other parts of the world), you may still get the effect in other ways.
Vanities with two sinks
Double vanities are really useful. It provides both partners with their own area to prepare for the day and can save a lot of time, especially in the morning. Consider how much space a double vanity will take up before installing it. It may not be the best choice in smaller bathrooms because it reduces the amount of counter space available.
Open shelving
This has been a growing trend for years, both for style and space. Opens shelving can make a space look more luxurious and spa-like (think plush white folded towels), as well as friendlier and more inviting. Importantly, it also makes your space look larger. This really comes in handy for smaller spaces such as bathrooms. For this reason, many are choosing a vanity with an open shelf at the bottom. Others are building in extra open shelving on the walls. Both of these can also give you more of a farmhouse style look.
Open bottom vanities
Yes, those old flat-to-the-ground cabinets appear oh so archaic these days. Nowadays, open-bottom vanities are preferred. They give the bathroom a bit more area and make it feel less cluttered. Make sure your tiles go all the way to the wall if you're changing a vanity without replacing the flooring.
