Bathroom Trends

From exotic textures and patterns to sculptural fixtures and features, today you can give your bathroom a more fashionable, contemporary look without sacrificing function. Tampa">Tampa Bay-area remodelers say homeowners these days have been influenced by chic boutique hotel bathrooms that stylishly mix drama, luxury, environmental sensitivity and an artistic vibe.

Sensual. A shower can be more than just a mundane daily activity; it can also be a complete sensory experience. Kohler’s DTV II custom digital hydrotherapy system wraps together water with music, ambient lighting, chromatherapy and steam—and it’s not as complicated as it sounds. All components are operated by a sleek, intuitive iPod-like control panel that can be mounted inside or outside the shower.

Eco-friendly. The TOTO Neorest II wall-hung dual-flush toilet and personal cleansing system is not only convenient, it’s also an environmentally sensitive choice; it conserves water with its dual-flush operation, using 1.6 gallons per flush on full flush mode and 0.9 gallons per flush on light flush mode.

Tile Trends. Textured tile, glass and brushed or shiny bronze or copper can be used as accents or they can cover entire walls for an even more dramatic effect.

Luxury. A television in the bath-room? Why not, when you can install Seura’s The ONE. This 19-inch, high-definition LCD TV, designed specifically for use in Seura’s vanishing mirrors, boasts a slim one-inch profile, advanced features and installation flexibility. No one need know it’s anything more than a mirror—except you. Just mount it like you would a picture and enjoy—no renovation required.
