One of the things that homeowners know for a fact is that there are some rooms that can date a home more than others. Of course, we’re talking about bathrooms. It can be anything and all at once: from the colors of the walls, or simply the finish of the countertops, to the tiles model.
Truth is, a poorly-designed bathroom has the power to send you to the wrong century. But the more you start planning for a refresh, the more you learn, right? That’s why we’ve decided to make a useful list with all the bathroom trends we think it’s time to put behind. Naturally, the list is designer-approved!
Well this is great, who has the money to remodel their bathrooms every 5-10 years at $10k each, so not practical
Guess what the new trend is everybody? It’s called do it your way!!! Don’t listen to all the trends that make you feel like your bathroom is less than. I love doing things my way! That’s what makes me feel the best. You certainly do not have to go out and spend a bunch of money just to have a bathroom that is up to date, according to something you see online or read in a magazine.
Some of the things are definitely relevant and out dated. However, I definitely disagree with a few things and just take them as someone else’s opinion:
JET TUBS – I replaced a regular tub with a jet tub. It fit in the same space and the maintenance is no more trouble than that on the old tub. Plus, I enjoy it from the few times that I use it.
FRAMELESS MIRRORS – The usefulness of the large frameless mirror out does any current fashion trend. They’re great.
DOUBLE SINKS – not sure what you’re talking about here. The additional counter space that comes with a double sink is a very welcomed advantage.
Spend a ton of money upgrading your bathroom that was upgraded five years ago then find out that, in one year, it is too dated and must be upgraded again. Cars don’t depreciate that fast.
Plus, note these are things that “designers” are tired of, not realtors or home buyers, designers. The folk that make money off of telling others how their bathrooms should look. I agree with the person before that stated that she does it as she wants it. The designers all need to make money, what better way than to keep telling everyone else how “out of date” their houses and bathrooms are so that they can then tell them what glorious designs they can produce for them at outrageous sums of money?
Not only was this article a waste of my time to read, but it was also poorly written.
