Summer is quickly approaching and I really get an urge to try out something different in my home. Switching it up a bit with different colors, a new light fixture, introducing fresh plants into my home, anything that will make it come to life and scream – summer is almost here! When it comes to your bathroom, it’s definitely time to clear it out and try something uplifting and exciting to bring some new life into it. Here are some 7 really pretty bathroom trends that we can’t wait to try out:

1. Chevron Tiles

This has been one of my favorites, even before 2016 hit. There is something about chevron tiles that is classic, sophisticated, and simply looks amazing in a bathroom. Instead of installing tiles horizontally, zig-zag them for a modern twist.

3. Cool Paint Colors

Now this is a winning trend if you live in a hot climate and want to take down the temperature a notch this summer. Cool tones are a bit bathroom hit for 2016. Think blues and emerald greens. Pair them with crisp white touches of wood, tiles, and metallic accents.

4. Exposed Pipes

Metallic accents and exposing your sink pipes is becoming a trend that leans more on the industrial trend (also popular for 2016). Exposing copper or chrome pipes adds a retro industrial look that looks stunning against neutral or even black and white tiles. You may want to call a professional to help you out with this one, someone like Los Angeles plumbing can clean out your pipes and install some more fashionable ones.

5. Woody Vibes

This is a trend that may take a little getting used to – using wood in the bathroom has become hugely popular and stylish. Timber products such as wood wall tiles, planked floors, and even wood sinks, vanities, and various other bathroom elements are hotter than ever. We will let you choose if you want to try this one out, so far we aren’t sure if it’s a keeper!

6. Splashes of Pink

Not a fan of pink? Your bathroom doesn’t need to resemble Barbie’s but injecting a hint of pink can do wonders for a bathroom. Fuchsia hand towels, a small pink rug, or even a simple pink flower will add energy and color to a neutral bathroom.

7. The Glam Room

After Kylie Jenner debuted her ultimate glam room (we blogged about it here), bathroom dressing rooms have become hotter than ever. Add a little luxury to your bathroom by sectioning off a space specifically for getting glammed up. One thing is for sure; you’ll feel like a star when getting ready to go out!

8. Plants and Greens

This trend actually started last year, but it’s continuing full speed ahead into 2016. Decorating your bathroom with leafy greens isn’t a simply accessory – it’s a bathroom staple. I think this is pretty much a no brainer for bathroom décor since it makes your space feel more alive and relaxing. You would be surprised at what a big difference a few plants can make.

Bring in a Wave from the Ocean!

We all know that coral has always been a symbol of the sea, as well as it being expensive, rare, and beautiful. Decorating your bathroom with anything coral, or any kinds of shells will give your bath a invigorating, fresh beach-like ambience. Scatter seashells on beautiful plates, cover a boring mirror with seashells and paint it white, fill up candle holders with shells, or pile up ocean sponges in a nice bowl for a beautiful statement piece.

Step into the Jungle!

Turn your bath into your own tropical jungle at home with leaf-inspired wallpaper! This wallpaper is actually banana leaf, traditionally seen in the Beverly Hills Hotel. We love this look so much, and it just wraps up a tiny space with so much color and energy.

Crisp, Fresh, and All-White.

Sometimes sticking to an allover color like white is a smart way to make your bathroom look cool and clean. There are loads of bathroom suppliers such as Bathroom Deal, or even your local Home Depot where you can purchase white EVERYTHING for your bath! Just make sure to contrast the color with a muted matching hue like this designer did below. The grey herringbone backsplash in is a nice touch to off-set the white, and joining it with matching flooring makes this bathroom look like it runs for miles.

Use The Richness of Wood

You’ve probably seen beach homes with lots of wood panels, which is a staple in near-the-ocean residences. Natural wood looks inventive, coastal, and without a doubt tropical. Consider covering your ceiling with wood, swapping your tiles for warm wood flooring, or you can simply mount wooden shutters on your walls of quick wall decor!
