Retro materials adapted to modern times are finding their place in bath remodeling projects. Large format wall tiles for walls and flooring is a perfect example of this trend that will make your bath space look modern and chic.
Removable storage
Cubby holes that have been an integral part of showers for the longest of time are slowly being replaced by removable storage such as a teak bench. The reason is quite simple – cubby holes in showers are a breeding ground for mildew and are difficult to clean. Having removable storage in your shower will make them easier to clean and replace when you are ready to part ways.
Connecting the indoor and outdoor
Opening your bathroom space to the outdoor feels so natural and can bring a lot of natural light in your bathroom as well as beautiful views. Large windows, glass doors, an open floorpan concept and private access to an outdoor area are key to achieving this beautiful look.
