Whether you refer to them as bathrooms, restrooms, washrooms, or
the lavatory, we all spend time in this (sometimes) fashionable room. Thanks to
COVID-19, this year’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show and International
Builders’ Show were completely virtual. Keep reading to discover what’s to come
in the world of 2021 bathroom design.
Freestanding Bathtubs
You
can thank COVID-19 yet again for giving us more time in the restroom during
2020. The industry saw a significant increase in the number of people utilizing
bathtubs, as more prominent companies reported a rise in bathtub interest,
leading to sales. People who have been spending more time at home with their
spouse or children often look to the tub as a retreat; a way to unwind behind a
closed door. Freestanding tubs in particular have been a popular choice, and
retailers have answered the call, offering different styles, heights, colors,
and finishes.
LED Lighting
While
LED bulbs aren’t exactly novel, the light fixtures, chandeliers, and strip
lights are continuously making style advancements. Hidden LED lights in
particular have been all the rage; some turn on when you open cabinets or
cupboard doors, while others light up mirrors or shelves. Certain LED strips
have been used to illuminate areas above bathtubs, around mirrors, and inside
vanities. When used underneath bathtubs, hidden LED lighting gives them a
unique floating appearance.
Filter Showerheads
Water pollution and chlorination isn’t just a factor for drinking water. People
are growing more concerned about the dangers posed by unfiltered water when it
comes to themselves or family members. From water purification filters to
scented in-shower boosters, showerhead manufacturers are pulling out all the
stops: and consumers are happily supporting the changes. Technology has been
implemented as well; some showerheads integrate with Alexa and Google for
voice-activated assistance.
Bidets
Bidets
are fairly standard in French homes, and many Americans are catching on to the
trend. These low-mounted versions of a sink were invented in 17th century
France. Though the idea isn’t unique, the technology that accompanies newer
versions are. Some come equipped with heated seats, oscillating and pulsating
rinse wands, deodorizer, and dryer.
Multi-Faceted Faucets
From
two-tone to two-texture finishes, faucets come in a variety of colors, styles,
and finishes. Some faucets boast a smooth overall finish with a wavy,
water-like finish on specific areas such as handles. Matte black and antique
gold are two fresh finishes to accompany the metallurgic designs.
