Top Trends in Kitchen & Bath

Spending more time at home—specifically in our kitchens and bathrooms—is motivation to upgrade our spaces, whether it’s a big renovation or small updates and DIY projects. Get inspired with the top trends in kitchen and bathroom design.

Bathroom Trends

A Spa-Like Bathroom

Recreating the spa experience in your bathroom is wanted more than ever. Get the look with marble floors, an airy or light palette, and a decadent free-standing bathtub.

Creative Storage

Your bathroom is one place where you can have a lot of fun with your storage. Consider a tall linen closet beside your vanity, or as a fun DIY, repurpose industrial piping to create a funky towel ladder that will give your decor an edge.

Dramatic Décor

A dramatic design can be as luxurious as the all-white spa bathroom and is popping up in more homes. Think gridded shower kits, a black and white palette, graphic wallpaper, grouted subway tile, and a standout black tub that goes against the grain of a typical bathroom design.

Free-Standing Tubs and Larger Showers

Opt for either a free-standing tub or a larger shower (or both!) as the statement piece that enables you to relax and refresh. Upgrade your shower backsplash, shower heads, or get a kit that does the majority of the DIY work for you. There is more variety than ever for tubs in size, shape, and colour for further personalization.

Floating Vanities

Floating vanities give you the best of both worlds: optional built-in cabinetry for storage and more floor space. More floor space can make your room seem larger, showcase your tiles, and create the illusion of lightness, which is perfect for a spa retreat.

Kitchen Trends

Hardworking Appliances

Make sure your appliances are doing the work for you and not vice versa. A counter depth fridge with a custom-flex temp drawer can easily transform temperatures to either refrigerate or freeze your desired food and drink. It is ideal for home chefs and entertainers who may need to customize storage space.

Sleek Storage

Storage is a key component to any kitchen, but sleek storage and cabinets ensure a minimalist aesthetic. Try bi-fold doors or cabinets without handles for a streamlined design.

Mixed Metals

Metals—whether uniformed or mixed together—add depth, dimension, and style to your kitchen. Try the trend with faucets, pulls, light pendants and even sinks. Take it a step further by opting for metal chairs or stools at your kitchen island for a bit of pizzazz.

Restaurant Imitations

Many homeowners are thinking like a chef for inspiration with their own kitchen renovations. Consider adding a multi-functional island whether it’s one that has open or closed storage and shelving for displays; an island with a sink and counter space for meal prep and casual meals; or one with a cooktop for additional cooking space. A pot filler at your stove makes it easy to fill your pot with water for your finest pasta dish. A banquette is a restaurant favourite for a cozy nook that brings you to an at-home bistro booth. A banquette built with cabinetry also adds extra storage.

Playful Backsplashes

Backsplashes are an easy and affordable way to give your kitchen some personality. Play with different colours and textures or use a different pattern on a classic tile for a quick refresh. Check out our video on the different patterns you can experiment with subway tile.
