NUGGETS FROM THE WORLD OF RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
Eight Bathroom Design Trends for 2021
You’ll probably note two important details about this post: 1) It’s much later than usual, and 2) it’s my first trends post of the new year. Yippee for the second and apologies for the first. I forgot to set it up yesterday when I usually prepare my posts. Blame it on the fog of life or turning 60 or the distractions of an absolutely insane news cycle.
At any rate, here are eight trends to look for in residential bathrooms this year from four different sources (Pinterest, Houzz, Ferguson and the NKBA) via my latest Forbes.com coverage. Next week, I’ll cover kitchens. The week after that, wellness design overall.
Deep soaking tubs are a 2021 trend, possibly because of an urge to escape the extraordinary stresses of our era
