Last year, whether it was the newest shower head or simply a luxurious stone design, the focus was on making our bathrooms similar to a spa and hotel experience. And this year we are expecting to take master bath design up a notch with these hot trends.

#1 Spacious Showers – This year we expect to see an increase in large doorless showers with intricate tile designs. Doorless showers rank in the top five most popular products by clients, according to a American Institute of Architect’s Home Design Trends survey. Doorless showers allow for ample room to spread out and clients love being able to walk in, turn on their rain shower heads and body sprays for a spa-like experience. And the experience wouldn’t be complete without decorative tile niches and shelves to hold your shower oils and scrubs!

#2 Neutral Colors – Although white has always been a popular color option in baths and kitchens, gray color schemes have seen a dramatic increase over the past year. Homeowners are pairing lush elegant lighting, rich stone and tile-work, and neutral colors to complete their relaxing oasis at home.

#3 Creative Cabinetry – Organization has been a huge trend in all parts of the home in 2013. In the bath, homeowners love the optional large linen and built-in cabinetry. The request for built-in storage solutions in the vanity to keep hair dryers, toiletries, etc. have been increasing. Also, including outlets inside the vanities is becoming more sought after.
