Renovating a bathroom correctly can pay huge dividend. If you plan to stay in your house, you can create a comfortable environment that’s tailor-made for you. If you plan to sell, bathroom renovations are among the most lucrative for buyers. Here are a few bathroom trends to ponder if you’re considering a bathroom makeover.

Nature among the hottest bathroom trends


What’s not to love about the natural look, especially for a bathroom. Refitting your bathroom with natural materials can really give your space a lift. Stone surfaces for floors and walls are among the hottest bathroom trends. Stone is incredibly durable and unbelievably warm, compared to other options like tile. Wood is also a choice material for the bathroom, even though it is porous. Careful treatment of the wood to prepare it for bathroom use is required.

Glass is another excellent material for use in the bathroom, especially when decorating in a natural motif. Glass is exceptionally durable in larger thicknesses, and can be cut for use on walls and counter tops.

Window glass can be frosted to create privacy while still allowing the transmission of light. In addition, glass can be painted using Glassprimer™ glass paint. This specially formulated paint comes in a wide range of colors, and makes a permanent bond with the glass surface. Once cured, the paint will not peel, chip or fade, and when applied according to the manufacturer’s warranty, it is guaranteed to perform for 10 years.

Glassprimer™ glass paint can be tinted to match the paint palette of any major paint manufacturer. This allows you to match Glassprimer™ glass paint to any ordinary wall or ceiling paint. In addition, Glassprimer™ glass paint can be used on other non-porous surfaces, like stone and tile. You’ll get the same great results for about $1 per square foot.

New trends are emerging in bathroom design, and they definitely incorporate glass. Consumers have some definite preferences for their bathrooms, and calm happens to be one of them. So how do you “calm” a bathroom? Here are a few tips for channeling your bathroom’s inner spa.

Glass can help create calm luxury

Color. One good way to bring order to the chaos of your bathroom is through color. Using neutral colors, natural colors or a monochromatic color palette can help bring a measure of calm to your bathroom. Light colors and soft lighting can also help you get that spa-like feeling.

Open shelves, open vanities. Open shelving creates storage while maximizing space. This is true especially in small bathrooms. Consider open wire or glass shelves to create space for towels and other standard bathroom items. Clever use of space in vanities can allow for significant storage while disguising and discouraging clutter.

Privacy. Creating privacy in a bathroom can be a challenge, especially when the bathroom contains a window. Glassprimer™ glass paint can help turn an ordinary transparent window into a permanently frosted glass that affords complete privacy without significantly reducing light transmission. In addition, glass painted with Glassprimer™ glass paint offers superior UV-protection. By rejecting UV radiation from the Sun, you can reduce the temperature in the room by eliminating heat buildup. This helps you maintain comfort and reduce energy consumption.

Parity. Most homeowners focus their expenditures on the master bathroom, but you can carry themes (and materials) through to other bathrooms in the house. By using similar materials in multiple spaces in the house, you can not only save money, but create continuity in your decorating theme. This could mean using the same color palette, paints, glass or tile, and other materials in multiple bathrooms (or other spaces) in your home.
