"Bathrooms are all about escape. It's Mommy's quiet zone. So you'll see them with loungers, chairs and pillows."
--Shawn Gibson, designer, co-owner of Teatro Verde, Toronto
"Putting a beverage fridge in the ensuite furthers the spa experience at home. Also, flat-screen TVs are on the upswing for high-end bathroom renovations."
--Anita Griffin, brand manager, Delta and Brizo Faucets
"Vivid colours we'll see in bathrooms for fall include bright oranges and reds. For soothing colours, look to bordeaux and celadon."
--Natalie Jikerjian, trend expert and Homesense spokesperson
"It's all about glamour. I love the use of crystal in faucets, like Barbara Barry's egg-shape handles or Rubinet's crystal powder room faucet."
--Sarah Richardson, host and coproducer, HGTV's Design Inc.
"Light in any room is critical, and that's especially true in a bathroom. When we renovate, we often add or enlarge windows and doors, and build skylights and roof lanterns. That not only adds light but also creates focal features."
--Matthew Costin, president, Englelake Home and Design Centre, Oakville, Ont.
"We're designing a combination of his-and-hers bathrooms and powder rooms. Our female clients enjoy a room that's unabashedly feminine, while their mates appreciate an exclusively masculine one."
--Kimberley Seldon, Kimberley Seldon Design Group, STYLE AT HOME decorating editor
