Bathroom trends: What's making a splash?

By
Liza Finlay

Want to know what's hot? Industry and design experts come clean on the big trends in bathrooms.

"What's gaining in popularity are decorative faucets in alternative finishes that have personality -- especially rustic, weathered finishes."
--Victor Garcia, director of marketing, Price Pfister

"There's a move to more natural elements like stone and bamboo, and the introduction of organically grown cottons in towels."
--Joe Mimran, designer

"Many suppliers have invested a lot of research dollars to understand wellness and how their products can truly deliver the spa experience. The introduction of chromatherapy, luminotherapy and aromatherapy into showers, steam units and tubs has been astounding."
--Amy Henderson, marketing manager, Taps Bath Centre

"Showers are stepping to the forefront, complete with body sprays and rain heads. A lot of clients ask us to remove the tub and make the shower large and spalike."
--Ryan Martin, designer and partner, Croma Design Studio, Toronto

"Nature is playing a big part in the decor of bathrooms. The influence of exotic locales is particularly noteworthy. I'm seeing the use of palms and grainy woods."
--Shawn Gibson, designer, co-owner of Teatro Verde

"From egg-shape bathtubs to round bathroom accessories, organic shapes are in this season -- so add a new round mirror over your sink."
--Natalie Jikerjian, trend expert and Homesense spokesperson

    Hi Can I use the same porcelain tiles for the walls of my shower and for the floor? Are they strong enough for the floor?
