What’s Trending in Bathroom Design?

The kitchen and bath industry professionals of KBtribechat will be discussing the latest in bathroom design at the next KBtribechat! photo-3

Here are our KBtribechat discussion questions: 

Our lighting choices for the bathroom are ever expanding and evolving. LED is being added in creative ways.

Finish options for plumbing fixtures and bath hardware are abundant to say the least.  With so many choices available, the personalization trend in home design is strong….but is there a most popular material?

At KBtribechat, we have noted that walk-in showers are very popular.  There are so many shower head design choices available. What type are you specifying for your clients? What type of shower head(s) do you prefer and why?

Q3 – What’s trending regarding bathroom showers?

Let’s talk countertops, flooring and walls!

Q4 – What surfaces are currently trending for the bathroom?

Clarifying the Trends

A kitchen and bath industry design discussion!

DSC04230

Q1) Are your clients looking for something their neighbors and friends don’t have yet? If so how do you give it to them?

Q2) Is black the new white for trophy kitchens? We’ve seen this reported a lot lately. What about gray?

According to Forbes, Christopher Peacock (luxury cabinet brand) and Newell Turner (the editorial director of Hearst Design Group) say that the open kitchen is going out of fashion. ““The wall has gone back up because nobody really wants to live in the kitchen all of the time,” Turner says. In its place he is starting to see kitchens that include some of the elements of the open kitchen, such as seating, or even fireplaces, but that return to the enclosed space it once was.”

Q3) Is the open plan kitchen is on it’s way out?

Unfinished business from last week’s #KBtribechat discussion:

Q4) True or False – There are differences between generations in what they want for their kitchens and bathrooms and how they shop for them. Please explain your view.
