The plubing fixtures in your bathroom are the main focal points—you have your sink, toilet, and tub/shower. These fixtures set the tone for the bathroom and can instantly either add or detract from the style you are going for. If you’re interested in the latest and greatest styles for plumbing fixtures, continue reading to find out the hottest new trends, and then call for plumbing services to get them in your home!
- Style: The modern/minimalistic style is very popular right now. Consumers are choosing sleek lines, simple design, and a clean, contemporary feeling. Industrial-looking faucets and channel spouts are both popular right now.
- Technology: One big trend (that we think will just continue to become more mainstream as time goes on) is the use of technology in the design of plumbing fixtures. We are seeing hands-free activated faucets, specialized spray patterns in shower heads, and water conservation technology, like a timed automatic shut off. These additions are all very functional and user friendly, so it makes sense that they will continue to climb in popularity. Although it may seem like the installation would be a hassle, a good contractor can install these as part of their plumbing services with no problem.
- Finishes: A couple of stand-out finishes that are “in” right now are copper and bronze. These two finishes seem to complement the modern or industrial style and so are being used more and more. One new look that is becoming popular is a black finish on faucets. A couple of safe bets if you are looking for a finish that is timeless and true are chrome, nickel, or stainless steel. These last three are in style right now and probably always will be.
One of the plumbing services that many contractors offer is assistance with selecting fixtures that will work best in your home. If you still aren’t sure what type of new fixtures you want, call your local contractor for plumbing services, and they’ll give expert advice.
