We called out the penny-round tile in our January 2017 trends issue because it’s a look with legs. penny tiles have been a design staple for 100 years, but tiling the walls and floor for a cohesive look makes them feel fresh all over again.

The popularity of iron window frames and doors has naturally spilled over into the bathroom. The graphic contrast of the iron pops against pale marble. In this Calgary bathroom, a huge metal-framed shower mimics the dark window casements and has incredible architectural presence.

Sometimes it’s the little things that have major impact. Whether they are tiled or backed by a contrasting stone (in this example Carrara marble), shower niches are getting a custom treatment so they stand out, in a good way.

Book-matching (the practice of adjoining stone surfaces so they mirror each other, giving the impression of an opened book) gives the shower enclosure’s honed marble slabs a pleasing symmetry and fluid look, and makes the space look more expansive.

Designer: Colette Van den ThillartZvážte tento trend predĺženie šatne. Lavizácia hlavnej kúpeľne sofistikovanou tapetou (v tomto prípade ručne maľovaná stena gracie, ktorá sa obvykle vidí vo formálnejších miestnostiach) zmení kúpeľňu na zhovievavé prípravné miesto. Ak váhate s tapetou v kúpeľni, vyhýbajte sa tapetám na báze tkanín, ako je trávnatá žľaza, udržiavajte miestnosť dobre vetranú a používajte dobré lepidlo (napríklad Roman’s Pro-880).

Na podlahách sa zvyčajne objaví nové plemeno betónových dlaždíc z Maroka, ale sú inšpiratívnymi dizajnérmi, aby šli trochu odvážnejšie. V tomto prípade sa H&H Senior Design editor Sally Armstrong pozerala na diamantový vzor v štýle IKAT a nemohol sa dočkať, až to vyskúša vo svojej hlavnej kúpeľni, pričom poznamenal, že nie je príliš moderné na to, aby obstála v skúške času.
