What's Hot In The Bathroom

In interior design, an incredible amount of emphasis is placed upon decorating to the trends in the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom, and finally, the bathroom is seeing an increase in the makeover department.

Long seen as a room used only for specific needs, a recent trend in bathroom design is to remodel the room in such a way that it makes it a room that you stay in. This can range from adding a cushioned chair to sit in while applying make-up, showers with a sitting area, and all-around décor that makes you not in a rush to leave.

When it comes to the new look and feel of bathrooms, a pattern seen across all styles is to design the room in such a way that it gives off a sense of tranquility, and for the space to allow you to relax and feel rejuvinated. White does just that when used in bathroom décor, as it adds a clean, crisp feel to the room. It's no surprise that it's a top color choice for this room, as it can work in a modern, traditional, or contemporary space.

Natural elements are also popular in bathroom design, with both the use of natural elements such as wood and stone, and also colors of nature, like a bright blue or a cool green.

Add Energy & Character With Floral Prints

In the summer, flowers are full of life with their vibrant colors, and in the fall, trees and flowers radiate a calming, yet beautiful shade of energy. Just like flowers and leaves can add energy and life to the yards that they adorn, florals in your home can have a similar impact.

Flexibility With Florals

The color and size of the pattern controls the level of impact that the florals will have in your room. For a modern feel, try adding a larger floral pattern, while a smaller pattern is great for adding a classic, vintage feel to your space. If you have multiple patterns that you love, go ahead and mix them! As long as the patterns have the same background color, the combination will work and add extra personality to the room.

Erba

One of the pros to incoporating florals into your home design is that they can be used in various ways. From carpeting, area rugs, throw pillows, and curtains, your options are endless when it comes to designing. Erba, a pattern from the Dabbieri Collection, creates a sense of calm and comfort with its classic floral star pattern. The pattern, available in six distinct colors, is on promotion until September 31st, 2016.

How To Be Unique In Your Home Design

Gone are the days where cookie cutter, run of the mill designs are popular in interior design. More than ever, you're now walking into your friends' homes and seeing unique, out of the box design statements.

Unique Décor Adds Dimension

Being unique in your home décor truly makes the space yours, but it also gives your room character, dimension, and diversity. It's a simple yet fun way to let your personality and style shine through in your home.

Replace Boring With Bold

So how do you add a unique spin to your décor? You can always switch out stale and less exciting colors from your current room and replace them with bright, bold colors. Incorporate the colors in artwork, throw pillows, or even in your furniture.

Texture and patterns are another simple way to be creative and unique with your décor. A fuzzy or crocheted throw blanket, or an animal print rug adds instant character, truly making your space individual to your personality.
