One of the things you have to decide as a contractor or reseller is how to navigate fluctuations in customer preferences.

Some trends are like a flash in the pan, they may last a month or one summer – like certain designs or colors. But other trends stick around for a while – like jewel tones, neutral colors and accents, and simple designs.

Let’s take a look at some 2022 bathroom trends and see how you can mix them with timeless elements to create great bathroom remodels that won’t look outdated next year.

Vanities as a Strong Focal Point

Kitschy and cluttered are outdated looks, especially in a utility-forward space like a bathroom. And recently, more homeowners and designers are using the bathroom vanity as the room’s focal point. That means whatever vanity piece you choose to use or carry in your inventory has a big impact on your appeal to customers.

Alya Bath offers a variety of freestanding and wall mount (or floating) vanities in a variety of materials, finishes, and colors. Our collections are simple pieces that can easily be used as the focal point or statement in the space.

Woodgrain Vanities

Woodgrain is also a popular look this year when it comes to bathroom vanities and accessories. For several years, natural trends have stayed popular, with neutrals, earth tones, and plant and wood accents leading the pack.

Alya also has several bathroom vanities in stock that feature rosewood doors and accents.

Minimalism

Minimalism is also a popular trend, and it’s been a solid design choice since the 1960s and 70s. But with the recent digital transformation and other growing concerns, minimalism is a trend that is likely here to stay.

Some of the top reasons why minimalism is so popular (and will continue to be), according to Autonomous, include:

• Pandemic economy – we’ve swapped excess and luxury for the essentials
• Environmental concerns – many of us are focusing on more sustainable consumption practices (from remodeling materials to food and fuel)
• Debt reduction
• Aesthetic preference – the clean, uncluttered look is more appealing to many people for a variety of reasons
• Peace of mind, clarity, and focus – the benefits of minimalism have been appreciated by several generations
• Overall decline in materialism

Wall Mount or Floating Vanities

Wall mount, or floating, vanities are also gaining popularity because they lend themselves to that modern, minimalist aesthetic. It increases the elegance of the space while providing an area under the vanity for personal touches in the form of storage and décor.

Our Paterno collection of bathroom vanities is full of wall mount options. These vanities have the added bonus of helping to make the bathroom look larger. They also off any tile or other flooring patterns or designs that have been added to the room.

Multipurpose Storage

Many bathroom renovation projects are being undertaken with the goal of creating a calm space with lots of multipurpose storage to reduce bathroom clutter. Alya’s vanities come in a range of sizes and styles that focus on function and storage, while still looking chic and unique.

Warm Tones

The trend of gray, white, and other neutral colors in bathroom décor is finally shifting – to warmer tones. Many people are looking to create a slightly more bold look in their bathrooms, and it’s the perfect space to do that.

Bathrooms are smaller rooms in the house, so a bold effect won’t be overwhelming. And the warm colors go nicely with wood or plant accents.
