Trends in home design, just as they do in fashion, tend to evolve. The look of the interior parts of the house is no different. Bathrooms, for one, don't have to exude apparent luxury. Experts in this field say that today, 2014 bathroom design all about creating subtlety, even amid all the extravagance.

Even for the most expensive bathroom upgrades, with costs ranging at least $12,000, don't have to appear overly ornamented. When entering luxury bathrooms in the most lavish of modern homes and the sleekest of hotels, people want the area spacious, organized and clean – essentially giving them the spa atmosphere.

That being said, however, a bathroom's size doesn't speak for luxury or otherwise. Renovation specialists aren't surprised when owners of four-bedroom contemporary homes ask for their toilet and bath to be of modest size. Applying the principles of minimalism – and a keen eye for organization – is vital.

Regular-sized bathrooms can achieve the "subtle" high-end look with "smart hiding" of cabinet and storage. Achieving the clean look of this section is possible with bath items neatly kept and ...
... organized, coupled with well-planned lighting. The aim, according to experts, is to hide the clutter and provide appropriate lighting. A CD player in the bathroom completes that look.

Specialists also emphasize the wood flooring and chrome fixtures as rising bathroom renovation trends, which are often carefully matched with the style of the home. For that modern, urban appeal, use of gray slate flooring and big floating sinks is often the way to go. Some homeowners also want gleaming white tiles with matching clear glass shower for that soothing, clean and subtle atmosphere.

Loud colors are a thing of the past, as people now prefer to be relaxed and refreshed when they enter and leave the bathroom. A popular way to ensure this is going for Earth colors. Choosing naturally colored stones, which effectively remind bathroom users of the tranquility of nature, is also a common trick.

Because details matter, settling only for functional and decorative hardware is important. Shower curtain rings from Hooks & Rings bring together functionality and style so that they do not only look decorative; they are also dependable. Made of nickel-plated brass and stainless steel, the shower curtain rings are corrosion-free and friction-free. They effectively eliminate the need for tugging or pulling, because they glide smoothly on shower curtain rods.

With the modern renovation tricks in mind, a bathroom can’t too far from being the best spot in a luxury home.
