ENDURING ELEGANCE
Homeowners don't want to invest
in fussy, flash-in-the-pan fads that
will look dated in a few years.
Instead, they're taking a long-term
view, leaning towards bathrooms
with clean, timeless and elegant
designs that will remain in vogue
for years to come.
"Many customers are wanting
something that will withstand
the course of time," Zondag
says, "including bold, fun tiles,
minimalistic vanities in shaker or
slab-front styles, dark tiles or vinyl
flooring, and lots of black or gold
accents."

DRAMATIC DETAILS
Matte black finishes and accents remain
popular picks to add a sense of drama to
the bathroom. Black bathtubs, faucets,
shower heads and even safety grab bars
are having a moment.
At the same time, Maryssa Zondag of
Dynasty Bathrooms & Kitchen Centre
has noticed an increase in orders and
inquiries for brushed or polished gold
finishes. Champagne bronze is gaining
momentum as another trendy tone.
"I personally renovated my bathroom
with bold accent tiles in a herringbone
pattern with matte black finishes," she
says. "I absolutely love my bathroom."

for bathrooms, local experts point to five major
trends that are commanding attention in 2020:
