Design Your Way to a Cleaner Bathroom with These Ideas

Everyone wants a cleaner home after the past year and a half. Heavily used areas like kitchens and bathrooms are especially high on the list, making easy-to-clean surfaces the hottest of this year’s home design trends. Here are the five easy to clean bathroom design ideas that are just as stylish as they are squeaky clean:

1) Warm Colors and Durable Paint

The top colors for 2021 are vibrant, earthy, and warm. New advancements are making paints more hygienic, stain-resistant, and able to withstand vigorous cleaning. And new durable paints will help your surfaces stay cleaner for longer. 

2) Quartz Countertops

Quartz is one of the hardest natural materials, resistant to scratching and staining, and easy to maintain. Plus, quartz surfacing is non-porous, so it is less likely to hold bacteria. Quartz countertops also have sleek profiles with few seams, which adds to their low-maintenance appeal.

3) Unique Wall Tiles

Large tiles and stone slabs not only look stylish in your shower, but fewer grout lines mean less to clean, making them a hot choice in the bath. Thanks to their minimalist appearance, subway tiles in various sizes, colors, and finishes, stacked side-to-side or up-and-down, are another hot low maintenance bathroom design trend.

4) Floor Tiles that Mimic Wood

As beautiful as hardwood floors are, they do not always work in the bathroom. Porcelain and ceramic continue to be the preferred bathroom flooring due to their durability, easiness to clean, hypoallergenic characteristics, and resistance to moisture and bacteria. Innovations in design have led to ceramic or porcelain tile that looks just like wood flooring, so you get the best in form and function, ideal for low maintenance bathroom design.

5) Smart Toilets

Smart toilets are definitely finding their way into the post-pandemic home. They have hands-free features, like self-closing lids and touch-free flushing; some even have self-cleaning technology. Smart toilets also have streamlined profiles and wall-mount installations, eliminating the traditional exposed plumbing, and making cleaning easier.
