Dress your vanity -- top trends in bathroom accessories

Your bathroom may be built for functionality, but choosing the right accessories for your vanity can make it feel fabulous. Tissue covers, soap dishes and even wastebaskets can lend a luxurious feel to a space where you likely spend a good portion of your morning and evening. New bathroom accessories can also be a less expensive way to update the look and feel of your bathroom — no contractor required.

Whether you're looking for a full vanity set or just a few elegant pieces to upgrade your countertop, try these top trends on for size:

Bold and black
Top designers say homeowners are starting to stray from the recently popular soft gray color palette to bolder black finishes, often provide a contrast with the white bathrooms of today. Double down on boldness by adding texture, like in Labrazel's Discus collection.

 

Industrial feel
Designers are seeing a resurgence of metal-framed showers, exposed plumbing and other industrial details. Bring the feel to your vanity by choosing dark finishes like pewter, bronze or gunmetal, like in Pigeon & Poodle's Tanlay collection.

Spa-like tranquility
Escape the hyper-stimulation of today’s world and retreat to a bathroom that feels more like a spa at a five-star hotel. Choose sultry hues and indulgent textures to evoke feelings of relaxation and luxury, as seen in Kassatex's Shagreen line.

White and gray marble
A neutral color palette feels clean and classic and will go with any imaginable decor. Kassatex's Alabaster collection comes in both white and gray.

Art Deco inspired
Mirrored surfaces and modern styles with antique finishes give a nod to the classic home decor style that's making a comeback nationwide.

 

First blush
Rose gold and similar shades have been dubbed “millennial pink” for their popularity with the 20-to-40-year-old set. Once only popular in jewelry and clothing, the trend is now extending to bathrooms, where pink can add a soft, feminine quality to a neutral room, as seen in Mike + Ally's Rose Quartz collection.

 

You can purchase a bathroom accessory collection all together or begin building it one piece at a time, starting with essentials like a soap pump and wastebasket. Don't forget to add a touch of glamour (and utility) with a carafe and glass for your vanity as well.
