Designing a bathroom should include aesthetics, functionality, serenity, and personality. Bathrooms or powder rooms should feel relaxing while also showing off your design eye like the rest of your home. Homeowners that are remodeling their bathroom or who are building a new home should know what colors, fixtures, and elements are trending. Keeping up with bathroom trends can help you increase the value of your home while also achieving a modern look. Rasmussen Custom Cabinetry has gathered some trends to include in your bathroom during 2023. 

1- Naturalistic Vanities

Natural finishes and materials are popular trends for many home aspects. Real wood, rustic finishes, and more earthy tones are bathroom trends you should consider implementing in 2023. Wood is the most common material being used right now in bathroom design. It offers warmth and makes your bathroom organic. Stone tile or stone sinks also help bring nature inside in a cohesive way. 

Rasmussen Custom Cabinets can help install quality wood cabinets in your bathroom. We offer walnut, oak, and other wood options to ensure that every design style can be represented. We also offer different stain colors to help make your cabinets unique. 

2- Bold Color

While all-white bathrooms are still popular, adding bold color and pieces with drama are becoming more popular in modern homes. Going bold in the bathroom can help make these small spaces memorable. Include bold paint, patterned wallpaper, or a gold statement mirror to add a focal point. Colored tiles or colored vanities are also an easy way to add a pop. 

3- Vertical Line Details

Paneled cabinet doors, vertical wallpapers, and tall mirrors can all help you achieve an illusion of a taller bathroom and stay on trend. Many homeowners are flipping the popular subway tiles and making them vertical to stand out among other home enthusiasts. Vertical lines bring a fresh aesthetic to bathrooms in different sizes of homes. 

Shiplap, rectangular tiles, or a striped accent wall behind the sink can help you accomplish this bathroom trend. 

4- Mixed Material Cabinets

Mixing tones and materials is not a new one on the list of bathroom trends, but it is becoming more common in bathrooms. Wood cabinets or drawers with marble counters or framing create visual appeal in your bathroom. Mixing styles and appearances with the natural and sleek will help your bathroom seem less curated. 

While bathrooms typically only have lower cabinets, including different styles or colors of cabinets in different places in the bathroom can help meet the trend and include more color. 

5- Freestanding Statement Tubs

An elegant bathtub can be a focal point for the bathroom and add to the value of the room. Increasing your home value is a great benefit of staying on trend, but dramatic tubs can also help improve your quality of life. Self-care is important in a stressful world, so not only are large tubs part of the bathroom trends, but it also helps working adults feel more relaxed. 

Your bathroom and home should be a place of peace and rest. Creating a peaceful bathroom can help you unwind after a long week. 

6- Brass Hardware

Choosing the finishing touches for any home can be challenging. You need to choose hardware and fixtures that help bring all the other elements together, which can be accomplished by brass hardware. Unlacquered brass is a timeless material, so you won’t have to worry about your serene bathroom going out of style anytime soon. Matte finishes have been popular in the past few years, but these are fading and more metals are working their way back into bathrooms. 

7- Bold Colored Tile Or Statement Stone

As previously mentioned, bold colors are making their way back on the bathroom trends list, and many designers and builders are incorporating them in backsplashes, shower tiles, and stone. Complex and visually interesting flooring and shower tiles are all the rage in 2023 and will be something memorable inside an intimate space. Another benefit of these tiles is that they don’t have to be expensive to pack a punch. Creating a pattern with colored basic tiles is enough to show your attention to detail.

Different bathroom layouts can help improve the functionality of the bathroom and serve homeowners and their needs while using the bathroom. Using your bathroom vanities helps you to get ready for the day or get ready for bed. Many couples love having double vanities so that they have their own space. It can be hard to determine which vanity option is best for your bathroom layout. In this blog, we will show the pros and cons of single or double vanities.

Why Have A Bathroom Vanity?

A vanity is what holds your sink and can be connected to the wall, free-standing, or made into cabinets that extend outwards. Vanities and countertop space help to store makeup, skincare, razors, fash wash, washcloths, hand soap, and hairbrushes. It gives you options to keep your items easily accessible with more concealed storage underneath the sink. 

Pros Of Single Vanities

The biggest benefit of single vanities is the ease of installation. One sink, with singular plumbing, is easier to map out and install around other bathroom necessities. The cost of installation is also cheaper because there are fewer components to pay for. 

If you have a compact bathroom, single vanities are going to complement your space the best. Smaller counters, sinks, and mirrors will help you avoid having a cramped and claustrophobic bathroom.

Specific vanities will have different sizes of storage. Your vanity can feature more drawers or open cabinets, depending on your needs. If you have extra width to work with and only one sink, you could include an extra drawer or two.

Since you can have more storage space, you will also have more space around the sink and counter space to stack or store items. Having counter space is important in a bathroom to hold hot hair tools, toothbrushes, and soap.

Cons Of Single Vanities

Every element has its cons, so it is important to know all the information about vanities before installing them in your bathroom. For example, single vanities can look odd in a large bathroom. Filling the space appropriately helps to increase its value. Having a lot of negative space around the vanity can be useless. 

For large families who are using the same bathroom, single vanities will not provide enough usable space for multiple people to use the bathroom at one time. Getting ready can be made difficult if you only have one sink and very limited counter space. 

Pros Of Double Vanities

Double vanities provide more useable space for multiple people to use the bathroom at the same time. This means that teens can get ready for school faster, couples avoid arguments while getting ready for work, and children and adults can get ready simultaneously. Double sinks are nice when you may only have one bathroom for a large group of people. 

Two sinks will require more counter space around them. This means your counter will look less crowded with items. More width of counter space means you will have more under-sink storage space. This will help you hide items like cleaning supplies, plungers, or toilet paper that are not currently needed. 

All custom cabinets with Rasmussen Custom Cabinetry can be customized to your measurements, but when you have double vanities there is more flexibility for wider drawers, tall cabinets, etc. Double vanities will give you more freedom to try different cabinet or countertop options. 

Cons Of Double Vanities

Installing two sinks means more piping and plumbing fixtures. You will need to ensure all mechanisms are connected and sealed properly to ensure you have the correct water pressure. If you are doing your bathroom remodel or construction yourself, this can be a major turnoff when it comes to double vanities. 

Surprisingly, some double vanities have less counter space because they need to fit two sinks. This is a con that is dependent on how small or large your bathroom is. Depending on how far apart you can space your sinks, the amount of free counter space you will also have to work with.

1- Wall Cabinets

The best option if you want to maximize floor space is cabinets that are secured to the wall. Rasmussen Custom Cabinetry can help design different sizes of cabinets for your home office or business building. We can create cabinets with flat door panels to help make your office feel professional. Or we can create lower and upper cabinets in a break room to store snacks, paper towels, or office supplies. Wall cabinets can be removed when you move so you can use them in another space if desired. 

2- Built-In Office Cabinets

Another custom option for office cabinets is to install shelving and cabinets right into your home. Built-in cabinets stay with the home or office space, so they can not move with you. Built-ins have some better advantages than wall cabinets though, such as better durability, and options for open cubbies, doors, shelving, and more. 

Using built-in cabinetry in your office is a sleek option that will help you display some decorative items while also having a closed space for less appealing items like pencils, file folders, or sticky notes. While built-ins are more of an investment than filling cabinets, they can help you maximize space. 

3- Filing Cabinets

Filing cabinets are the most common option for office storage. There are multiple sizes, colors, and materials for filing cabinets. Some common options for filing cabinets and their benefits will be discussed below. 

3 drawer filing cabinets usually fit underneath a desk but can be moved to a corner or under a window if needed. These filling cabinets are usually made out of metal and have separate drawers with movable dividers to help you store items of all sizes. 

Filling cabinets are usually used for files, but with different-sized drawers, you can store important documents, office supplies, notebooks, or even snacks for your workday. 

If you have a lot of important documents with sensitive information, a locking filing cabinet may be the best solution for you. These office cabinets can protect client information or important records for you in the event of a break-in. They can also help you keep from losing important items because they will be stored in a separate location than on your desk where they can get shuffled around. 

4- Mobile Filing Cabinets

Maybe one day you like all of your files to be stored right next to you or under your desk, but what do you do when the space starts to feel cramped? Mobile filing cabinets, or ones with wheels, can be moved around your office space to give you more freedom and can help increase productivity. 

5- Bookcases

For homeowners or business owners who don’t have the money to install new cabinets or built-in cabinetry, using bookcases can give you a similar look with a smaller price tag. Bookcases come in many different heights, widths, and materials and they can be purchased from many chain stores. While bookcases are not exactly office cabinets, they can help you stay organized in a less expensive way.

Bookcases can be customized to hold a variety of items, no matter their size. The only downside to bookcases is that all items you place on the shelves will be visible, so if you hate seeing clutter, you will have to keep it tidy or choose another option.

6- Office Pedestals

Similar to filing cabinets, office pedestals are usually shorter (2-3 drawers) and are usually mobile. They can fit in small corners, or you can use multiple of them without using a tall 6-drawer filing cabinet. Pedestals are also easily obtainable from stores like Ikea, Wayfair, and Amazon.
