If I were doing a bath now and had the budget for it, I'd go for the hands-free faucets.


The hex tiles? Really? Just plain white ones? I ask because our guest bath has these from the previous owner and I really hate them, and was considering replacing them -- but maybe I shouldn't!

Those blue mosaic baths are gorgeous, pp. makes me feel old world. I would never do it because i can o ly deal with large tiles and minimal grout.

So bathrooms should never be updated?

Don't know if it's in style, but I love this bubble tile from Mercury Mosaics!

Am seeing more encaustic cement tiles in pictures for kitchens and bathrooms. Love the Old World feel of these and they last forever. Of course that's probably a negative in this age where people seem to change everything up at least every ten years.

+1! I am so surprised at how many people think this looks good. It is absolutely going to date whatever room you put it in.

So will whatever else you chose, thanks to HGTV and the ilk. Everything looks dated after 10 to 15 years, chose what you like.

I don't know, I think that some choices of finishes are better than others. For example, I know someone who remodeled her kitchen and 2 bathrooms about a decade ago. Because she chose high quality finishes without purposely being "trendy" I think all of her choices still look very attractive and you can't pinpoint an exact year that she probably did her remodeling.

Right, but this thread is about being "on trend." Choosing on that basis is likely to lead to things looking dated. The more common a material/style is, the more likely it is to look dated.

I think all white is probably hardest to date and easiest to update with paint and soft furnishings.
