[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think travertine is on its way out, which is a good thing.

Shower embedded into ceiling, but it's a big plumbing headache.

Freestanding tubs vs. built-in jetted tubs. This is also a good thing because those jets get disgusting.

Can't go wrong with subway tile and Carrera marble, IMO.

Avoid the decorative tile accents (usually glass or penny tile), which are going to look so dated in a year or two. Just marble or subway tile up to the ceiling, no accents.

Creating built-in niches around beams.

Everyone seems to like basket weave floors, but I think they look dingy. I've seen some bathrooms with the wood-look ceramic and it's very streamlined and modern looking.

Square sinks seem to be in at the moment, but you have to make sure you're not placing them where an errant door slam will chip them.[/quote]

can't wait til the ugly ass subway tile trend ends and the stupid marble counters is it out. BTW we have marble and they stain and etch easily.[/quote]

Thank you!  I don't get this fascination with subway tile.  It is as ugly and as dowdy as can be.[/quote]

+2, subway tile also had its moment in the late eighties, so with any luck we can get another 20 year reprieve.  I like the mosaic look above and also like the look of the "wood" tiles.  I know quite a few people using them in bathrooms lately.[/quote]
