Discover how evolving inclusive design trends, eco-friendly solutions, and cutting-edge tech are transforming bathroom design.
Three years ago, I attended the KBIS show in Orlando, where I was first introduced to Zip Water.

Brenda Edwards considers the four bedroom ranch-style house where she has lived for 20 years her forever home. It’s where the 70-year-old retired nurse and her 79-year-old husband want to stay as their mobility becomes more limited.
So she hired an interior designer for $20,000 and spent another $95,000 to retrofit their house in Oakdale, California. She had the kitchen aisles widened to accommodate a wheelchair in case she or her husband ever need one. The bathroom now has a walk-in steam shower and an electronic toilet seat that cleans the user when activated.

After a long day, there’s nothing more soothing than taking a bubble bath or a nice, hot shower. Bathrooms serve more than just a purely functional purpose—they’re where we spend our first waking minutes, gearing up for the day ahead and the last few moments each evening, winding down for the night. How our bathrooms look and feel can help set the tone for a great day or help us ease into a deep, restful sleep at night.
Wood furniture and accents layer in the natural elements that create inviting spaces.
One thing we can anticipate at every home furnishing market is an influx of wood furniture and home decor. The tones may change, and embellishments and patterns may shift, but wood has long been a staple material for making the connection to nature – even before biophilia was trending.
