9 Beautiful Bathroom Trends That Will Make You Want to Remodel, According to Designers

An eye toward bold wallpapers, sustainable materials, and spa-like features will define bathroom design this year.

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.

Grounded in Wood

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.

Bookshelf Wealth … what does it mean to you?

For a few months now, social media has been all about a craze called “Bookshelf Wealth.” The definition on Instagram is,  “A term that refers to the perceived wealth or status symbol of having a large collection of books in one’s home.”

Will New Fed Cyber Security Program Rival Energy Star In Popularity?

When was the last time you bought a major appliance? For me, it was August 2023, when the control panel of my 13-year-old washing machine stopped working. I only had one criterion for a replacement machine besides fitting into my compact laundry closet: My new washer would need to be Energy Star rated.

That’s apparently a popular choice. Since 1992, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency debuted the program, nearly 90% of American households recognize the label, and 45% knowingly chose products with the certification in the last year, according to the site’s Impact page.

Will the new U.S. Cyber Trust Mark label have a comparable impact? If so, how long will it take? I know it will be a logo I’ll be looking for when shopping for future smart home purchases. You might want to consider it too, especially if you’re enthusiastic about all the technology enhancements being offered.
