8. Porcelain Slab Showers
Tile is a popular material for showers. It’s durable and offers lots of options to bring in color and texture. But the idea of maintaining all those grout lines turns a lot of homeowners off. Designer Brooke Brown of L&B Limited Co. is getting a lot of requests for using porcelain slabs instead. The approach minimizes grout lines while still offering durability and visual interest.

9. Maximalism
Designer Laura Fox of Laura Fox Interior Design is seeing a shift away from minimalism to maximalism. “People are rebelling from the recent minimalist trends and embracing the idea of actually having stuff,” the designer says. “We’re seeing more and more people looking for bold colors and patterns and, more importantly, ways to show off their stuff.”

10. Black, White Oak and Stacked Brick Tile
When you see several design elements trending, why not combine them all? That’s what designers Morgan and Jamie Molitor of construction2style did in the Minneapolis bathroom shown here. They were noticing lots of black, white oak and stacked brick tile coming up again and again, so they decided to bring them all together in one design.
Black rectangular marble tile in a stacked pattern and black porcelain hexagonal floor tile feature in this all-black shower. The custom floating oak vanity adds a sliver of warmth and texture to the otherwise cold surfaces.
