Kitchen And Bathroom Trends for 2005

Create Custom Geometric Design
Most of the traditional kitchen and bathroom designs use symmetry and a safety of common shapes - square vanity, round mirrors and very proportional look.
New trend is creating different shapes in the bathroom by using a custom asymmetrical wall mounted vanity, a custom mirror that emphasizes the different shapes, indirect lighting to highlight the different wall height using dimmable, energy efficient fluorescent lighting fixtures with mini fluorescent cans.

Curve Lines
A new wave of design is flowing through modern kitchen and bathrooms. From mirrors to lighting, ceilings and countertops, curves are the next big thing right now. It is very popular in kitchen island and ceiling designs. Curvature touch creates a warmer modern look and feel.

Use Artistic Light Illuminations
Every room needs a light... Today, a new trend is to use lighting as a part of the room inspiration and overall theme, rather than a necessity.
Most recessed lights provide homeowners with sufficient light but adding design lighting can give a room a lot more personality.
Huge trend in lighting today is the track and hanging lights. Curved track lighting is used above kitchen islands on ceiling since it is flexible and some light can be added or subtracted. See more from Tech Lighting...

Add Iridescent Decorative Tile
New trend is a great opportunity for you to personalize your space and create a focal point in the room. How can you do it?
You can do it by creating a statement in the kitchen and bath design using iridescent glass mosaic tile. This tile can be used for a backsplash or range hood application in the kitchen or a decorative backsplash for vanity or a mirror picture frame in the bathroom. These decorative tiles add texture and interest to any type of design. See more from Crossville...

Show off your Kitchen Cabinets
In the past, cabinetry in traditional kitchens served one main purpose - storage, mainly for food and dishes. Today, cabinets are being designed for a different kind of storage - open storage to display fine art and decorations. Display cabinets bring personal touch to a room and also it is a great way to utilize spaces that in most instances are wasted. Can lighting is used to highlight the items on display even more.

Use Wall Mounted Faucets with Fashion
Wall mounted faucets are an emerging trend now. They add a clean line to any bathroom design. And you can be more creative when selecting or designing a bathroom vanity because its size or shape doesn't have to fit the faucet. Wall mounted faucets are easier to clean since the water doesn't drip down the sink, it goes strait down into the drain. Installing them in the vanity mirror (drill through) makes it even more attractive.
