Whether you are planning a full bathroom renovation , or you just want to add a few stylish updates to this room, Saville Jacobson from Bathroom Bizarre provides an overview on what the best-dressed bathrooms will be wearing next year. Here is his forecast for the hottest bathroom trends for 2013: 1. Eco-friendly choices: Never before has there been such a rise in the demand for eco-friendly choices in the bathroom, says Saville: “ Water-saving faucets and shower roses are incredibly popular as everyone is getting on board the ‘green’ train to do their bit to help conserve the earth’s precious natural resources .

Shortly after, the Brizo industrial design team took a trip to several Frank Lloyd Wright homes around the Chicago area and were completely awed by Wright’s ability to combine styles. The cart and Wright’s homes sparked an idea for a...

They say that kitchen and bathroom renovations offer the best return on investment when it comes to resale, and designer Leslie Biggley has really put that to the test in her two most recent projects—a pair of Pinterest-worthy bathrooms. Read on for Leslie’s tips for designing two distinct bathrooms, plus her suggestions for where to save and where to splurge in your own renovation. Vanity // Mirrors // Sconces // Basket What were your goals and inspirations when designing your two new bathrooms? When I designed the en suite, I knew that I wanted the soaker tub to be the focal point of the space across the back of the bathroom with an amazing light fixture over the top because I love that look! I also wanted to conceal the toilet in its own space. I had seen them enclosed before and thought it was a great feature to be able to have someone using the washroom while others were using the vanity, tub or shower. We have two daughters, so I think it adds a lot of functionality to the space...
