Jennifer Palumbo highlights current bathroom trends




Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, Boston designer Jennifer Palumbo has recently talked about the direction bathroom design has traveled to.

"In recent times there has been a proliferation of large-format porcelain tiles," said Palumbo. "These have had a huge impact on the overall aesthetic of modern bathrooms. The large square, rectangular and plank-shaped porcelain tiles are very cost effective and provide a sleek, clean-lined look. They are often paired with natural stone tiles that help to warm up the space."

"Bathrooms in the older homes reflect a more international influence, compared to a decade ago. The owners are often young and well-traveled, and interested in transitional styling, rather than replicating original bathrooms of the era. Designs are a lot more streamlined, but also soft and respectful of the architecture."

"However, we are seeing a move away from looks that are too clinical," added Palumbo. "A bathroom needs to be an inviting retreat and this often translates to warm tones and organic forms, materials and textures. There may even be a tile that mimics wood – maybe bleached wood for a summer house."
