5 Trends in Clean Bathroom Design

Aug 13, 2021

It's no exaggeration to say that everyone is more preoccupied with having a clean home after the past year. Heavily used areas like kitchens and bathrooms are especially high on the cleanliness list, making easy-to-clean surfaces the hottest (and most stylish) of the 2021 trends.


At Medallion Home, we design all of our bathrooms to enhance everything you want and need for your daily routine.


1) Warm Colors and Durable Paint

The top colors for 2021 are vibrant, earthy, and warm. New advancements are making paints more hygienic, stain-resistant, and able to withstand vigorous cleaning. And new durable paints will help your surfaces stay cleaner for longer.


2) Quartz Countertops

Quartz is one of the hardest natural materials, resistant to scratching and staining, and easy to maintain. Plus, quartz surfacing is non-porous, so it is less likely to foster bacteria. Quartz countertops also have sleek profiles with few seams, which adds to their low-maintenance appeal.




3) Unique Wall Tiles

Large tiles and stone slabs not only look luxurious in your shower, but their minimal grout lines mean less to clean, making them a hot choice in the bath. Thanks to their minimalist appearance, subway tiles in various sizes, colors, and finishes, stacked vertically or horizontally, are another hot design trend.


4) Floor Tiles that Mimic Wood

As beautiful as hardwood floors are, they don't always work in the bathroom. Porcelain and ceramic continue to be the preferred bathroom flooring due to their durability, easiness to clean, hypoallergenic characteristics, and resistance to moisture and bacteria. Innovations in design have led to ceramic or porcelain tile that looks just like wood flooring, so you get the best in form and function.


5) Smart Toilets

Smart toilets are definitely finding their way into the post-pandemic home, according to the NKBA 2021 design trends report. They have hands-free features, like self-closing lids and touch-free flushing; some even have self-cleaning technology. Smart toilets also have streamlined profiles and wall-mount installations, eliminating the traditional exposed plumbing, and making cleaning easier.

In Florida and throughout the country, PGT Impact Windows are the gold standard when it comes to storm protection. Here at Medallion Home, we initially offered these premium windows as an upgrade because of the investment but they provide so much benefit to the home and peace of mind to the homeowner that we've decided to make them our standard in every home we build. What Are Impact Windows? Impact windows combine heavy-duty aluminum frames with impact-resistant, laminated glass and a special silicone glazing process to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. That means that during storms and hurricanes, if flying debris hits your windows, they will stay intact rather than shatter, protecting your home from the elements and people and pets from shards of glass. But these windows can do even more. Noise Reduction Your home should be your sanctuary, one where you leave the outside world at the door and that includes noise. Noise pollution is a very real thing and can disrupt your sleep at night, focus during work, or even a good movie night. PGT's impact windows reduce noise from outside by as much as 65%. UV Protection The sun's UV rays are good in small doses to help your body create essential Vitamin D, but there's really no good reason to have them flooding the interior of your home. These powerful rays can fade your furniture, flooring, and drapes, making these items look old and worn before their time. Impact windows can preserve the beauty of your home and help you save money by filtering out 99% of UV rays while still allowing in natural sunlight. Maximum Energy Savings Heating and cooling a home accounts for nearly half of the average American home's energy costs. Security About 23% of all home break-ins are accessed through a first-floor window. Impact windows are designed to withstand repeated impact from a 9-lb, 2x4 beam traveling at 34 miles per hour. It's very, very hard to break an Impact Window (if it can be done at all). It's not the kind of challenge most burglars want to face. Return on Investment For all the reasons above, particularly in Florida where tropical storms and hurricanes are a way of life, impact windows are appealing in any home. These specialty windows can yield as much as an 80% return on investment, ensuring that you'll get top dollar should you ever need to sell your home. Now Standard in All Medallion Homes High quality, impact-resistant windows shouldn't be luxuries - they should be standard features. That's why we now include them in every new home we build. Enjoy the benefits of increased storm protection, noise reduction, UV protection, savings, and security every day. Contact us to learn more.
