Contemporary Bathroom
Counter Top materials have also exploded into a kaleidoscope of options. There are popular man made options like Silestone, Corian, and a new material called Ice Stone that is made from recycled materials like glass and shells. One of the hottest new trends is glass counter tops, which can be clear, frosted, colored, or custom made to be like art pieces with integrated sinks. Stone will never be out of style, and there are new types and varieties of stones being imported from around the world everyday. Some stones that are very popular this year are white marbles like Carrera and Venatino, warm travertines like Imperial and Coliseum, granite materials in new finishes like leather and brushed finishes, and limestones like Bone and Benjamin Blue. Exotic stones like onyx and alabaster are pricey, but create gorgeous counter tops.Bathroom Design Ideas
Sinks and Faucets come in so many varieties and styles that you can always find something to suit your personality. Vessel bowls are still very popular and come in stone, glass, metal, ceramic, and porcelain materials. Under mount sinks are still the most popular choice and are available in tons of shapes and colors, rectangles are especially modish. As far as pedestal sinks are concerned, the Restoration Hardware look for traditional bathrooms is fantastic, but provides no storage. Try using them for a clean open look in a powder room. For a contemporary look, try an all glass pedestal from Boffi or an imported all stone pedestal. Wall mounted faucets provide an interesting change, but require the plumbing lines to be moved if they aren't already set up for a wall mount faucet (this can be costly). As far as deck mount faucets are concerned, use an 8" wide spread faucet and avoid the 4" models, they look dinky and cheap. Chrome, brushed nickel, and gold (not brass) are the trendy colors this year, but there are so many individual looks that almost anything goes.
Toilets have seen minimal changes, but the changes made are worthy of mentioning. Many manufacturers now make toilets that are "right-height" or chair height, which makes them easier for everyone to get up from. The elongated toilet has been around for quite some time, but is the preferred toilet for all areas. The only time a round toilet should be used is if you are tight on space and need the extra inches for clearance purposes.LUXURY BATHROOM DESIGN
Bathtubs are available in so many varieties that there is almost certainly something for everyone to love. Hydrotherapy features like water jets, warm air bubbles, or both are available in a wide selection of tubs. Soaking tubs have also seen resurgence lately, with more people tending to want simplicity over something they need a manual for. Freestanding tubs are extremely chic and in demand, and are available in both traditional and contemporary stylings.

Cabinets are an integral part of bathrooms, and should be custom or semi-custom manufactured cabinetry. You need good storage in bathrooms, especially master baths, and quality cabinets provide the right storage and an excellent finished look. Whether you are going for a modern or traditional feel, there is something for everyone.Modern Bathroom Design (Armani/CASA)

Lighting in bathrooms needs to be bright, as most of the things going on there are task oriented. Recessed cans or interesting track lights on dimmers are good choices, as are sconces on each side of the vanity. In some magazines, they show chandeliers over bath tubs (which can be gorgeous), but be sure that your ceiling is high enough so that the installation passes code.
