Trends: The Spa Bath

Ahhh, the spa bathroom- a refreshing place to start the day, a relaxing setting for decompression at day's end- is trending high with consumers according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association 2016 Design Trends Report. And here at Global Sales, we see more of our customers requesting spa-like amenities for their new bathrooms as well as bathroom remodels.

We represent an array of manufacturers that offer the materials, fixtures and furnishings to create spa-like settings. Our designers are ready to help you turn your bath into custom retreat that's perfect for your style and budget.

Color

Neutrals, blues and greens can be used to evoke a sense of calm and serenity. Behr Paint offers a number of cool, quiet color pallets suitable for a tranquil spa space.



Textures

Earthy materials like wood, natural stone, and river rock bring warmth and provide a calm, organic feel.

We recommend Florida Tile for their many beautiful high-definition wood grain tiles that bring the natural aesthetic into the bathroom. We also like their pebble-finish tiles, inspired by the feel of smooth stones on the bed of a clear running stream.


Lighting

Beautiful light fixtures provide a peaceful ambience as well as important function to bathroom work spaces. Many of our favorites are found in Progress Lightings' different families of style which include coordinated flush mount lighting, sconces, and pendants, and, of course, beautiful chandeliers.


Fixtures

Crisp white fixtures work well with both contemporary and traditional designs when creating a spa retreat. The trend to lustrous, calming white will stand the test of time in any bathroom.

Eye-catching vessel sinks continue to trend as a focal point, and set the style in your spa bath. Sparkling white vessel sinks from Mansfield are an attractive as well as affordable option.

Under-mount sinks which provide ease of cleaning are also very popular now. We like the sleek style of Kohler's line of under-mount sinks.



For a relaxing soak, free standing tubs create an elegant and luxurious focal point for the spa bath. American Standard has a variety of striking styles made to fit the space of an average-sized bathroom.






Plumbing fixtures are more important than ever in the well-appointed spa bath. Jeff Collins shares some of the many options available from Global Sales.
