Bathrooms are small spaces where good design has an outsized impact. These are the trends we are seeing most often in Metro Vancouver renovations - and which ones are worth the investment.
Curbless, walk-in showers
Frameless glass and curbless entries make a bathroom feel larger and are easier to clean and to age in place with. Proper waterproofing and a correctly sloped linear drain are essential - this is one area where professional installation really pays off.
Warm minimalism
The cool, all-grey bathroom is giving way to warmer palettes: natural stone, oak vanities, matte black or brushed brass fixtures, and large-format porcelain tile that means fewer grout lines.
Smart storage and lighting
- Recessed niches and medicine cabinets that sit flush with the wall.
- Layered lighting - task lighting at the mirror plus soft ambient light.
- Heated floors, a small luxury that makes a big difference in BC winters.
Built to handle our climate
Vancouver bathrooms need proper ventilation to manage our damp climate and prevent mould. A correctly sized exhaust fan and moisture-resistant materials protect your investment for the long term.
