1. Smart Toilets
Since the pandemic has hit the globe, cleanliness has been on the top of the mind of many of us, especially in certain indoor areas, such as the bathroom and the kitchen.

The toilets have self-closing lids and a touch-free flushing mechanism. The self-cleaning technology of smart toilets induces a germs-killing light situated under the lid, which means that the self-cleaning mechanism of the smart toilet relieves you from getting exposed to germs.
2. Quartz Countertops
As we mentioned before, the latest bathroom renovation trends include easier to clean materials and allow for a hygienic lifestyle. Quartz is not only easy to clean and easy to maintain but also resistant to stains and scratching.
That said, it shouldn’t be a surprise that quartz is being integrated into most parts of home renovation, so it should be no surprise that quartz dominates the manufacturing of bathroom countertops.
Since frequent cleaning is an essential part of the new norms, the quartz bathroom countertops have soared in popularity as the quartz surface is non-porous and less prone to bacteria fostering, which usually happens in damp environments. The low-maintenance appeal of the quartz countertops is hard to resist. Besides, quartz countertops also imitate the look and touch of marble if the countertops are paired with natural wood.
3. Floating Vanities
Floating vanities are the latest trends. They render a contemporary modern touch of style while allowing a better option of space-saving and customizing the fitting of faucets, bathroom sink, and other hardware. You can find stylish designs of floating bathroom vanities that include a countertop, sufficient storage space, and a sink.

You have different storage cabinets to choose from for the floating vanities, such as vertically and horizontally placed storage cabinets. You can also opt for open or closed storage cabinets and have them adjusted higher or lower per your preferences.
4. Medicine Cabinets & Back-Lit Bathroom Mirrors
If you are looking for an essential modern bathroom style, you can’t ignore a back-lit bathroom mirror along with the medicine cabinet. Not only will you enjoy the bathroom ambiance of your choice, but you can also make it bright in the day and dim, using it as a nightlight without inducing a glare on the bathroom mirror.
The back-lit mirrors are not only eye-catching bright, but they are also quite functional and practical in the bathroom. The back-lit mirror also induces the illusion of a floating mirror due to the glowing effect on the surrounding wall.
The back-lit bathroom mirror can also create a main focal point in the bathroom. Simultaneously, it can also highlight the textured surface of the wall behind the back-lit mirror fixture. That said, if you want to add brightness to your bathroom space, we recommend opting for white tiles of white surface walls.
