From the National Kitchen and Bath Association
#1 In with the Old, Out with the New
Traditional design will be the most popular bathroom style in 2010, while contemporary designs will be a distant second followed by the Shaker design as an even more distant third. Beiges and bones will be the most common colors used in bathrooms, followed by whites and off-whites indicating a somewhat subdued color palette this year.
#2 Ceramic and Granite
Ceramic and porcelain tile will be the dominant flooring materials in bathrooms this year, while natural stone will continue to prove popular. Granite Countertops will remain king, with quartz and marble following.
#3 Simple Fixtures
The most common color for plumbing fixtures will be white. Bisque and off-white will be the only other fixture colors at all common in new or remodeled bathrooms. For the bathroom sink, simple under-undermount models will be most popular, followed by integrated sink tops, drop-in sinks, vessel sinks and pedestal sinks.
#4 A Nickel for Every Finish
Faucet finishes in the bathroom are similar to those used in current kitchen designs, with brushed nickel continuing to lead the way. Polished chrome and satin nickel will also be incorporated into many bathroom designs.
