For most of us, re-doing a bathroom is something that you do when your fixtures fall apart. When disaster strikes and you need a new floor or a new shower, that's the time to put all your creativity into this unfortunate opportunity, although you may have to hurry. However, you can spruce up the place with a new color on the walls any time, and that will make you feel good all over. Then there are folks who are either building a new house, or can afford a total remodel in the bathroom.
The great thing about redoing a bathroom is that it's for your use and your pleasure. If you've been cautious in the rest of your home, leaning on neutrals and everyday materials, you can go crazy in a bathroom. New materials may cost more, but you don't nearly as much of them as you would in a more public room. And who is going to object if you want all black fixtures or bright pink walls? That said, there are some design trends that are proving very popular in bathroom remodels, because a lot of people like them, and you might, too. See tiles to the ceiling, curvy fixtures, moody colors, and lots more.
