There are a few rooms in any property where homebuyers place the most value. From an updated kitchen to a spacious master bedroom, these rooms can tip the scale for anyone searching for luxury homes in cities like Aspen. One room that often makes the biggest splash is the master bath. Luxurious bathrooms provide residents with a trip to their own spa. While many features are expected to remain popular throughout 2023, there are a few up-and-coming trends that will take bathroom design to the next level. If you’re considering buying a luxury Aspen property for sale, look for these impressive features.

Backlit mirrors

Backlit mirrors take an ordinary vanity and make it shine. No more dodging shadows while putting on makeup or straining to see whether you’ve gotten a full shave. Backlit mirrors provide even light all the way around their frames, making for a clear, crisp reflection that doesn’t cast a shadow. These simple upgrades are a quick way to bring in more light without having to find the right spot for a bulky sconce or wire in another light. While they can brighten a space nicely, backlit mirrors can also be used as soft accent lights that keep a bathroom feeling cozy and relaxing. Although they come in many shapes and sizes, the most sought-after mirrors have lighting in a variety of warm and cool tones or dimmable options.

Bold stonework

Stonework is a beautiful way to bring the outdoors in, especially in a city like Aspen. When you’re surrounded by mountains, there’s no easier way to feel immersed in nature than to step into a shower outfitted with stunning stone accents. Raw or natural-textured stones are growing in popularity in luxury bathroom design, as are other unique stone elements. Picture a granite tub, marble knobs and handles, or a shower bench carved from beautiful anthracite. While working with an Aspen real estate agent to find the right home for you, consider adding stone features to your list of must-haves.

Terrazzo is making a comeback. The unique, speckled material first became popular in the 1920s and is synonymous with Art Deco architecture. Flecks of marble and granite are set within stone to produce a striking pattern that’s both stylish and playful. Terrazzo is expected to make its mark again in 2023, whether it’s used for flooring or for siding and backsplashes. The versatility of terrazzo, and how it can pair with so many other colors and textures, makes it a stand-out trend for bathroom design in the coming months.

Gone are the days of the standard soaker tub or the two-in-one bathtub and shower. Enter instead the custom tub. This dreamy trend for 2023 welcomes in a host of custom-designed tubs built for any space. Rectangular baths, corner baths, and Japanese-style soakers are all on the rise in luxury home design. Imagine yourself beneath a waterfall with faucets tucked into beautiful stonework. Or bring in a tub fit for a Roman bath house, with trimmings that match it perfectly to your bathroom’s current design.

Bathtubs aren’t the only feature getting a serious upgrade in 2023. Interior designers and builders are testing the bounds of sink design as well. Unique sinks often carry images of minimalistic square or rectangular basins with modern faucets and warm, wood-toned cabinets. These can bring utility and elegance to a space. However, the newer sinks reimagine form and function to coincide with beauty and impact. Picture a cylindrical basin of stacked stone pieces, each painted in a lighter shade of gray than the last. Or, imagine a stunning raw-edge stone basin that feels plucked from an enchanted forest. With so many options available to homeowners, all it takes is a little imagination to truly discover what’s possible.

Playful patterns

Though sleek, minimalistic tiling has been somewhat of a norm in recent designs, a movement toward more playful patterns is emerging. Instead of a pop of color in an otherwise neutral bathroom, designers are choosing to bring in pops of pattern. Whether the patterns are brightly colored, geometric, or more subtle, patterned tiles are going to be an important trend in the coming year. For those looking to upgrade their Aspen property for sale, remember that less is more with patterned tiles. It should draw the eye to the most important aspects of the room without overwhelming the senses.

Metal accents

Many luxury trends have favored natural materials and an emphasis on neutral colors in the past few years, but 2023 is bringing back metallics. Warm, gold framing around mirrors, faucets, knobs, and shower heads will be particularly popular, though it may not be uncommon to see a mix of metal textures and types as well. If you want to add value to your current bathroom, upgrading outdated fixtures might be a wise place to start.

Texture blends

Textures are going to remain a staple of interior design in 2023 for their versatility and aesthetics. Designers are blending fabrics and woods to create a sense of seamlessness from one room to the next. This extends to some of Aspen’s most luxurious bathrooms, which may incorporate textured cabinets alongside antique velvet chairs or a patterned carpet. Homeowners looking to make the most of this trend should embrace textures and patterns they might not expect to go together.
