Veranda: Trendy Bathroom Features Designers Want to Leave Behind

Veranda tapped Elizabeth Valkovics of Batten Court Design for its roundup of trendy bathroom features worth leaving behind, alongside designers from Kerrie Kelly Studio, Victoria Forehan Design, and MNG Design. The piece looks at which choices age well in a bathroom and which ones are better left to trend cycles.

Her advice runs from the practical to the philosophical: skip the budget-grade fixtures at the shower and vanity, since those are the highest-touch points in the room, and rethink standard above-the-mirror vanity lighting in favor of sconces or LED mirrors for even, flattering light. Above all, she says, choose what you will still love once the trend has passed.

No one looks good in that light. Add in sconces or mirrors with LEDs, so you have even facial lighting.
