Zillow’s Trends meet Pfister’s Faucets

Each year the design group at Zillow surveys leading interior design experts and catalogs popular photos on Zillow Digs to deliver an idea of what’s trending in home decor (and the design styles that are fading out.)

So what will be 2016’s hottest design trends? This will be the year to retire the mason jar decor, put away the chalkboard paint, and save the burlap for the next family picnic to make room for handmade accents, art decor statements, nubby natural textures, and colorful tiles. Check out Zillow’s video for examples of four trends expected to be hot this year then keep reading to see how Pfister pairs four of our stylish faucets with each of these looks!

2016’s Top Home Design Trends

1. Art deco-inspired patterns and shapes

Zillow suggest that art deco’s trademark style will be prominent this year. Beyond simple artwork and decor look for geometric patterns and honeycomb shapes in wall coverings, linen patterns, and rugs.

Elegance and dimension are key to art decor design and our Arterra Collection fits the look perfectly. Displaying its classic lines without being too ornate the family’s faceted surfaces allow for a bold look that’s not overpowering. The sharp refined lines of the Arterra family provide a traditional yet timeless look to complement your bathroom while the statuesque presence elevates the look. It is both casual and sophisticated so it integrates blissfully into many different environments. Arterra can help you incorporate the art deco trend now and be ready for a change later.

2. Nubby wool rugs

Nubby wool or other natural fibers will be the go-to texture for 2016, according to Zillow. Look for area rugs, throws, and textiles made from wool, bamboo, and linen in their neutral hues to create soft borders and dramatic statement pieces.

Drawing inspiration from the natural lines created by textile fibers, we’ve paired our Venturi Bath Collection to extend the organic trend. Bold, yet elegant, Venturi delivers water in a unique ribbon. It’s versatile design can easily be combined with a variety of bathroom styles making it an outstanding choice for those looking to bring natural elements indoors.

3. Encaustic tiles

Encaustic tiles are created from multi-colored ceramic clays rather than glaze. The pattern appears inlaid into the body of the tile (rather than on the surface as in glazed tile) resulting in a design that remains bold and rich even as the tile is worn down. Often left unglazed, these tiles create a beautiful, natural-looking focal point for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom shower tiles, accent walls and fireplace mantles.

To continue the aged-elegance look we have chosen the Jaida Bath Faucet in a luxurious Tuscan Bronze finish. Jaida expresses grace and elegance with soft, sleek lines and subtle traditional styling cues and the single control trough spout adds an element of timeless fluid functionality. Paired with the encaustic tiles this faucet can help create a well-worn environment even in a newly-installed bathroom.

4. Artisan accent pieces

Handmade items, travel souvenirs, unique artisan pieces and flea market finds will take center stage in home design as more homeowners gravitate toward decorating with unique art pieces that tell a story. Etsy, flea markets, and even big-box retailers will be working to bring a wide variety of personal elements to your home this year.

We love the Ashfield Bath Collection for this trend because of the complete uniqueness of it’s style. Reminiscent of a vintage hand-pump faucet that might have been picked up in a high-end antique market, this bath faucet is a conversation piece and a work of craftsmanship. The eclectic ambiance of artisan decor allows the Ashfield faucet to work with almost almost any existing bath decor to capture the trend without the need for a full redesign.
