Gray
Like white, gray enjoyed a boom in popularity during the 2000s and 2010s.
From gray flooring to gray paint and furniture, this neutral shade was seemingly everywhere, including the bathroom.
However, designers say its time in the spotlight is officially over.
However, theres a catchnot all grays are created equal.
Often associated with traditional design, dark to medium cherry wood finishes exploded in popularity in the 1990s.
Homeowners loved their regal appearance, and they were regularly used in kitchens and bathrooms.
Orange-Toned Finishes
Similarly, designers are cautious to steer clear of orange-toned finishes.
These once-popular vanity colors now feel artificial and tired.
Instead, opt for more natural hues and finishes.
For wood stains, stick to cooler finishes in more natural tones.
High-Gloss Black
Once regarded as sleek and modern, designers say high-gloss black vanities are officially out.
However, you dont need to avoid black entirely if you want a high-contrast ormoody space.
Simply opt for a less glossy finish, like satin or eggshell.
Dark Brown Espresso Finishes
Dark brown espresso is another outdated vanity finish designers always avoid.
Muted, barely-there pinks are also popular for a more mature and sophisticated look.
