Bathroom Design Trends 2012
February is when many fixture and tile manufacturers come out with their new product lines for the year. After reviewing these, designers can predict what the trends will be for that year. I've come up with the top five design trends for bathrooms in 2012. The first is soaking tubs instead of whirlpools- classic and sophisticated. Next, simple vanities with plenty of storage space. Surfaces that are easy to clean, like quartz are quickly gaining popularity, while organic forms and shapes such as natural stones and branches will also be in high demand. Lastly, soft colors that are neutral will keep your bathroom serene and timeless.

Effective Storage Solutions
The first month of 2012 is a perfect time to re-organize and get rid of items that are just taking up space. Storage is a neccessity in any home, and there are many who are living with a lack of it. Even if you have a large home, somehow, you find a way to fill it! My main advice for practicing effective storage is to edit your belongings. If you haven't used something for 5 years, chances are that you probably don't need it. I know it's hard to purge, but if you can't find use for something, maybe someone else can. Donate items to ensure they go to a deserving home and so that they don't wind up in a landfill. I've found some images to get you inspired!
