We often warn about decorating with fleeting trends at MyDomaine, arguing that time-tested materials and practices will stand the test of time much better than an overload of terrazzo or pink velvet everything. But kitchen trends are a little different—as they guide homeowners to make decisions about their interiors that will last at least a decade or two.

If you plan on going this route, here are 12 tips for designing that picture-perfect small bathroom.
